Lux Row has unveiled its Four Grain Double Single Barrel Bourbon. The new whiskey arrives at 115 proof.
The Four Grain Double Single Barrel Bourbon is a combination of its rye and wheated-bourbon mashbills, blending a single barrel 4-year-old wheated bourbon and single barrel 4-year-old ryed bourbon.
“The enormous popularity of our Lux Row 12 Year Bourbon, despite being a Kentucky-only distillery-exclusive offering, inspired the creation of a bourbon that could be offered in all markets. The result is Lux Row Four Grain Double Single Barrel Bourbon,” explained Eric Winter, whiskey brand manager at Luxco. “The ‘double single barrel mashbill’ is a direct innovation from Lux Row 12 Year’s double barrel mashbill. Combining Lux Row Distillers’ two mashbills in this fashion has created a unique four-grain bourbon with a well-balanced taste that is certain to become a favorite of both ryed- and wheated-bourbon drinkers.”
The wheated mashbill makes for a smoother bourbon with caramel and citrus notes and velvety oak finish, while the ryed portion produces a spicier bourbon with hints of caramel and vanilla. Together, the bourbon’s four grains (corn, wheat, rye and malted barley) are said to create a balanced, flavorful mix of both mashbills.
Just 7,500 (6-pack) cases of the Four Grain Double Single Barrel Bourbon will be made available and are set to be released in August for $79.99 per 750 ml bottle. For more information, head over to the brand’s official website.
In April, Lux Row launched Blood Oath Pact 9 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The latest edition in the annual series was finished in Oloroso Sherry casks.
