This popular expression is released once per year in limited quantities. The award-winning whiskey itself was matured for a full twenty-two years in charred American oak barrels using the Solera aging method. The result is a sublime 45.5% ABV complex sipping bourbon with notes of orchard fruits, dried apricots, toasted grains, vanilla, toffee, figs, charred oaky wood, and a blend of spicy, wintry spices. It’s warming, sweet, spicy, and perfect for the cold fall and winter days ahead.

“Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a testament to the enduring craft of American bourbon,” Douglas Kragel, Master Educator for Blade and Bow, said in a press release. “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.”

When I first started writing about the world of spirits, the first thing I learned was the definition of alcohol. Without learning that, it would be pretty difficult to write about gin, vodka, whiskey, or any other hard liquor.

This is what I learned: in the simplest terms, alcohol (also known as ethanol) is a liquid that’s made from the natural fermentation of sugars interacting with yeast. It has an intoxicating effect and, while it’s also used for fuel and other purposes, it’s often enjoyed as a drink. As a drink, alcohol is either a wine, beer, or spirit. And while we write about all three, today, we’re most interested in the latter.
