Bourbon is one of our favorite spirits. It’s a classic drink that dates back hundreds of years, and connoisseurs have different takes on how to enjoy bourbon. At Spirits On Ice, we prefer our bourbon chilled.

Buffalo Trace is a great, everyday bourbon for lovers of a classic American brand. Manufactured in Kentucky, Buffalo Trace comes in several varieties. The brand’s straight bourbon whiskey has strong notes of nutmeg and caramel. It also has hints of hay and apricot for a well-rounded bourbon. Buffalo Trace is perfect for serving with a Spirit Ice Vice ice ball and nothing else.
Four Roses is excellent for cocktails. This brand is spicy with notes of cinnamon. Elevate this bourbon by adding spices and herbs to the mix, or go with something sweeter. A bourbon ice ball from Spirit Ice Vice makes the flavors of this liquor dance.
Maker’s Mark is great to serve with food because of its depth of flavor. Simply pour a few finger fulls over an ice ball and enjoy with barbecue, meats, fish, and cheese. Complex aromas of dried apricot, chocolate, coffee, and corn give way to a flavor of caramel-apple, pumpkin pie, and bread pudding.
Woodford Reserve bourbon is also a Kentucky favorite. Small batches are hand-crafted, and they present aromas of spicy wood, sweet grain, and fruit. An ice ball from Spirit Ice Vice brings out the peppery taste once it hits your tongue.
Get ready for a real treat. Michter’s is based in Louisville, and its US*1 Kentucky straight bourbon blends sweet and spice in the same flavor palate. Discover notes of sweet, spice, vanilla, and cocoa from the first sip to the last. An ice ball from Spirit Ice Vice makes all of these flavors sing.
