Fugitives - Grandgousier Single Barrel Tennesee Whiskey - SNOW DAY SPECIAL

Started in 2016, Fugitives is named after a post-WWI group of intellectuals from Nashville’s Vanderbilt University that emphasized agrarian heritage. There’s an analogue in Fugitives’ emphasis on local corn, making this truly Tennessee Whiskey.

The centerpiece of the company’s range is called “Grandgousier,” after a character in the Gargantua pentalogy by Rabelais. The foundation of this whiskey is a local heirloom corn known as Hickory Cane. Using the legally-stipulated Lincoln County Process, the distillate is filtered through Tennessee Sugar Maple charcoal (handmade by Fugitives) before maturation.

Tennessee- Grandgousier Tennessee Whiskey is a true taste of Tennessee terroir, an exceptional, unique, and rare small batch whiskey. A spectrum of complex grain folded into a hint of butter biscuit. The nose is robust with caramel and sweet corn with notes of fresh apple.
