Small batch

Small batch

Small batch is a term usually referring to bourbon whiskey, and denotes liquor blended from selected barrels [ [http://www.cocktail.com/spirits/smallbatchbourbon.htm Coctail.com, "Small-batch bourbon"] ] .

Small-batch bourbons are positioned for the upper-premium market, and have been growing in popularity recently as a reply from bourbon producers to the enormous success of single malt whiskies. Small-batch bourbons are typically aged from six to nine years in oak barrels [ [http://www.smallbatch.com/ SmallBatch.com information site] ] , but more limited series are also available (aged up to 23 years [ [http://www.cocktail.com/tasting/smallbatchbourbonsipping.htm Coctail.com bourbon ranking] ] ). The majority of small-batch bourbons is produced in Kentucky, the American state traditionally associated with whiskey.

Examples of small-batch bourbons include e.g. Booker's, Basil Hayden's, Knob Creek, 1792, Woodford Reserve.
