Blade and Bow Whiskey Re-Releases Rare Kentucky Bourbon

In the spirit of September being National Bourbon Heritage Month Blade and Bow is re-releasing a 22-year-old Kentucky whiskey.

The highly sought after bourbon at the Stitzel-Weller Distillery and Garden & Gun Club in Louisville and is available for a limited time in 14 markets.

“An ultra-premium bourbon, Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old is complex and enticing. I liken 22-Year-Old’s tasting notes to a freshly baked apple pie, fragrant and delicious,” said Doug Kragel, Lead Educator for Blade and Bow in a press release. “With an aroma layered with oak, caramel, and fresh stone fruit, this highly acclaimed bourbon is sweet and smoky, accented with well-balanced tasting notes of torched sugar and apples baked in honey and spices.”

While quantities of the bourbon are fixed and demand will be high, there’s no guarantee of getting your hands on this prized liquid.

Bourbon aficionados can try 22-Year-Old for themselves year-round at The Garden & Gun Club at the Stitzel-Weller Distillery. The 22-Year-Old Tasting Experience includes one ounce of Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old in a handcrafted Terrane glass, alongside a signature wool tartan bag, Blade and Bow enamel pin and tasting notes guide.

The Stitzel-Weller Distillery opened back in 1935, following the repeal of prohibition, in Louisville where it remains.
