Bottled from a private, 80-barrel collection that has carefully aged for 13 years within 200 yards from where it was distilled, this bourbon honors Revolutionary War hero, humanitarian, and founder of Augusta, Ky., Captain Philip Buckner.
Distilled, aged, and bottled in Bardstown, Ky. under the strictest bourbon tradition, this single barrel, unfiltered cask strength product ranges from 115.8 to 130.4 proof, depending on the barrel.
An inviting amber color is the conclusion of an intense 13-year relationship between the mash and its new American oak barrel. The warm, mahogany hue characterizes
Buckner’s understated potency that has been deservedly earned as patience gives way to perfection. A haunting combination of antique wood, wet soil, and dry corn pulls forward from a honeyed vanilla palate. This introduction immediately suggests a rare complexity that can only be found in a true Kentucky bourbon with properly aged maturity.
Exotic spice and caramel notes are directly complimented by hints of buttery cream and cured tea leaves. Each sip provides an unforgettable experience that instantly returns you to the limestone hills of Kentucky only to demand further exploration.
It is $199.99 plus tax. Find it next week on OHLQ.com.
