Four Branches Founders Blend Bourbon Review

By Doug Fraser

Rating: A-

Four Branches Founders Blend Bourbon is the result of a culmination of four prior US service members from the four major branches of the US Military (i.e. not the Space Force). The bourbon represents those four branches–Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy–with the intent to be enjoyed by all while still giving you that Kentucky kiss of a  a four-grain bourbon. That quadruplet is Michael Trott, Alfredo Franco, Robert Casey, and Harold Underwood. They say their ethos is born from the warrior spirit, honoring the fallen and supporting the families left behind. Four Branches actively serve veterans and families of veterans.

The Bourbon
Four Branches Bourbon is a four-grain bourbon with a mash bill of 65% corn, 15% rye, 10% malted barley, and 10% wheat. Four Branches bourbon is bottled at 96 proof.

Color: Light Gold

The nose immediately starts with some vanilla and oakiness. It then opens up to some warm baking spices, oats or grain, corn, and orange citrus. On the palate, there is more vanilla along with baking spices, graham crackers, oats, and corn sweetness. The finish is medium in length with more notes of oak, corn, and subtle baking spices.

The Price
Four Branches Founders Blend Bourbon can be found for $88 USD.
