Henry & Sons Small Batch Bourbon is a distinguished "farm-to-glass" spirit produced on the Henry family farm in Dane, Wisconsin. This bourbon is notable for its use of heirloom red corn, a variety developed at the University of Wisconsin in 1939, which the Henry family has grown since 1946. While the grains are grown on-site, the spirit is contract-distilled (historically at 45th Parallel Distillery) before returning to the farm to age in a rustic, non-temperature-controlled dairy barn. This exposure to Wisconsin’s extreme seasonal temperature swings (often fluctuating by 100°F annually) forces the whiskey deep into the wood, accelerating flavor extraction.
Spirit Description
This expression is a unique four-grain bourbon that utilizes both rye and wheat as flavoring grains. It presents a warm amber color with honeyed highlights. On the nose, it is exceptionally inviting, offering aromas of butterscotch, sandalwood, and brioche, accented by notes of stewed cherries and figs. The palate is creamy and robust, delivering layers of caramel, vanilla, and cinnamon spice, balanced by the earthy richness of the heirloom red corn. The finish is long and smooth, characterized by toasted oak, maple-soaked raisins, and a lingering touch of white pepper.
Food Pairing
The creamy texture and spicy-sweet profile of J. Henry make it a versatile partner for rich and savory dishes. It pairs beautifully with beef tenderloin crostini with horseradish cream or pecan-crusted walleye, where the grain-forward sweetness complements the nuts and protein. For a classic pairing, try it with aged Gouda or sharp Cheddar; the cheese's fat helps carry the bourbon's caramel and fruit notes. For dessert, it is an ideal match for a caramel cream puff or a dark chocolate tart, as the vanilla and cinnamon in the spirit harmonize with the cocoa and sugar.
