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.”

Bardstown

There aren’t many distilleries as innovative and exciting as Bardstown Bourbon Company. The Kentucky-based distillery is all about pushing the boundaries of what a whiskey can be. Its most recent release definitely lives up to those lofty expectations.
Bardstown Cathedral French Oak Bourbon

Bardstown Cathedral French Oak Bourbon is the inaugural launch in that new Distillery Reserve collection. It’s a blend of 100% Kentucky bourbons that were matured between nine and eighteen years. It gets its name because this well-curated blend is finished for fourteen months in 300-year-old French oak from the Bercé Forest in the Loire Valley in France. To put it into perspective, the trees were planted during the reign of Louis XIV (circa 1715). The wood was harvested to restore Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
