Old Louisville Batch 2 Kentucky Straight Bourbon

$309.00
Overview

This is a unique bourbon! It's one of the best bottles we sell, and something we keep in our personal bars at home. 7 Years. Highly recommended!

Small batch, cask strength, and only 1622 bottles made. Old Louisville Batch 2 comes from the Old Louisville Whiskey Co, a family-run outfit out of the historic Old Louisville neighbourhood. It's a 75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley mash bill, aged in Colombian oak and bottled uncut at 48%. That higher rye content gives it more spice than your standard bourbon, with plenty of caramel and vanilla underneath to balance it out.

Each barrel is stored in very humid cellars to help draw out the flavours. They use only premium spirit and age their whiskey for 7- 10 years before bottling it by hand. 

A straight Bourbon bottled at barrel proof – uncut, unfiltered. It's not cheap, but once tasted, you will realise its value

Tasting Notes
  • Nose: Bright apple and caramel, a hit of rye spice, sweet vanilla coming through.
  • Palate: Spice up front, then a swirl of sweetness. The rye heat settles into caramel and a touch of cacao.
  • Finish: Long and smooth, with a zesty spice and sweet nectar that hangs around.

Distillery Information
