A Peach of a Bourbon

From The Peach Truck and the folks at Nelson’s Distillery, is this seasonal peach infused bourbon. Fresh summertime peaches make beautiful harmony with the caramel notes of Belle Meade Bourbon. Use in everything from mint juleps, to classic old fashions or just to give a “snort” to lemonade.
