Sam Houston Very Small 85.6 Proof 750ml Batch 71

Numbered bottle selections like this early Batch 21 capture the vintage charm of Sam Houston's traditional Kentucky straight bourbon roots. Handcrafted and cut to an approachable 85.6 proof, it delivers balanced layers of warm vanilla, sweet orchard fruit, and gentle toasted wood. A collector-friendly historical bottle, it serves as a remarkably smooth and nostalgic pour from the early modern bourbon boom.
