Product details
Hogsworth Bourbon is a bold and innovative spirit that redefines American whiskey by blending premium bourbons with aged French Armagnacs. Created by Raj Peter Bhakta, the founder of WhistlePig, Hogsworth aims to disrupt the traditional whiskey market by offering a unique and complex flavor profile. The blend comprises 52% bourbon—sourced from Tennessee (42%) and Minnesota (10%)—and 48% Armagnac, including vintages from 2012 (22%), 2010 (21%), and a rare 1982 vintage (5%) . This meticulous combination results in a spirit that marries the robustness of American bourbon with the elegance of French brandy, delivering a rich and layered tasting experience.
On the nose, Hogsworth Bourbon offers inviting aromas of honey, crème brûlée, baking spices, and gingersnap. The palate reveals flavors of chai, green apple, black pepper, and orange zest, culminating in a firm finish with notes of oak spice, marmalade, and vanilla bean. This complex profile makes it an excellent companion to a variety of foods. Pair it with rich, fatty dishes like smoked meats, aged cheeses, or creamy desserts such as crème brûlée and dark chocolate truffles to accentuate its sweetness and depth. Hogsworth Bourbon is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to fully appreciate its intricate flavors.
