Sometimes the best thing for a whiskey is to leave it alone. When we filled a handful of Oloroso sherry barrels, we didn't mean to forget about them in a rickhouse, but that's precisely what happened. We're thrilled to share those results with you now. This rare spirit spent an extended finishing period in our Oloroso barrels, and the lengthened oxidation process resulted in a remarkable sequence of flavors that are unlike any other whiskey we've ever tasted. Each sip carries unique raisin and fruit qualities with just a hint of hazelnut on the nose. Our Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Oloroso Sherry Casks release is available at our distillery for a limited time.

Blade 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). As 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.
