Mr, Oct 13, 2020

Top 3 pick for me. Great flavor, very smooth, little to no burn.

James, Sep 18, 2020

Love the bottle & key! Lol. Smooth bourbon - price point might be a touch high but nice sipping beverage

Erik, Sep 8, 2020

All around solid whiskey for the money, carmel, corn, light fruit notes and oak. Usually what I pour for someone when introducing them to bourbon that they're not mixing with coke.

Linda, Sep 5, 2020

Very smooth with definite caramel coming through. This was recommended by a small store owner as one of his favorite. Definitely agree.

Ron, Aug 30, 2020

Very good neat, good flavor profile and nose, I recommend

David, Aug 27, 2020

Very good bottle. Key is a nice added touch, decided to hang it on my infinity decanter.

Shaeli, Aug 16, 2020

Super smooth, easy sipper! Caramel comes through nicely, very little vapor burn.

Keenan, Aug 13, 2020

Daily Drinker

Judy, Aug 7, 2020

smooth, fantastic, next level home bourbon

Tony, Jul 28, 2020

Fruity, sweetness on the nose! I like the mouth feel it was smooth and easy to drink. I tasted cherries, caramel and spice.

Mark, Jul 26, 2020

When I was in Bardstown KY to tour distilleries, I had a flight of 5 near-top-shelf bourbons at a local restaurant, and Blade & Bow was my favorite. When I opened my first bottle at home, I was disappointed, as it seemed thin and bland. After the neck pour and some air, though, it came alive, with a lot of caramel and spice. Then I preferred it in a blind tasting with Russell's Reserve 10-year and Heaven's Door, both of which I like a lot, so it does show well in comparisons.

Chris, Jul 15, 2020

Just not that good, especially at that price point.

Michael, Jul 14, 2020

Made it to my personal top ten (ready buyable) alongside Eagle Rare, Angels Envy, EHT, Blantons and others. Nice flavor

Daniel, Jul 6, 2020

Superb flavor

Shawn, Jun 30, 2020

Nice caramel nose with a hint of fruit on the nose. Smooth on the tongue with notes of yumminess! Mature finish that left you reaching for the bottle for another pour.

Tom, Jun 27, 2020

Great Bourbon.

Stephen, Jun 16, 2020

nose of ripe banana with a cool finish in the mouth that was really delicious. Came in first by a hair in my blind tasting (heavens door, woodenville, blade and bow, michter's)

guest, May 29, 2020

Top pick in a blind bourbon tasting (8 varieties). Vanilla and caramel notes on the nose. Slightly sweet charred caramel body with a smooth slightly weak finish. Definitely, a must have for the home bar.

Robert, May 12, 2020

Decent, not spectacular.

Chris, May 10, 2020

It's like a poor man's Weller Special Reserve. Its complex and tasty. Will not disappoint unless your were nursed on Weller.

Michael, May 7, 2020

Very nice. Strong hints of vanilla and caramel with a spicy, sharp finish. Best over ice to cool off that sharpness at the end.

Erik, May 2, 2020

Ah the power of marketing, not a bad bottle of whiskey, but overpriced. They claim that due to the solera aging there is 23+ year old Stitzel-Weller whiskey in every bottle, but not even the ghost of William Larue Weller could tell you if that was true or not. A decent buy at $40~45, walk away otherwise.

Terrence, Apr 24, 2020

Very good bourbon stout not too strong great with Mexican cola.

Stephen, Apr 15, 2020

Not a fan. My bottle tasted musty and had a off putting finish. I am using the remainder for cooking, not for consumption.

William, Apr 14, 2020

beautiful smooth refined flavour

Dan, Apr 4, 2020

Fire hot but add ice and it is delicious

Allen, Apr 2, 2020

Excellent Bourbon, smooth, little spice on the back end. Well worth the price.

Dan, Feb 27, 2020

Great tasting whiskey! SMOOTH... Also went well in a Mule

Peter, Feb 26, 2020

Fruity nose and strong finish. Loved this!

Blake, Feb 21, 2020

Nose: woody, approachable Taste: dry wood, bold flavor combinations with a smooth finish Finish: medium to long, dry, smooth finish

John, Feb 13, 2020

I really like this. My profile except I could handle a bit more booze kick.

Sean, Jan 25, 2020

Not quite as smooth as I hoped. Bit of an alcohol burn. And was looking for a little more sweetness to it.

guest, Jan 17, 2020

Delicious! It has a strong brown sugar and caramel nose with a great finish!

