LEXINGTON, KY (December 18, 2024) – Town Branch Distillery, a proud member of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail®, has unveiled its most historic release to date: the Town Branch 15-Year Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Single Malt Whiskey Archive Series Vol. 1. This inaugural release, part of a multi-year series, showcases some of the oldest American Single Malt Whiskey ever made.
Available at Town Branch Distillery and select markets across the U.S., this highly anticipated bottle will retail for $399.99 (750ml).
The Archive Series: A Legacy in Every Bottle
In 2009, Dr. Pearse Lyons, the visionary founder of Town Branch Distillery, commissioned a selection of barrels crafted entirely from 100% malted barley. These barrels, aged in Kentucky bourbon barrels, form the foundation of the Archive Series, which will release annual age-stated bottlings through 2030.
The 15-Year Bottled-in-Bond Whiskey is a Single Barrel, 100 Proof, Non-Chill Filtered expression. Each bottle includes a collectible coin offering lifetime access to free tours at the Town Branch Distillery—a unique touch that connects whiskey lovers to the brand’s heritage.
“When you select our special single malt whiskey release, you become part of our family’s traditions and legacy,” said Mark Lyons, 7th-generation Lyons family member. “It’s personal—and a privilege to share it with you.”
