Fox & Oden Small Batch is a modern, well-made bourbon with an East Coast sensibility, poured at Grappa in Queen Anne, Seattle. It is a polished, approachable pour for the drinker who enjoys discovering a newer name done well.

About the Distillery

Fox & Oden is a Michigan-based bourbon brand built on carefully sourced, mature whiskey distilled in Indiana, at the well-regarded MGP facility that supplies many respected American bourbons. The whiskey is blended and bottled in Michigan, where the brand selects and marries barrels to its own house profile. As a sourced brand, Fox & Oden emphasizes thoughtful barrel selection and small-batch blending rather than operating a historic distillery of its own.

Style & Mash Bill

This is a small-batch bourbon drawn from Indiana-distilled whiskey, blended in Michigan. It is built on classic high-rye bourbon mash bills associated with its MGP source, which give the whiskey a generous backbone of spice alongside its corn sweetness. The small-batch approach marries a limited selection of barrels to create a consistent, characterful pour.

Tasting Notes

Expect a smooth, rounded pour: butterscotch, fig, and nutmeg on the nose lead into salted caramel, charred oak, and leather, accented by warm baking spice and a whisper of tobacco. It is a richly flavored, balanced bourbon that drinks well on its own and rewards a little time in the glass.

What to Pair It With

The bourbon’s caramel and spice make it a fine companion to our Sicilian meatballs and a thoughtfully composed charcuterie board. Its richer, oak-driven side also stands up nicely to our American Wagyu steaks. Explore the full dine-in menu.
