Age: 13-years-old

Proof: 135 proof

Barrel no: #B101

Bottle Count: 118 bottles

Tasting Notes: Caramel, charred marshmallows and dried strawberries. The profile is far more fruitier than I would expect at 13-years. The heat is there but kept in check by the sweeter notes. Cinnamon and nutmeg develop towards the back palate. Toasted oak and orange zest dominate a medium finish.

About the product: A true Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, this limited release Buckner's whiskey unmistakably captures your attention and rewards you from nose-to-finish. Aged 13-years in new, charred oak single barrels, Buckner’s offers an understated potency with exceptional balance, commemorating the distillery’s inaugural bottling.

Before distilleries began springing up in central Kentucky, bourbon whisky flowed right here in the original Bourbon County.  Corn-based distillations from hilltop stills found their way down to the banks of Augusta in old oaken barrels, where they were loaded on flat bottom boats and distributed downstream to the west and south.  This journey would not only transport the whisky, but also transform it into what we know today as bourbon.

The precise mash recipe would be canonized, and the Ohio River would become the vehicle to advance the popularity of this uniquely Kentucky spirit.  Today, the waterfront remains a defining attribute of our charming river town as the Augusta Distillery proudly occupies one of the historical first stops on the original Bourbon Trail.  With casual ease, authenticity, and a humble sophistication, our bourbons capture our prosperous past and enterprising future with products designed to help unwind, revel, and linger just a little while longer.
