Daviess County
Cabernet Sauvignon Finished Bourbon

48%*)
*please note that the ABV of this bottle may vary
Price
$43.99
A blended of two Bourbons — one high rye, the other wheated — aged four years and then finished in Cabernet Sauvignon Red Wine casks.
In a world of super-mega-conglomerates dominating international liquor distribution, Luxco stands out as one of the few larger, family-owned companies. But they have a large footprint. By our count they have 198 Spirit brands and variants across the full spectrum of adult beverages. If you have sipped at a bar or mixed cocktails at home you have had their products. They own five major distilleries, including Distiladora González Lux, Green Hat, Limestone Branch, Lux Row, and MGP. From this impressive platform they produce some of the most famous Spirits brands in the world.
Like its sister Bourbons, Daviess County Cabernet Sauvignon Finished Bourbon is a blend of two mash bills — one high rye and the other wheated. Both are aged for four years in new oak. But his is where the stories change. After the Spirits are married, they are and finished in Cabernet Sauvignon casks for another six months with the final dram being bottled at a very pleasant 48% ABV.
Smartass Corner:
The original Daviess Country Distilling was a fixture of Kentucky Bourbon-making in the late 1800s before Prohibition took a whack. Lux Row has revitalized the brand nicely with a trio of offerings.

Appearance / Color
Warm Bronze
Nose / Aroma / Smell
The aroma is light but balanced with notes of vanilla flan, brûlée sugar, blackberry and raisins, and a bit of apple.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
The palate follows the aromas, but brings additional notes of caramel truffles, Cracker Jacks, tannins, and just a dash of spice to a creamy mouth-feel.
Finish
The finish is long, sweet, and warm.

J.B.'s father, Joseph W. Dant, invented a still made from a poplar log at 16, as he couldn't afford a copper still. Although crude, it worked exceptionally well!
At any given time, there are more barrels of Bourbon in Kentucky than there are people. The population of the Bluegrass State is about 4.4 million. Today there are more than 5 million barrels of Bourbon sitting in the rick-houses of that Old Kentucky Home. That’s nearly 300 bottles of Bourbon per person, or about 60 gallons each.
"Remember that iconic poster from World War II showing Rosie the Riveter as a patriotic American woman doing her part for the war effort? Well, hundreds of businesses did their part too, and the Bourbon distillers stepped right up with ‘em.
Distilleries all over Kentucky and Tennessee were re-tooled to distill fuel alcohol and ferment penicillin cultures to treat wounded soldiers."

Bourbon rules refer to manufacturing methods rather than location. Bourbon must be matured in new and charred American white oak casks for at least 2 years. If the bottle has no age statement, the Bourbon is at least 4 years old. No coloring or flavoring of any type is allowed, and the mash bill must contain at least 51% corn.
Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
Pinhook’s high-proof Bourbon won Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, while the Straight Rye Whiskey won Double Gold the following year. In 2021, their Bourbon War Vertical Series 5 Year and the 2021 Flagship Bourbon won a Gold Medal each, with a Double Gold going to their Tiz Rye Time Vertical Series 5 Year. Pinhook is evidently doing something right!
