Valentine’s Day is a time to let that special someone know how much you love them by giving them Valentine’s cards, chocolate, and maybe a foot rub or two. But, while that’s all well and good, wouldn’t they rather get a well-made bottle of whiskey instead? The folks at Kentucky’s J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery definitely think so.

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.
