We are committed to quality when it comes to our spirits, which is why our favorite way to enjoy Flying Ace Straight Bourbon Whiskey is neat. Our bourbon whiskey is aged for a minimum of three years and proudly bottled in Michigan. Flying Ace was inspired by generations of American aviators who were committed to the same kind of quality work our spirits now boast. If we aren’t enjoying our spirits neat, we like to take inspiration from one of these 5 classic and distinctly American cocktail recipes.
