BLADE AND BOW 22-YEAR-OLD

TASTING NOTES

"Rarely do such complex and delicate whiskeys make it to this age in the state of Kentucky, but when they do they can be magical. This Bourbon has layered flavors reminiscent of a freshly baked apple pie, with undertones of fresh dough and apple, layered with caramelized sugar and honeyed spices bringing everything together in an Americana flavor profile."

BLADE AND BOW 30-YEAR-OLD

TASTING NOTES

"Opening with bright, inviting aromas of zesty lemon and fresh raspberry mingling with warm ginger and cinnamon, the bourbon evolves to reveal rich notes of fig, burnt sugar, and molasses. On the palate, it is luxuriously oily and chewy, with layers of hazelnut, subtle anise, and a whisper of blackcurrant. The finish is cool and menthol-like, leaving a lasting impression of both warmth and brightness."

THE ART OF AGING

“My vision for this 30-Year-Old project was to create a bourbon that captured decades of time, complexity, and nuance – something that would stand as a milestone in Blade and Bow’s portfolio. Each barrel was assessed individually to determine whether it was suitable for blending or strong enough to stand alone. The expectation of a bourbon of this age is often that it will be over-oaked, harsh, or simple, but what I discovered was truly surprising – many barrels revealed incredible depth, rich vanilla, and layered fruit character,” - Nicole Austin.
