Bluegrass Distillers opened their tasting room doors and introduced their first product in November 2015. This bourbon whiskey was produced in Lexington, Kentucky using locally-grown organic ingredients and distilled in a copper still from Portugal. The mash bill for their first batch is comprised of 80% corn and 20% rye. It ages for about 6 months in charred oak barrels and is bottled at a hefty 54.5% ABV.

This is a super-sweet bourbon. At 80% corn, of course, it's going to be. Rye makes up the other 20%, leaving a spicy after note. Bluegrass is six months away from their bourbon going straight. I'd be interested to see what it tastes like at that point, and then again as it ages further. It's enjoyable now, even as young as it is, and I think it's just going to get better!
The nose is full of corn, almost white dog, due to the young age. The taste, especially for the high proof, is exquisite and smooth. I'm placing a huge bet on this expression in 6 to 10 years being really popular and in high demand.
Very sweet. Enjoyed one of the first batch bottles. Potential.
Meh
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
