Bucked Up Bourbon Whiskey
Bucked Up Bourbon — 80-Proof Straight Bourbon
Bucked Up Bourbon is a straight bourbon bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) in a 750mL bottle — rich, smooth, and easy to enjoy, with notes of vanilla, chocolate, and a touch of smoke.
Part of Bucked Up's California-distilled whiskey lineup, this is the go-to bottle of the bunch: bold enough to stand out in a cocktail, smooth enough to keep pouring neat. A portion of the proceeds from every bottle supports the Wild Horse Sanctuary in Shingletown, California, helping protect and preserve America's wild horses.
