Western Spirits Beverage Company is a bit of an upstart in the world of Bourbon and American Whiskey. Founded in 2008 in Bowling Green, Kentucky, they focus on a vision to build unique, innovative spirit brands. And we’re lucky they did. They’ve developed a tidy range of Bourbons, American Whiskies, and even Moonshine brands to fit every palate and price point. Previously, their Spirits were sourced from a variety of distilleries in and out of Kentucky. But starting in 2017 they signed a distilling partnership with The Bardstown Bourbon Company so all of the Spirits comes from their impressive, state-of-the-art distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky.
Lexington Bourbon is named after a famous horse that sired more Kentucky Derby winners than any other. And we think that makes for a great name for a Bourbon. The intent was to make just that — and real deal Straight Bourbon that stayed squarely in its lane. That makes Lexington Bourbon a very nice daily dram and a solid Spirit for cocktails — and that’s a good thing. But they do not skimp. The 43% ABV will tell you that. In fact, it received a rating of 95 points from Tasting Panel magazine.
Appearance / Color
Medium Amber
Nose / Aroma / Smell
Upon first pour, the aroma is thick with caramels and medjool, opening up to notes of toasted oak as the Whiskey breathes.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
You will find classic Bourbon flavors of vanilla and sweet toffee at first, followed by butterscotch and a whiff of smokiness.
Finish
The finish is medium-length, warm, and peppery.
The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavors that you'll taste in Lexington Bourbon and gives you a chance to have a taste of it before actually tasting it.
We invented Flavor Spiral™ here at Flaviar to get all your senses involved in tasting drinks and, frankly, because we think that classic tasting notes are boring.
Pinhooking means purchasing and rearing a foal based on its pedigree and either selling it or turning it into a champ racing horse. The same idea is behind Pinhook Bourbon: they source young Whiskey to mature and blend it into a blue-ribbon sipping Bourbon.
Limestone Branch Distillery, which produces Yellowstone Bourbon, also makes Minor Case Bourbon and Bowling & Burch Gin.
