Old Crow
Old Crow is a brand of Kentucky bourbon whiskey that has been in production since the early 19th century. It is named after Dr. James C. Crow, a Scottish immigrant who is credited with developing key techniques in the production of bourbon.
History[edit | edit source]
Old Crow was first produced in the 1830s by Dr. James C. Crow, who worked at the Old Oscar Pepper Distillery in Woodford County, Kentucky. Dr. Crow is often credited with pioneering the sour mash process, which involves using a portion of the previous batch's mash to start the fermentation of the new batch. This process helps to maintain consistency and quality in the whiskey.
After Dr. Crow's death in 1856, the brand continued to be produced by various distilleries. In the 20th century, Old Crow became one of the best-selling bourbons in the United States. However, its popularity declined in the latter half of the century.
Production[edit | edit source]
Old Crow is made using the sour mash process, which is a standard method in bourbon production. The whiskey is aged in new, charred oak barrels for a minimum of three years. The aging process gives Old Crow its distinctive flavor profile, which includes notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak.
Varieties[edit | edit source]
Old Crow is available in several varieties, including:
- Old Crow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
- Old Crow Reserve
Cultural References[edit | edit source]
Old Crow has been mentioned in various works of literature and popular culture. It was a favorite of several notable historical figures, including Mark Twain and Ulysses S. Grant.
