Blade and Bow – 22 Year Old Bourbon 750ml

The accolade-collecting Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old bourbon was inspired by the famed passion and know-how of the Stitzel-Weller house of whiskey wonders. Its a limited-release bourbon from one of the last batches produced at the distillery before it was shut down in 1992. The smooth and smoky character offers notes of honey spices and apples. They named it the best straight bourbon at the 2015 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and gave it a Double Gold Medal. Its a rare and sought-after offering. Blade and Bow celebrates the myth of Stitzel-Weller by reimagining bourbon for the new generations. They offer the last remaining barrels from the historic whiskey maker showing us once again the true art of bourbon. The name comes from the two parts of a skeleton key that opens the bourbon cathedral: the blade shaft and the ornate bow. There were five keys to the distillery each representing the five steps of the craft: grains yeast fermentation distillation and aging.
