Rye Whiskey and Small Batch Straight Bourbon Whiskey receive top marks in California competition
DALLAS, TX [March 18, 2022] – In an exciting start to 2022, Belfour Spirits’ 94 proof nostalgic Rye Whiskey and 100.5 proof Small Batch Straight Bourbon Whiskey have received prominent recognition at this year’s San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
Earning a score of 93 points and 90 points respectively, these whiskeys have proven their intricate and intriguing flavors to a panel of judges who represent prestigious restaurant groups, well-respected wineries, and even Gordon Ramsey’s “Hell’s Kitchen.”
The Rye Whiskey is known for its rich golden color, sea-salt nose, caramel taste, and lingering hints of peppermint. A bolder option, the Small Batch Straight Bourbon offers a medium amber color that teases wildflower, gardenia, and spices, with a smokey honey and orange finish.

He stated, “We’ve worked hard to craft an ultra-premium experience for our fellow whiskey drinkers, and we’re very happy to hear that our meticulous efforts have been recognized by this accomplished group of judges.”
