Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, one of the first releases in over two decades to utilize actual whiskey distilled at the Stitzel-Weller Distillery, is named after the blade shaft and ornate bow handle that together comprise the two parts of Stitzel-Weller’s iconic skeleton keys.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBlade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon is crafted using a solera-aging, a process typically reserved for aging cognacs, ports and sherries. This is done to preserve the precious original stock of Stitzel-Weller, which is mingled with other fine whiskies during the solera process, during which a series of casks are filled at different intervals over a long period of time (in fact, Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon contains the oldest remaining stock of whiskey distilled at Stitzel-Weller, and will be the last available liquid for sale that was distilled at the original distillery).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAs whiskey from the oldest cask is emptied and bottled, the cask is refilled with an equivalent amount of whiskey from the second-oldest cask in the solera. This cascading effect continues until the youngest cask in the solera is filled with new whiskey. As a result, no cask in the solera is ever fully emptied. In addition, as the younger whiskey ages and cascades through the solera, its average age and complexity gradually increase over time.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBlade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon has a restrained nose with hints of citrus, mint, oak and green apple. The palate is slightly fuller, with touches of apricots, figs and pears mixed with cereal grains, and leads to an easy finish with caramel, burnt oak and cinnamon spice.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBlade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon is the final chance to try the last remaining whiskey distilled at the original Stitzel-Weller Distillery. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPick up a bottle today!                            \u003cdiv class=\"caskers-brand-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Blade \u0026amp; Bow\u003c\/h2\u003e\n                                            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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/?brand_dropdown=3015\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all Blade \u0026amp; Bow bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Bourbon\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are not many things more American than bourbon, and although most of it is produced in Kentucky, it can be produced all over the USA.\u003cbr\u003eIt must be made with at least 51% corn and bottled at 40% ABV or higher.
