The story behind it

The maker

Ol' Major was founded by spirits enthusiasts determined to perfect the notoriously unstable fat-washing process for commercial bottling. By combining award-winning Kentucky bourbon with natural smoked bacon flavors, they created a stable, highly versatile cult-classic spirit.

How it is made

This innovative spirit is produced by pressure-infusing classic American bourbon with the organic essence of slow-cooked, pan-fried bacon. Developed by a craft team in North Carolina, the process avoids the sediment and short shelf-life of home-brewed fat-washed whiskeys.
