Blade & Bow Bourbon Whiskey by Stitzel-Weller Distilling Company
Blade & Bow Bourbon is a polished, accessible bourbon that channels the mystique of Stitzel-Weller heritage through a unique solera-based blend. With layers of orchard fruit, honeyed grain, and warm spice, it’s a smooth, easy-drinking Kentucky bourbon—particularly suited for those intrigued by legacy branding and mellow sipping experiences.
🧪 Origins & Solera Blend
-
Produced by Diageo using a solera aging procedure at the historic Stitzel-Weller distillery in Louisville. The system blends bourbons from multiple sources—some claim the liquid includes remnants of the original Stitzel-Weller aged stocks from before its 1992 closure. Each bottling retains a small amount of that historic whiskey, though the actual proportion remains undisclosed.
-
It is non-age‑stated and bottled at 90–91 proof (~45% ABV), marked with understated packaging and collectible “keys” nodding to Stitzel-Weller’s five-step whiskey legacy.
👃 Nose (Aroma)
-
Light and approachable, offering soft aromas of peach, honey, hay, and vanilla, layered over gentle oak. Additional impressions include dried apricot and ripe pear, with faint floral or candy-sweet notes.
👅 Palate & Texture
-
On the palate, expect medium sweetness: sugar cookies, vanilla candle wax, cherry syrup, and toffee, undercut by mild white pepper, grain spice, and light oak. The texture is smooth and soft—easy-drinking but somewhat thin in weight.
🔁 Finish
-
The finish is short to moderate—sweet and gentle. Expect hints of cherry, powdered donut, vanilla cola, and oak residue, with minimal tannic grip or lingering character.
