Saddle Up for Montana Heritage Salute in a Bottle”>Cole Hauser‘s Bourbon Adventure
Hollywood has seen its fair share of star-studded spirit launches, but here comes a bourbon with true grit. Joining the ranks isn’t just any silver-screen cowboy—it’s Cole Hauser, the smoldering star of the ruggedly captivating Yellowstone series. Climb aboard, folks, because we’re about to trot through the story of this amber elixir that’s as bold as a Montana skyline: Lazy K Bar Bourbon.
A Spirited Team Rides into the Sunset
Whiskey making isn’t a lonesome path for our intrepid actor. Cole Hauser lassoed in the expertise of David Leuschen, a true-blue Montanan whose sprawling cattle ranch lends its name—and storied legacy—to this smooth distilled creation. But what’s a dynamic duo without the brains behind the bourbon operation? Enter Britt West, a barrel-aging wizard with a knack for crafting spirits that sing the soul of the West. Together, this powerhouse trio pledges to raise a glass with folks for a century or more, hoping you’ll share their pride in every sip of this Montana Exclusive delight.
Unlocking the Secrets of Kentucky’s Craft
Now don’t be fooled, while Lazy K Bar boasts a Montana heart, its soul is steeped in the revered traditions of a Kentucky Distillery. The bourbon itself is a treasure eight years in the making, cradled in alligator char No. 4 barrels. If that sounds like an intense cuddle session, that’s because it is—the very same embrace that Wild Turkey aficionados admire.
As for the spirit’s inner workings, it’s a classic bourbon blend with 74 percent corn, 18 percent rye, and a playful eight percent malted barley. The tasting notes? Picture caramel and toffee waltzing with aged honey, before a crescendo of sweet toast, malted grain, and dark spices pirouette with a subtle apple finish. No judgments if you haven’t yet had the pleasure—we’ll just be here, nosing our glasses in anticipation.
The Exclusive Montana Trail
Before you open up your web browser ready to click ‘Buy Now,’ there’s a wee hiccup. This bourbon isn’t just an exclusive drop; it’s a downright tease. Bottles of Lazy K Bar Bourbon are playing hard to get, available solely in fine Montana retailers. Should you crave a taste of this distilled drama, it might be time to swap screen scrolling for a real adventure under the Big Sky. And sure, while cunning collectors might wrangle a few onto the secondary market, be warned—their prices may well soar higher than an eagle in Yellowstone’s blue yonder.
