Puncher's Chance The Left Cross is a rare finishing of the finest 14-year old bourbon in barrels that previously held award-winning, flavorful Jamaican dark rum.

Puncher's Chance American Whiskies are built on the tenet of "perfect balance" - where the flavors and aromas that comprise a memorable whiskey, such as sweet, spicy, fruity, floral or savory, sing in resolute harmony, with none outshining another.

Crafted from sourced five- and six-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbons from IJW Whiskey Company.

Our Single Barrel Selection: These are finely researched special barrels within IJW’s great selection, with perfectly balanced nose, taste, mouthfeel, and complexity. They have been hand selected as a standalone bourbon, permanently available online and at fine spirits retailers for year-round enjoyment. Puncher's Chance Single Barrel Selection is offered at a fiery cask strength of 108 proof, that has already won a Platinum Medal and Best in Show 2nd Runner Up honors at Tony Abou-Ganim’s heralded TAG World Spirits Awards in the American Bourbon Single Barrel category.

Tasting Notes
The Undisputed is aged in deeply charred American Oak barrels to fully draw out the natural sugars. It is then bottled at 108 proof to reflect the balanced, full flavor of the mother brand.
The Color is Medium to deep amber.
The first taste is classic Puncher’s Chance - rich, warm body, yet balanced and smooth. The Undisputed adds a little bit of complexity, as you're treated to warming vanilla and oak, with a delightful nuttiness.
The finish is long and robust, a reminder that you're enjoying a remarkable bourbon.
Bottled really close to cask strength, Puncher’s Chance The Undisputed is best enjoyed with a little water. Like many whiskeys, this will open up the flavors and subtle nuances perfectly.

Compare to $169.99 at Total Wine and More
With barrels sourced by IJW Whiskey Company of Louisville, KY and crafted by Master Blender Steven Hughes, THE UNIFIED BELT is the first cross-category whiskey blend. First into the ring is a four-year-old high-rye base Kentucky Straight Bourbon distilled with a proprietary yeast and aged to four years in barrels featuring a #4 alligator char aged at a traditional rickhouse in Danville, KY; the mash bill being 70% corn, 20% rye, 10% malt. That is married to a four year old Irish Whiskey crafted from 100% malted barley and proprietary yeast, then aged in former Bourbon barrels in a palletized warehouse in Ireland. To add further complexity and depth, a third cask joins the lineup, this being a 14-year-old Bourbon finished in first-fill Pedro Ximenez and Olorosso Sherry casks for up to 15 months. The mash bill of this precious liquid is 84% corn, 8% rye and 10% malt

Tasting Notes
At the ring of the bell, The UNIFIED BELT enters with dark fruit, orchard fruit and cocoa, which are perfectly balanced with layers of warm oak and baking spice. The finish is long with hints vanilla and baked green apples.
The brand name "Puncher's Chance" is a boxing reference, denoting that almost anyone can deliver a knockout punch, no matter what the odds are, particularly if that punch is delivered with perfect balance.
