Rowan’s Creek Small Batch Bourbon is part of the Small Batch Boutique Bourbon Collection launched in the 90s by the Willett distillery, just like Kentucky Vintage Small Batch Bourbon, Pure Kentucky XO Small Batch Bourbon, or Noah’s Mill Small Batch Bourbon. In the 2010s, it was the best-selling brand produced by Willett. It is named after the creek that runs through the distillery grounds. The creek itself is named after John Rowan, a Kentucky statesman who lived in the late 1700s and early 1800s, and whose mansion is said to have inspired Stephen Foster’s song “My Old Kentucky Home.” Made from a mashbill composed of 72% corn, 13% rye, and 15% barley, Rowan’s Creek is produced with barrels aged 5 to 15 years and bottled by hand at 50.05%.
