Cask strength bourbon isn't for the faint of heart — and that's exactly the point. Bottled straight from the barrel with no water added to tame the proof, these bourbons hit your glass exactly as the distiller intended. The result is an unfiltered, unapologetic pour where every note is amplified: the caramel is richer, the oak is deeper, the spice burns a little brighter, and the finish seems to go on forever. For enthusiasts who want to taste bourbon at its most honest, cask strength is the gold standard. Add a few drops of water and watch the flavors open up, or take it neat if you're feeling bold. Either way, these bottles deliver an intensity that regular-proof bourbon simply can't match.
