What is Laird's Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey Barrel Finished Series?

Laird's Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey Barrel Finished Series takes a unique approach by finishing their bourbon in barrels that previously held their famous applejack. This innovative process imparts subtle apple notes and a hint of complexity to the bourbon, creating a distinctive flavor profile that sets it apart from traditional Kentucky bourbons. Interestingly, Laird's holds the distinction of being America's oldest licensed distillery, with a history dating back to 1780 when George Washington granted them a license to produce apple brandy. This rich heritage and expertise in apple spirits lends a special character to their bourbon, making it a true fusion of American whiskey traditions.

Why do we love Laird's Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey Barrel Finished Series?

Laird's Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey Barrel Finished Series offers a fascinating twist on traditional apple brandy, combining the rich heritage of America's oldest distillery with the bold flavors of bourbon. This unique spirit spends time aging in freshly emptied Kentucky bourbon barrels, imparting complex notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak that beautifully complement the apple brandy's fruity essence, creating a truly distinctive sipping experience.

How do you drink Laird's Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey Barrel Finished Series?

Nose: Rich aromas of caramel and vanilla mingle with subtle notes of apple and pear. Oak and spice undertones provide depth, while a hint of toasted nuts adds complexity.

Palate: Smooth and well-balanced. Flavors of butterscotch and toffee lead, followed by warm baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. A touch of dried fruit and a whisper of apple brandy character emerge mid-palate.

Finish: Medium to long finish. Pleasantly warming with lingering notes of oak, vanilla, and a subtle fruitiness. A gentle spice tingle and faint nuttiness round out the experience.