Brandon, Dec 30, 2019

This bourbon is a tease. It has the name and pedigree, which is what convinced me to give it a try. It's fine. It seems has a nice start, but a disappointing finish. It's smooth enough, but not exceedingly so; it has the hints of brown sugar, which is nice, but not much else; and a nice kiss of oak. It will not disappoint anyone, but for something that leans on the Weller name, it's just not remarkable enough to separate from the pack.

Chip, Dec 26, 2019

Smooth and great taste

Robert, Nov 14, 2019

An enjoyable bourbon, good though not spectacular.

Keith, Oct 19, 2019

Really smooth, with a sweet finish. One of my favorites.

Nick, Oct 10, 2019

Diageo had been sitting on the last bourbons distilled by Stitzel-Weller for years and finally decided to make something of the love and lore of the heritage distillery. Opting for the solera method of aging, likely to capitalize as much as possible on the Stitzel-Weller name, Diageo launched the Blade & Bow straight bourbon whiskey on Derby Day in 2015. I was drawn in as much by legend as by the beautiful bottle and dark, rich bourbon inside it, and never having tried a solera aged bourbon decided to pick up a bottle. The nose doesn't have the caramel or vanilla that I prefer in bourbon, but it has light and airy notes of toasted oak, peaches, and chocolate, and is enjoyable all the same. The mouthfeel is oily but not quite enough to be rich. The palate is sweet with earthy notes that I cannot place. Further sips bring apricot and a hint of baking spice. The finish is on the long side of medium and is warm with toasted bread and faint apple. I know enough to know this is good bourbon, but the flavor profile does not necessarily fit my taste. I am interested to see how some ice opens it up a bit and might make this something I use in a cocktail, but I don't see myself sipping it. Or spending another $50 when this bottle runs dry. There are better bourbons for the price.

Jason, Oct 2, 2019

Seeeter than I expected. Kinda nice. Take it neat or with a drop of water.

Jim, Sep 15, 2019

Great bourbon! Will stock up for the home bar.

Will, Aug 24, 2019

Love it a great Bourbon!!!

guest, Jul 7, 2019

Incredible bourbon. So smooth, perfectly aged with a balanced blending of oak. Medium finish. There is something incredible about this bourbon, but I lack the refinement to describe it in words. We bought four fifths. Get some!

Charles, Jun 25, 2019

Middle of the road bourbon. A bit pricey for what you get.

Christopher, Jun 20, 2019

Love this Bourbon. Great taste, smooth and delicious

Shannon, Jun 19, 2019

My go-to bourbon. Much better than more expensive options out there.

Brandon, Jun 18, 2019

It was fine. I was expecting more from the pedigree. It's definitely solid, but there is plenty out there that is more enjoyable for the price.

Ken, May 18, 2019

Absolutely outstanding! Couldn't stop drinking it, it just gets better with every pour. Smooth, sweet caramel, not too sweet, just delicious. Went back to the ABC store and bought it all!

Cody, May 11, 2019

Too spicy

Matthew, May 10, 2019

This is my current go to bourbon. I like drink it on the rocks. It has a good smooth finish with flavors of cinnamon and caramel.

Joshua, Apr 18, 2019

Really good bourbon, high priced feel for not that high of a price. I prefer a higher proof, and this one at 91 proof delivers. it has a bite to it in the beginning, but goes down smooth. I will be seeking this one out again, it doesn't break the bank, but it tastes as tho you paid for the high end. I do not believe you can go wrong with Stitzel Weller.

Debrenee, Mar 20, 2019

I had to revise my ranking. I’ve tried it multiple times, but it’s not the quality you’d expect out of a $50+ bottle. I feel most of the taste is drawn from a strong presence of alcohol, something that is absent or at least well hidden in others at this price point. Regrettably, one of my worst purchases. Don’t trust the hype!

guest, Mar 10, 2019

Very smooth bourbon. Definitely my new favorite and I will be recommending it to my friends and family.

Andrew, Mar 4, 2019

My newest favorite bourbon.

Colton, Feb 28, 2019

Almost prefect

George, Jan 20, 2019

Has the familiar smell of Weller but a distinctly different taste. It is complex and smooth, has a nice finish. Does not fall at the top of my favorites but a quality bourbon for sure.

Phil, Jan 16, 2019

Very good and smooth

Rodney, Jan 12, 2019

Caramel, butterscotch Blade and Bow bourbon is a good bourbon. It’s not an exciting bourbon, but it is a good bourbon.

