Bourbon De Luxe 10-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Small Batch 001

Age: 10-years old

Distilled: Lawrenceburg, KY

Proof: 108.6 proof

Mash Bill: 75/13/12 Corn/Rye/Malted barley

Tasting Notes: The nose is complex and softly perfumed, opening with the confectionary sweetness of glazed donuts, gently spiced cherry, and raspberry preserves. Tootsie Roll chocolate and dried black tea add depth before giving way to a kiss of orange simple syrup and sweet, elegant cedar.

The palate is layered and nuanced, with a gorgeous, gently syrupy honey note meeting fruit-forward oak. Beneath it all, orange soda concentrate adds a bright citrus lift, while a touch of rickhouse funk makes a brief appearance, almost like an Easter egg in an otherwise beautifully balanced profile. A soft, dusty almond nuttiness emerges midpalate, with raspberry jam continuing to build and linger.

The finish is almost effervescent, with little pops of vibrant fruit and brown sugar sweetness before gradually settling into a softer, more mature oak character.

Product Description: As independent bottlers, Rolling Fork Spirits has revived this 113-year-old bourbon brand that traces its roots back to the early 1900s. The brand survived Prohibition after being acquired by the R.E. Wathen Co. in 1926, and became part of the American Medicinal Spirits Co. portfolio in 1927. The return of Bourbon de Luxe in 2024 marks the revival of this historic brand, which follows the motto created by the Wathen family in 1788: No Finer Spirits Can Be Made.
