Anderson Club 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon 1990s

An old bottle of Anderson Club bourbon from the mid-1990's.

It was distilled and bottled at the old Heaven Hill distillery, before it was tragically burned down in a fire in 1996 and production moved to the new site at Bernheim.

Anderson Club is a charcoal filtered whiskey, a practice known as the Lincoln County Process and often better associated with Tennessee Whiskies such as Jack Daniel's. This often leads to a common misconception, likely deliberately promoted by some distillers, that whiskey produced in this fashion cannot be called bourbon.
