Scotti's Springs 5 Year Private Stock Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Five years of patient aging in new American charred oak barrels has done something remarkable to this bourbon. What began as the smooth, high-corn approachability of Scotti's two-year Straight Bourbon has evolved into a full-bodied, layered expression that earns its place on any top shelf.

The nose opens with caramelized sugar, cocoa, and dried citrus peel, with a subtle eucalyptus lift that longtime Scotti's fans will recognize. On the palate, butterscotch and rich caramel lead the way before giving way to toasted oak, warm baking spice, aniseed, and orange oil—familiar notes, but with a depth and maturity that only time can build. The finish is long, bold, and structured, with lingering caramel, cocoa, and oak spice that echo the intensity of the award-winning Private Stock.

Crafted in small batches from California yellow corn, rye, and barley, and matured in the coastal climate of Northern California, this expression is bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof)—balanced enough for sipping neat or on the rocks, yet robust enough to elevate any whiskey cocktail.
