Kessler American Blended Bourbon Whiskey

Kessler American Blended Whiskey is a long-standing brand first introduced in 1888 by Julius Kessler. This blended whiskey combines 25% whiskey with 75% neutral grain spirits, creating a smooth, light profile with minimal complexity. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), Kessler features subtle notes of caramel, vanilla, toasted grain, and a touch of spice on both the nose and palate. The finish is short, soft, and slightly sweet. It’s not intended for sipping neat but performs well in mixed drinks or highballs. While it lacks the depth of a straight bourbon, its smoothness and low price make it a go-to choice for casual whiskey drinkers or those seeking a versatile, budget-friendly option.
