This exceptional four-year-old Kentucky bourbon is a spectacular find that completely redefines what a honey-finished spirit can be. Breaking away from mass-market shortcuts, the craftspeople at this historic Owensboro distillery pour one hundred percent raw, local honey directly into the original charred oak barrels, letting the whiskey and honey naturally fuse together over several months. Bottled at a robust ninety-two proof, it preserves the authentic warmth and bold rye spice of the traditional bourbon rather than hiding behind sugary syrups. It is an incredibly smooth, balanced pour from a legendary distillery originally known as the whiskey without regrets, making it a perfect treat to share with friends or enjoy in a classic cocktail.
Tasting Notes

-
Flavor: Wonderfully plush and velvety on the tongue, opening with rich golden honey and vanilla icing before a lively kick of baking spice and toasted pecans rolls in.
-
Finish: Medium to long and surprisingly clean, leaving a gentle trail of waxy honeycomb, soft leather, and a comforting warmth of rye spice.
