This popular expression is released once per year in limited quantities. The award-winning whiskey itself was matured for a full twenty-two years in charred American oak barrels using the Solera aging method. The result is a sublime 45.5% ABV complex sipping bourbon with notes of orchard fruits, dried apricots, toasted grains, vanilla, toffee, figs, charred oaky wood, and a blend of spicy, wintry spices. It’s warming, sweet, spicy, and perfect for the cold fall and winter days ahead.

“Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a testament to the enduring craft of American bourbon,” Douglas Kragel, Master Educator for Blade and Bow, said in a press release. “Bourbons of this age and caliber are a rarity, and when they do reach this level of maturity, they reveal incredible complexity. This whiskey unfolds with layers of baked orchard fruit, warm vanilla, and hints of spiced honey, creating a deeply nostalgic flavor profile that pays tribute to the heart of Kentucky tradition.”

Highland Park

Highland Park Distillery is notable for several reasons. It is located in Kirkwall on Orkney, a northernmost archipelago off the coast of mainland Scotland, and is one of the most northernly located Scotch whisky distilleries. It was founded in 1826 by Magnus Eunson, a man who was a descendant of the Vikings. The brand makes its notable lightly peat-smoked single malt whiskies today with this Viking spirit.

Recently, this popular brand announced it would be launching its oldest single malt whisky. To say this is a timeless, memorable expression is an understatement.

Whiskey being poured into a glass

I've written about alcohol for almost 20 years, and in that time, I've learned a few things. One of the biggest things I've learned is that there's something special about whisk(e)y. Whether you enjoy a nuanced single malt Scotch whisky, a complex bourbon whiskey, a spicy rye whiskey, or any random whisk(e)y (only the U.S., Ireland, and Mexico use the 'e' in whiskey) from a far-flung locale, this barrel-aged spirit is for everyone.

There are countless styles and expressions to choose from, and there are a number of ways to imbibe them. This includes cracking a bottle open, pouring it into a glass, and drinking it neat. You can also sip it on the rocks with a splash of water to open up the aromas and flavor, or enjoy it mixed into your favorite whiskey-based cocktail. We aren't here to tell you how to drink whiskey. But we would love to help guide you on your boozy journey.
