Great Jones x Jean-Michel Basquiat Empire Edition Bourbon
Great Jones Distilling Company, Manhattan's first and only whiskey distillery since Prohibition, pays homage to the vibrant spirit of New York City with their Empire Edition Bourbon, featuring the iconic artwork of renowned artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.
This special edition bottle showcases Basquiat's "Mecca" (1982) artwork, a piece that celebrates the city's skyline and helped solidify Basquiat's position as a prominent figure in the Downtown Manhattan art scene.
But the artistry doesn't stop at the label. Inside, you'll discover a 4-year-old straight bourbon crafted in small batches from 100% New York-grown corn, malted barley, and rye. Aged in American oak barrels, this whiskey boasts a perfectly balanced flavor profile, with notes of dry corn and light vanilla on the nose, followed by a toasty palate with hints of creamy vanilla and a light peppery finish.
Great Jones Straight Bourbon is a true reflection of New York's terroir, with its grains sourced from the legendary Black Dirt region of Warwick Valley, renowned for its nutrient-rich soil. The result is a uniquely New York spirit that embodies the city's grit and greatness.