Jared, Jan 10, 2019

Good upfront taste, sweeter, with a smooth finish.

Trey, Jan 5, 2019

Big burst of up front spiciness that gives way to complex fruit and caramel notes. Long finish with an almost coffee? Note

Jessica, Jan 2, 2019

Smooth, flavorful, a favorite! Be sure to collect the keys on the bottles. We have all but #3!

Nick, Dec 25, 2018

Smooth, light, and just the right amount of sweetness. My favorite bourbon so far.

Shaun, Dec 8, 2018

Little hot on the finish but overall tasty.

Lisa, Dec 7, 2018

Loved this smooth bourbon! Will definitely be one of my new faves

Ellen, Nov 28, 2018

Deliciously rich and flavorful. The unique blending certainly sets this apart.

guest, Nov 26, 2018

This is a favorite.

Thomas, Nov 23, 2018

Very good. Smooth, flavorful.

Phil, Nov 22, 2018

It is real good. But I wish I could buy more of it.

Rob, Nov 16, 2018

smooth and very drinking . A good bottle for anybody's collection.

David, Nov 5, 2018

It has a good aroma and very easy on the tongue. I did think the finish was a bit flat.

Phil, Oct 11, 2018

Very good.

Tristan, Oct 3, 2018

Amazing and easy to approach nose. Smooth with caramel and orange blossom notes. Finishes incredibly easy.

Steven, Sep 21, 2018

A good bourbon, and I appreciate the presentation of it. It's nothing to write home about, and I'd compare it to the taste profile of a Maker's 46. I don't think I'll actively seek it out in the future.

Tammy, Sep 13, 2018

Very nice leaves a touch on the tongue smooth sipping bourbon

Alex, Sep 8, 2018

One of my favorites, Has an incredible aroma & taste to match. The spiciness is there, so is the caramel & such. Packs enough punch without being overpowering. Bourbon fanatics & beginners alike can drink neat & enjoy. Never a bad choice and one of the best,

Steve, Sep 3, 2018

Apples. I taste apples every sip.

Larry, Aug 31, 2018

Incredibly smooth. Very enjoyable as a sipper. Top 2 for me.

Trey, Aug 22, 2018

Smooth, but not too sweet. Solid, but not surprising, flavor.

David, Jul 29, 2018

An inviting nose that takes you to a fruit forward, smooth drink. The finish reminds you you're drinking bourbon and it's good.

Donald, Jul 11, 2018

Had a nice taste but was harsh on the finish. many better choices in this price range.

Justin, Jul 7, 2018

Smooth clean finish. A delicious pick especially for the price

Richard, Jul 6, 2018

One of my top three. Smooth and easy.

Nathan, Jul 4, 2018

Bar none, the best Bourbon I have ever tasted! Very vanilla forward.

Patrick, Jun 21, 2018

Smooth finish

chris, Jun 20, 2018

Very nice: smooth with a clean finish. Definitely not a bourbon with heat. A nice mellow sipper

Mike, Jun 13, 2018

Great nose on this pour. Smooth pour. Not sure if I buy the story but it’s a good one

Charles, Jun 13, 2018

Nice, light drinker in the summer. It’s good but not great. Nice presentation but the price is a bit hefty for what you get.

Scott, Jun 7, 2018

The bourbon lives up to the great label & bottle haha (there is a key attached to the bottle). Tastes great neat. Smooth & balanced. Highly recommend.

Richard, Jun 3, 2018

Smooth with pleasant soft aromas, one to keep on my self

guest, May 30, 2018

Awesome taste complexity and flavor.

Randy, May 26, 2018

This is a smooth and easy, definitely would like this one on my shelf.

Terry, May 24, 2018

Very good taste, easy to drink, and love the bottle.

george, May 23, 2018

very nice taste - different than the rest of my stash, good even with distilled water...

Danton, May 22, 2018

Too harsh for my taste, as a novice I’d say if you’re a Beam fan than this might be up your ally.

Mitchell, May 22, 2018

Not bad tasting, just not my favorite flavor. Love the history of the distillery.

Randy, May 19, 2018

Superb. While the Stitzel-Weller labeling is a stretch nevertheless this is a very tasty bottle. Smooth and luscious with a long finish it has been a joy. Will purchase again.

