Six Earth Orbits of Kentucky Bourbon
E-40's brand copy says it best: this bourbon matured for "six earth orbits around the sun." The rapper and Vallejo entrepreneur's Earl Stevens Selections line made its whiskey name with the Kuiper Belt 8 Year — hailed in 2021 as one of the year's best sourced whiskeys — and the 6 Year carries the same 75/21/4 recipe in a younger, livelier pour: cinnamon, melted caramel, dried fruit and honey up front, a spicy peppery back palate.

Tasting Notes
Nose — aged oak and toasted caramel (official sell sheet). Palate — thick and round; cinnamon and melted caramel up front, then dried fruits and honey. Finish — medium, balanced and sweet, fading to toasted oak with a spicy, peppery back palate (official brand notes).
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a splash of water to open the rye spice — at 90 proof it's an easy sipper. Also a strong pick for an Old Fashioned with a little more backbone than standard.
