Every now and then you pick up a bottle purely based on looks. I had been seeing the H. Deringer Bourbon Whiskey floating around social media and secondary platforms for a bit over a year and I knew for the right price I wanted. I heard fairly negative reviews and that didn’t change my desire.
The name of this bourbon is attributed to one of an American famous gunsmith Henry Derringer. He designed The Philadelphia Deringer – a popular concealed carry percussion handgun of the era.Because of their small size and easy availability, Deringers sometimes had the dubious reputation of being a favored tool of assassins. The most famous Deringer used for this purpose was fired by John Wilkes Booth in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
H.Deringer bourbon comes in the exquisite crystal decanter designed by a famous glass artist. Mash Bill: Corn 75%, Rye 21%, Barley Malt 4%.
I was down in Atlanta for Cigar Week last month and saw it at one of my favorite stops. I picked it up without question. I agree with some of the reviews. It’s not terrible but doesn’t meet the $120 price tag. And to make matters worse — the gun topper broke in transit. I hoping I can fix it.
