Simply named and plainly packaged, this is a seventeen year old bourbon from Kentucky Bourbon Distillers in Bardstown, Kentucky (the same guys that bottle Noah's Mill, Rowan's Creek, the Willett Family line, and more). Using a wheated bourbon mash bill, the Vintage Bourbon is sourced from an unnamed, unconfirmed Kentucky distillery (looking at you there, Bernheim). As the name implies, it has been aged for 17 years in new, charred American oak. Bottled at 47% ABV, this offering has sadly been discontinued, so snap up a bottle if you get a chance.

The distillate source for this bottle changed during its existence as a brand and as a result the quality can greatly vary. Find a good bottle and it’s a 95+ point whiskey that could change your life...get the bad one and you’ll be kicking yourself for spending $600-700 on it as you pour it down the drain. I highly recommend just drinking this at a bar or splitting the risk with a few friends.
By far my favorite bourbon in the past 15 years. I wish I had bought a case instead of one bottle. I still have a little and am always trying to find another.
Equal parts dusty urethane, brown sugar, oak, and unyielding affection.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