Timothy, May 16, 2018

Love it. It’s engineered and backed by big money - but don’t let that make you a hater. Just because it’s pretty doesn’t mean it’s not tasty.

seth, May 8, 2018

Good smooth bourbon reminds me why I fell in love with bourbon in the first place

Stephan, Apr 19, 2018

excellent Bourbon. One of my 'must haves'.

Troy, Apr 14, 2018

Unremarkable. With the deep charamel color, I expected more oak and complexity; it was akin to a good red wine that’s lost it’s fruit.

Stephan, Apr 19, 2018

Troy, you didn't like the Blade&Bow. What're your better ones at home?

Jeff, Apr 12, 2018

One of the smoothest drinking bourbons I've tasted. Drink this straight. It's a shame to add even ice.

guest, Apr 11, 2018

Super easy drinker. Incredibly tasty and complex for the price.

Ron, Apr 10, 2018

Easy to drink. Hints of fruity sweetness. Finish is moderate with a mild spicy build.

Jon, Apr 8, 2018

Excellent bourbon, reasonably priced and easy drinking.

John, Apr 2, 2018

It was great, I have had number 1 and number 5

Jeff, Apr 2, 2018

This is decent bourbon. Dropping the rating down because of the nonsense that this bourbon has anything to do with the Stitzel-Weller Distillery. That's a marketing ploy.

Calvin, Apr 1, 2018

Great bourbon, smooth, flavorful, and balnaced. On the rocks with great conversation and the bottle will evaporate.

Nichole, Mar 28, 2018

Another one of my favorites. Very smooth. Great flavors. Neat or on the rocks. You can't go wrong

Theresa, Mar 25, 2018

One of my favorites straight up or as hot buttered bourbon.

Paul, Mar 16, 2018

I'm a fan; it's pretty much fruity/sweet (apple, apricot) from start to it's short finish, smooth, not much bite or complexity, just a little bit of spice; making it an easy to drink, sweet bourbon.

Brian, Mar 10, 2018

This is good stuff. One of my favorite daily drinkers. I put it up there with ETL and Weller 12 and Blanton’s Gold.

John, Mar 5, 2018

Rough edged and not at all what I expected

Lee, Feb 27, 2018

It was very smooth with a medium mouth feel

Richard, Feb 25, 2018

Smooth and sweet with a nice spice. Definitely will buy again.

Ken, Feb 24, 2018

Excellent choice for a bourbon with smo0th character to sip neat in front of the fireplace.

Ken, Feb 24, 2018

Smooth drinking bourbon. Nice fruit and caramel with a hint of spice. I highly recommend this.

Matt, Feb 24, 2018

Outstanding!

John, Feb 21, 2018

Extremely smooth, subtly sweet and rich. Excellent bourbon on the rocks

Robert, Feb 17, 2018

Surprisingly great notes at the start with a creamy and flavorful finish. A very good buy for the price!

Joel, Feb 11, 2018

Unbelievably smooth! Quickly risen to the top of my favorites

Tom, Feb 10, 2018

One of the smoothest tasted in my collection of 30+ bottles. For the price it can’t be beat.

Thomas, Feb 10, 2018

Blade and Bow does have a slight burn in the mouth, but it does go down smooth. As you go for your second and third drink you will start to notice the abundance of flavors. Was an amazing accompaniment to some rosemary olive oil almonds and cheese! Will buy again before it's all gone!

Roger, Feb 10, 2018

What a great bourbon. Hands down has become one of my favorites. Smooth enough straight, and even smoother with an ice cube.

Todd, Feb 9, 2018

An excellent & smooth Bourbon. I will look forward to purchasing it again.

Brandon, Feb 8, 2018

Burn on the tongue, not throat, which is different, but enjoyable. Definitely nice fruit and caramel flavor. Would buy again for sure!

Shannon, Feb 7, 2018

I honestly didn't appreciate it until I ate a few cashews with this. It really brought out the flavors for me with a huge apricot flavor.

Jonathan, Jan 26, 2018

Excellent Bourbon, will buy again. Also good price point.

Brent, Jan 24, 2018

One of my favorites.

Tom, Jan 19, 2018

Incredible bourbon with a great finish and very smooth.

HERB, Jan 13, 2018

A really smooth bourbon easy dtinking perfect!

Mr, Dec 20, 2017

Very good. I love the spicy bite it has. I will be getting more.

Nick, Dec 20, 2017

Very fine bourbon at this price point. Will buy again.

