Heritage Distilling BSB Brown Sugar Bourbon

The Brown Sugar Bourbon From Gig Harbor

Heritage Distilling Co. opened in Gig Harbor, Washington in 2012 and built its name on small-batch Pacific Northwest whiskey. BSB — Brown Sugar Bourbon — became its signature: a young, oak-rested bourbon sweetened and spiced the way its name promises, with natural brown sugar and cinnamon folded in before bottling at an easy 60 proof. The formula took the flavoured-whisky category's top world title two years running, in 2018 and 2019 — Heritage entered it as a flavored whiskey and beat the field. (A later Tennessee-made "Brown Sugar Blend" at 70 proof is a different product under different ownership; this is the original Washington bottling.)

Tasting Notes

The brand's own short description fits: sweet and indulgent. Brown sugar leads on the nose and palate, cinnamon warmth builds behind it, and the bourbon base keeps a thread of oak and grain under the sweetness. At 60 proof it drinks soft and warming rather than hot — dessert-leaning whiskey, by design.

How to Enjoy

BSB was built for mixing as much as sipping: pour it over ice, fold it into an Old Fashioned for a brown-sugar twist, or shake it into a Whiskey Sour. It also disappears happily into coffee and hot toddies. More flavored pours and cocktail bases are in our whiskey collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is BSB a flavored whiskey?
Yes. The label states it is bourbon whiskey with natural brown sugar and cinnamon flavors and caramel color, and Heritage Distilling won World's Best Flavoured Whisky (World Whiskies Awards 2018 and 2019) with it. It is typed as a flavored whiskey on this store for exactly that reason.

What proof is BSB Brown Sugar Bourbon?
This Heritage Distilling bottling is 60 proof (30% ABV). Two lookalikes are not this bottle: the later 70-proof "Brown Sugar Blend" relaunch made in Tennessee, and Heritage's own BSB 103 at 103 proof.

Where is BSB made?
By Heritage Distilling Co. in Gig Harbor, Washington — the bourbon base is the distillery's own, rested in new charred American oak before the brown sugar and cinnamon go in.
