So, here goes …
Kentucky-based Lux Row Distillers have released this special bourbon which has been distilled and aged in Bardstown, Kentucky, USA.
A Multi-award winning Whiskey, distillery notes say it “initially has hints of caramel and citrus but continue sipping and it morphs into a velvety oak flavour with unabashed spice.”
Aged in charred oak barrels for 10 years, this bourbon boasts a unique flavour profile specific to each batch. It’s one-of-a-kind, just like the rebels who drink it!

Tasting Notes – Kentucky 10 Year Old Single Barrel Bourbon 100 Proof Whiskey (50%)
|
Nose: An orchard extravaganza! Lots of crisp fresh apples, sweet toffee and banana.
Palate: Oaky with a little dryness. Toffee, lemon citrus, seville oranges and a little chocolate. Finish: Deep and warming spice that grows with each sip topped with sharp pepper. Overall: A very tasty dram indeed with plenty going on – I’m not surprised it has been a multi-award winner! |