Jeremy, Dec 16, 2017

Fantastic Bourbon! Super smooth and subtly sweet.

Jimmy, Dec 11, 2017

The Flavor profile and smoothness is very surprising at this price point!

John, Dec 10, 2017

Very nice flavor. I would buy again.

Dave, Dec 10, 2017

This was an OK purchase, doesn’t have the complexity or the smoothness of others and has a bit more of a “hot” taste than I prefer

Jonathan, Dec 8, 2017

Overall very good. To echo other reviews, it has a great smell and flavor. Would buy again.

Douglas, Nov 30, 2017

Interestingly, I've had two bottles of this. The first was amazing, the second was really rough. I'm concerned with the consistency.

Alan, Nov 5, 2017

Absolutely fantastic bourbon. By far one of my favorites! Extremely smooth, very satisfying.

Boone, Nov 3, 2017

Nice smokey flavor!

Rich, Oct 27, 2017

Not only does it taste great, it smells great. More aromatic than any other bourbon I’ve had before.

John, Oct 27, 2017

Very smooth with a fine flavor

Marlon, Oct 22, 2017

Yet another nicety and superb craftsmanship from the Stitzel-Weller Distillery.

Marilyn, Oct 11, 2017

The bottle is sculpture, and the key lets you in. I love it! It does have bite, but it's very rich and has a hint of sweetness. A dropper of distilled water and it opens. I will order again.

Michael, Oct 11, 2017

Not as smooth as I was led to believe, but pleasant. Definitely needs to breathe a little, but pour some in a glass for a few minutes and it really opens up.

Steven, Oct 6, 2017

Loved it; smooth to the nose, pallet, tongue and tummy.

John, Sep 21, 2017

pleasant aroma's when sniffed, legs on the glass when swirled, deep red color show the age and quality. goes down smooth, nice full flavor which lasts even when ice melts, and has a long finish that is spicy and cinnamon like.

Elliot, Sep 15, 2017

Great bodied bourbon. Doesn't disappoint and lives up to the Stitzel name.

Rick, Sep 7, 2017

A little harsh.

ronald, Aug 27, 2017

Loved it, Solid Bourdon flavor

Luke, Aug 6, 2017

Full flavor. Love the first taste of fruit. Great caramel aftertaste.

Lane, Jul 31, 2017

Not as smooth as other reviewers lead on. Wonderful taste and mixes well.

Emmet, Jul 25, 2017

This is a solid bourbon at this price Nice layers of rich flavors You can taste a reasonable amount of age. Worth adding to any serious bourbon collection.

Gale, Jul 17, 2017

Not what I expected. Smooth but not very bold. I guess it's priced in line with some others I'd put in this category. Just not for me.

Leonard, Jul 13, 2017

I loved it. Very smooth. On my list of favorites.

Jeff, Jul 11, 2017

Fantastic bourbon! Definitely not disappointed. Worth every penny!

Ryan, Jun 30, 2017

VERY smooth. Excellent description of flavor. Good for a nice night in.

Brian, Jun 25, 2017

How Profoundly Disappointing! Especially at it's higher price point. I Really WANTED to like this, but I've tasted far more flavorful, full bodied and carefully crafted bourbons for one third the price! It tastes like mega conglomerate Diagio, Trying to Live Off the Legend of Stitzel-Weller, thought they might be able to pull a fast one. The Nose does create a very anticipatory feeling with a well oaked, fruit, cinnamon and spiced aroma that usually introduces the older and well crafted bourbons from S-W, but unfortunately that's where it ends. The mouthfeel is thin and the palate begins weak remaining such all the way through. Suprisingly light bodied...and not in a good way. There is some Vanilla and Carmel sweetness at the start followed with pepper, cinnamon spice and tartness beneath, but the flavors never really develop into much and just fall flat into a disappointingly, light and short finish. It's not terrible, but I had expected so much more character and robust flavors from all the hype. It's might be acceptable for an old fashioned or maybe a mint julep if I weren't concerned it would be overwhelmed in those cocktails. How truly sad.

Troy, Jun 21, 2017

Nice and smooth

Eric, Jun 8, 2017

Excellent taste and very smooth. Will definitely be getting more!

William, Jun 7, 2017

If you don't like Blade and Bow, you probably don't like puppy dogs or Jesus either. Very smooth. Quite tasty. Buy some. You won't be disappointed.

