Process & Profile

Pursuit United Joint Operations Bourbon is a special 108-proof blend of straight bourbon whiskeys created from Pursuit United Double Oak barrels selected by veterans. The release takes the idea behind Pursuit’s multi-distillery blending program and applies it to individually selected Double Oak bourbon barrels, bringing multiple whiskey profiles together into one unified expression.

The foundation is Pursuit United’s signature three-mash-bill bourbon blend, combining straight bourbon components from Kentucky, Tennessee, and New York. Pursuit’s Double Oak process then adds a lengthy secondary maturation using custom 36-month seasoned French oak medium-toast staves, developing greater depth, sweetness, oak influence, and texture.

The three bourbon recipes used in Pursuit United’s Double Oak Bourbon are 78% corn, 10% rye, 12% malted barley from Bardstown Bourbon Company; 80% corn, 10% rye, 10% malted barley from Pursuit’s Tennessee distilling partner; and 70% corn, 20% wheat, 10% malted barley from Finger Lakes Distilling. Joint Operations brings veteran-selected Double Oak barrels together at 54% ABV (108 proof) for a rich, full-flavored bourbon centered on caramelized sweetness, vanilla, fruit, spice, and toasted oak.
