Core Description & Profile

The foundational spirit for these private selects is a high-rye Kentucky Straight Bourbon, known for balancing classic Bluegrass sweetness with a lively, spicy character
  • Mash Bill: A traditional recipe of 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley.
  • Aging: Minimum of 4 years in new charred American oak, though private barrels are often selected for their exceptional maturity.
  • Crafting: Distilled using 100% copper equipment and local limestone well water in Kentucky.
Tasting Notes
  • Nose: features vanilla wafers, roasted almonds, and citrus zest. Finished barrels may add intense notes of maple syrup or "holiday" mulling spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Palate: A complex mix of honeyed caramel, orange peel, and herbal tea. The high rye content introduces peppery oak, ginger, and allspice.
  • Finish: Long and warming with lingering heat from the higher proof, often ending with dry cinnamon and toasted oak.
Packaging & Exclusivity
  • Bottle: Housed in a custom, concave bottle with etched glass depicting Lexington's iconic horse farm fences.
  • Label: Features a distinct bone-white and gold label.