Erik, Jun 2, 2017

I received my first bottle as a gift and fell in love. Seeing it available again on Flaviar just made my day.

guest, May 27, 2017

Exceptionally smooth

Samuel, May 27, 2017

Just meh. Particularly bad finish. Look elsewhere

Rob, May 21, 2017

Very pleasant nose. Pretty spicy. Nice little punch.

Tom, Apr 16, 2017

I enjoyed this one neat. It's pretty smooth. Taste ran a little flat for me, but the aroma is nice.

Corey, Apr 14, 2017

Blade and Bow was amazing. Lots of caramel and vanilla notes and a clean finish. The only bad part was that I had to wait a little more than a month to get it once my order was placed. I would buy it again however if I didn't have to wait so long to get it.

Charles, Apr 6, 2017

Smooth

Finley, Apr 4, 2017

Right from the first sip, I knew I had to get more of this. ( More bottles that is) I believe this is better than the Weller 12 yr. I feel it's alot better but I know everyone's taste buds are different. I prefer scotch over bourbon, but this is one I could drink regularly. I like the wheated Bourbons as they are slightly sweeter. ( Makers Mark and Weller and of course Pappy) I'm not very good at putting flavor profiles together, but this has a sweet almost bananna like aroma. I would say to anyone that loves bourbon or scotch, you must have a bottle of this in your collection. Get it now, because just like Weller (and of course Pappy) once the secret is out, this will be impossible to get as well!!!!

Matthew, Apr 4, 2017

Nice spicy caramel on the finish. Instantly a favorite.

troy, Apr 4, 2017

This bourbon has good flavor, and complexity. I like the collector side of it also! I went out and attained all 5 key bottles! It is so yummy though I might end up sipping them all!

guest, Apr 1, 2017

Love this bourbon! The 22yo is even better!

guest, Feb 23, 2017

I love Blade and Bow I just can't buy it here in Phoenix, AZ.

Joseph, Feb 10, 2017

It is different but I like it It makes a good sipper for me and I like that. I will buy more if available Woody Neese

Shawn, Feb 8, 2017

Excellent all around!

Jeff, Jan 24, 2017

It was good, but the key does nothing.

Brian, Jan 23, 2017

Strong, but smooth

Clinton, Jan 22, 2017

Very good tasting but it lacks that 'bite' that would be the wow facto

Mr, Jan 20, 2017

Comparable to Blantons, clean finish

guest, Jan 3, 2017

One of the best in a while. Very smooth with an authentic flavor .

Nik, Dec 29, 2016

Great bourbon. Love the rich flavor and subtle fruit notes.

Jay, Dec 26, 2016

Great smooth

Eric, Dec 13, 2016

Very balanced, nice even fire on the finish

Merrick, Dec 10, 2016

Great stuff! Good neat or on ice

Billy, Dec 8, 2016

Smooth. Great sipping bourbon

Eric, Dec 7, 2016

Hot and nice flavor

Luke, Dec 6, 2016

Very smooth.

Eric, Dec 4, 2016

A smooth whiskey with a hint of malty sweetness. Absolutely delicious.

John, Dec 1, 2016

Am a Rum drinker by preference. Never cared much for bourbons. Ordered this based on the reviews and to have something to share with my friends that are. WOW is all I can say, this will be a staple in my home until they run out!

Mr., Nov 28, 2016

My favorite bourbon... other than Van Winkle 12 yr Special Reserve. But it feels good to find a great bourbon without a big price tag that is well worth the money! Bought two bottles on a trip to Louisville, wish I would have bought a years supply. It will be a sad day when Flaviar doesn't carry this bourbon.

Jackson, Nov 27, 2016

Smooth and sweet, not much complexity. I don't buy into the marketing hype

Chad, Nov 14, 2016

Delightfully strong upfront with subtle tones of Carmel and vanilla and a smooth finish very happy with it!

Eric, Nov 12, 2016

The stuff of legend.

Julius, Nov 12, 2016

Really premium. Amazing for the price point as well. How bourbon was mean to be made.

Jason, Nov 4, 2016

So smooth and light with great flavor. One of my favorite bourbons!

guest, Oct 18, 2016

Really enjoy it. I live in Louisville, KY and brought a bottle of Blade and Bow with me on vacation. It''s very nice, opens up nicely with a splash of water. Good price, too, as shelf price in Louisville is about $55, although Total Wines & Spirits has it for a few $$$ less. Many local people have relatives who worked at Stitzel Weller. I'm going to pick up several more bottles as soon as I get home. Get it while you can!
