Five & 20 Spirits Deep Water Bourbon Review
For $70, some might find the price of this 7-year-old New York release a little steep, but it’s a stunning outlier in many positive respects. With a mash bill of 95 percent locally sourced New York corn and 5 percent malted barley, this bourbon serves up a sweet, yet nuanced profile with a kiss of charred oak bringing balance to the whole equation.
