Hancock's President's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

Hancock’s President’s Reserve presents as a quietly refined single-barrel bourbon—easy drinking, approachable, and polished rather than flamboyant. With a smooth profile and moderate proof, it works well for both casual sipping and relaxed bourbon evenings.

Origins & Craftsmanship
Bottled by the Sazerac Company and distilled at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky, Hancock’s is crafted from the distillery’s high-rye mash bill (commonly referred to as “Mash Bill #2”). The whiskey is selected as a single barrel—meaning the contents of one aging barrel are bottled under this label—giving each batch its unique character. It is bottled at 88.9 proof (44.45% ABV) and, while it carries no official age statement, it draws upon the distillery’s typical maturation practices for single-barrel bourbons.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Gentle and sweet, with aromas of tropical fruit (mango, papaya), fresh vanilla, honeyed corn and a soft note of oak.

• Palate: Smooth and medium-bodied—honey and clover sweetness come first, then a subtle fruit tone (apple/pear), followed by light rye-driven spice and warm toasted oak.

• Finish: Moderately long and warm, with dry oak tannin, a hint of pepper, and lingering vanilla/cherry undertones.
