After already releasing a slew of award-winning whiskeys, including Small Batch PX Sherry Cask Finish, 12-Year Double Barrel, and Lux Row Four Grain Double Single Barrel, Bardstown, Kentucky’s Lux Row Distillers is set to launch a new, unique expression.

This new, small-batch whiskey is a blend of four-year-old wheated and high-rye bourbons. The blended bourbon is finished in Albariño wine casks (a dry white wine known for citrus, acidity, and a hint of salt) for six months.

The result is a 105-proof whiskey that (according to the brand) begins with a nose of nectarine, lime, and grapefruit, along with classic whiskey aromas. The palate (on top of classic bourbon flavors) gains flavors like lemon zest, honeydew melons, and just a hint of acidity and salinity.

“We wanted to combine the fruity citrus flavors of Albariño wine with the corn-influenced sweet notes of our wheated and ryed bourbons,” Lux Row Master Distiller John Rempe said in a press release.

“The outcome is a delicious combination of two opposing flavors that results in a truly unique expression.”

“Our Lux Row brand portfolio is focused on giving bourbon consumers what they want – high-quality offerings that bring unique flavor options and taste profiles,” Lux Row Brand Manager Eric Winter said in a press release.

“Our latest Albariño offering is outstanding, and we’re looking forward to sharing it with our distillery guests and visitors.”
