Process & Profile

Episode 097 is an 8-year Kentucky straight bourbon from Pursuit Spirits’ Single Barrel Select program. The private-selection band identifies Pacific Edge and Kenny’s West Coast Toast, while the handwritten strength is 132.8 proof, or 66.4% ABV.

The Pursuit Series presents individual barrels as separate episodes. The producer bottles the series without adding water to reduce proof and without filtration. This 700mL selection preserves that barrel-strength presentation and the individual character of Episode 097.

Tasting Notes

The bottle’s Show Notes describe a sweet and tart profile: “It’s sweet and tart. Pucker up, buttercup!” The undiluted 66.4% ABV presentation makes a small, slow tasting pour a useful starting point.

What Makes It Special

• An individually selected 8-year Kentucky straight bourbon barrel.
• Identified by Episode 097 and its private-selection band.
• Bottled at 132.8 proof without proof reduction.
• Unfiltered, following the Pursuit Series approach.
• A 700mL single-bottle presentation.

How to Enjoy

Pour a small measure into a tulip-shaped whiskey glass and allow it a few minutes to rest. Compare the first sip with a second small pour containing a few drops of water, adding gradually to suit your preferred strength.

For a simple pairing, try an unsalted cracker or mild aged cheese between sips so the whiskey’s sweet-tart character remains the focus.
