LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In celebration
of the historic opening of the Stitzel-Weller Distillery 85 years
ago, Blade and Bow has re-released its rare and limited 22-Year-Old
Kentucky Straight Bourbon. An ode to the distinctive distillers who
set the standard for crafting exceptional bourbon, this
award-winning whiskey is the latest release from the famed
distillery and will be available in 12 states as well as at
Stitzel-Weller itself.
"We are honored to call the Stitzel-Weller Distillery home to
Blade and Bow bourbons, and to play a part in preserving the
careful craftsmanship and unique artistry that was established and
perfected within these walls," said Meghan Redler, Brand Manager for Blade and
Bow. "Releasing Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old this year during
Bourbon Heritage Month allows us to pay homage to this historic
distillery with our finest liquid."
This coveted re-release is available just in time for this
celebratory month, which was originally created to emphasize the
significance of bourbon being America's "Native Spirit." The
month-long celebration aims to highlight the heritage,
craftsmanship, tradition and achievements that the bourbon industry
has contributed to the United
States. As the most recently aged and bottled bourbon at the
Stitzel-Weller Distillery, which includes some of the last bourbon
produced there before it closed in 1992, and inspired by the
passion of its original creators, Blade and Bow's 22-Year-Old
Kentucky Straight Bourbon makes for the perfect bottle to
commemorate the occasion.
"Beginning with a pronounced nose reminiscent of toasted oak
layered with vanilla bean, figs and a light touch of dark caramel,
this limited-release bourbon's taste is accented with notes of
torched sugar and apples baked in honey and spices," said
Doug Kragel, Lead Educator for
Blade and Bow. "With the rich history of the Stitzel-Weller
distillery palpable in every sip, Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old is
truly the perfect nod to the days of bourbon past."
Embodying the one-of-a-kind artistry that has been produced by
Stitzel-Weller's rich traditions, the rarity of Blade and Bow's
22-Year-Old has created a cult-like following, drawing in consumers
who are looking to taste a bit of the past. Blade and Bow
22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey will be available in
limited quantities beginning in September in the following states:
California, Texas, Georgia, Colorado, New
York, South Carolina,
Illinois, Kentucky, Washington, D.C., Tennessee, North
Carolina and Virginia.
