Bowright Whiskey Co.’s Archer’s Moon Bourbon
Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | Jan. 20, 2024
In classical mythology, an archer’s moon portrays the perfect curve of Diana’s hunting bow. Though a perfect bourbon is largely subjective, we think Archer’s Moon Bourbon from Bowright Whiskey Company in Lake City comes awfully close. Distilled from about a 60/40 split of corn and equal parts wheat and barley, this spirit is aged in American white oak casks before finishing in port wine barrels (which the distillery sources straight from Portugal). The result is smoothly-spiced bourbon with a delightfully dark and figgy finish. Sip on a few fingers’ worth, or try it in the Tart Cherry Old Fashioned, complete with tart cherry bitters and a splash of juice. Grab a glass—or heck, go for the whole bottle ($50)—at Bowright Whiskey Company’s Lake City tasting room (103 Main St.). bowrightwhiskey.com
