Blade and Bow Straight Bourbon
750ml & 91 Proof
What is Blade and Bow Straight Bourbon?
Blade and Bow Straight Bourbon pays homage to the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery, incorporating some of the last bourbon produced there before its closure in 1992. Interestingly, the brand uses a unique solera aging system, typically associated with sherry production, where a portion of older whiskey is retained in the barrels as they're refilled with new spirit, creating a complex mingling of different ages in each bottle.
Why do we love Blade and Bow Straight Bourbon?
Blade and Bow Straight Bourbon offers cocktail enthusiasts a taste of history, as it's partially made with some of the last remaining bourbon distilled at the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery before it closed in 1992. This unique bourbon employs a solera aging system, blending older whiskeys with younger ones to create a complex flavor profile that marries rich oak and vanilla notes with subtle spice and a hint of dried apricot.
How do you drink Blade and Bow Straight Bourbon?
Blade and Bow Straight Bourbon shines when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing its rich flavors to unfold gradually on the palate. This versatile bourbon also excels in classic whiskey cocktails, particularly those that highlight its robust character, making it a year-round sipper that pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes like grilled meats or bold cheeses.
Nose: Vanilla and caramel hit first, followed by fresh oak and a hint of cinnamon. There's a subtle fruitiness reminiscent of ripe apples and dried apricots. A whisper of toasted nuts rounds out the aroma.
Palate: Smooth and well-balanced. Honey sweetness mingles with toasted grain and oak. Spices like nutmeg and allspice add complexity. Mid-palate brings notes of leather and tobacco. A touch of citrus zest brightens the overall flavor.
Finish: Medium to long. Warm oak lingers with a gentle peppery spice. The sweetness fades to a pleasant dryness, leaving hints of dark chocolate and roasted coffee. A subtle smoky note appears at the very end.
Blade and Bow Straight Bourbon is crafted using a unique solera-style aging system, where barrels of different ages are blended to create a consistent flavor profile. This process, borrowed from sherry production, involves fractionally blending older whiskeys with younger ones, allowing the bourbon to maintain complexity while ensuring a reliable taste across batches.
