Garrard County Distilling Co. Relaunches Flagship All Nations Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Spirits company Staghorn is relaunching the entire whiskey lineup from its Garrard County Distilling Co. beginning with the unveiling of its new flagship expression: All Nations Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
All Nations Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a 5-7 year old blend crafted by a panel with decades of experience at such distillers as Jim Beam, Barton, MGP, and Bluegrass. With Garrard County Distilling Co. coming online in just January of 2024, All Nations Kentucky Straight Bourbon was crafted with whiskey stocks sourced from distilleries across the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. The mash bills are: 75% corn, 12% rye, and 13% malted barley; 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley; and 64% corn, 24% rye, and 12% malted barley, respectively.
The whiskey was aged in #4 alligator char barrels in Clermont, Danville, Owensboro, and Boston, KY before arriving for a final aging at Garrard County Distilling Co. in Lancaster, KY. All Nations is blended onsite using water sourced from the limestone-rich Lancaster Public Spring aquifer and bottled at 96 proof (48% ABV).
All Nations Kentucky Straight Bourbon is described as having aromas of “sweet spice and dry leather blended with clove, revealing Madagascar vanilla and toasted turbinado sugar, reminiscent of campfire marshmallows.” The palate exhibits notes of “poached pear followed by honeyed black tea and tobacco smoke.” The finish is “savory with white peppercorn and subtle black walnut.”
All Nations Kentucky Straight Bourbon is now available in Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee, as well as online at garrardcountydistillingco.com, for a suggested retail price of $39.99. All Nations Small Batch Bourbon and Single Barrel Bourbon will be relaunched in the coming months.
