LEXINGTON, KY — Kentucky Senator Bourbon announces the upcoming release of its fifth small batch of Kentucky straight Bourbon whiskey, titled after the illustrious Kentucky Senator John Brown, known for his pivotal role in bringing about Kentucky’s statehood. This fifth batch will be available this summer and completes the run of barrels that began with the six-year William DeBoe release, followed by the John Carlisle release (aged seven years) and John Sherman Cooper release (aged eight years).
The John Brown Release is highly anticipated for the exceptional quality of taste from its previous releases. Aged for nine years, this Bourbon boasts a robust 107 proof with a mash bill comprising 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley.
Approximately 1,200 bottles of this limited edition 2024 small batch Bourbon will be distributed, retailing for a suggested price of $149.99. Crafted in Kentucky, the Bourbon is meticulously distilled and aged before being bottled at Bluegrass Distillers Bluegrass in Lexington and distributed by Kentucky Eagle Wine & Spirits.
The John Brown Release will be available at select Kentucky retailers, with a single barrel private selection offered at all Liquor Barn stores. Additionally, this exclusive release can be purchased online at www.BourbonOutfitter.com.
In a special collaboration, a limited quantity of the John Brown Release will be offered at the renowned Jack Rose Dining Saloon in Washington, D.C. and its neighboring spirits shop, Premier Drams.
