A straight-forward, Straight Bourbon with a classic flavor profile.
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.

About the Flavor Spiral
What does Lexington Bourbon taste like?
Back to flavor spiral
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.

Lexington Bourbon

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.
Bourbon only needs to be placed in a new oak container for a few seconds to be called Bourbon. Fresh from the still and unaged Bourbon is called a White Dog. Recently, many of the larger distillers have started packaging this harsh, clear grain spirit for sale.
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.
Bourbon matures quicker than Scotch due to higher temperatures in American warehouses.
Limestone Branch Distillery, which produces Yellowstone Bourbon, also makes Minor Case Bourbon and Bowling & Burch Gin.
