Rare 22 Year Old Kentucky Bourbon Released to Celebrate Bourbon Heritage Month.

Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey relaunches for National Bourbon Heritage Month.

Blade and Bow has re-released its ultra-premium 22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey at the Stitzel-Weller Distillery and Garden & Gun Club in Louisville, KY. The highly sought-after iconic American bourbon is aged and bottled at the historic Stitzel-Weller Distillery, where it will be available this September alongside 15 markets while supplies last.

Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a homage to the American bourbon industry. Rarely do such complex and delicate whiskies 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.
