LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 3, 2024 — Blade and Bow has re-released its ultra-premium 22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey at the Stitzel-Weller Distillery and Garden & Gun Club in Louisville, KY. The highly sought-after iconic American bourbon is aged and bottled at the historic Stitzel-Weller Distillery, where it will be available beginning this month, alongside select U.S. markets while supplies last.

Statement from Douglas Kragel

“Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a testament to the enduring craft of American bourbon,” said Douglas Kragel, Master Educator for Blade and Bow. “Bourbons of this age and caliber are a rarity, and when they do reach this level of maturity, they reveal incredible complexity. This whiskey unfolds with layers of baked orchard fruit, warm vanilla, and hints of spiced honey, creating a deeply nostalgic flavor profile that pays tribute to the heart of Kentucky tradition.”

Annual Release and Tradition

Each year, Blade and Bow’s 22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon is released to pay homage to the craftsmanship, history, and tradition of Stitzel-Weller Distillery. Each sip offers a connection to bourbon’s rich history and craftsmanship, while also reflecting the warm hospitality that is at the heart of Kentucky’s bourbon tradition.

Flavor Profile and Tasting Experience

The complex and enticing flavors of the Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey create a highly anticipated demand for the 22-Year-Old. Due to the finite amount of liquid available, there is no guaranteed timeframe for how long this in-demand bourbon will be accessible.

The fragrant aroma of the 22-Year-Old carries notes of toasted oak, vanilla bean, fig and just a touch of caramel, bringing this highly acclaimed bourbon a sweet and smoky flavor layered with hints of torched sugar, honey-baked apples, and warm spices. While a highly-limited volume of bottles are released each year and only available while supplies list, consumers can experience the 22-Year-Old year-round at The Garden & Gun Club at the Stitzel-Weller Distillery. At the distillery, the 22-Year-Old Tasting Experience ($150) includes one ounce of Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old in a handcrafted Terrane glass, alongside a signature wool tartan bag, Blade and Bow enamel pin and tasting notes guide.
