Daviess County Cabernet Sauvignon Finish Bourbon

750 mL | 96 Proof (48% ABV) | Finished Kentucky Straight Bourbon | Lux Row Distillers, Bardstown, KY | Finished 6 Months in Cabernet Sauvignon Casks

Process & Profile

This expression from Daviess County Bourbon begins with a unique blend of two bourbon mash bills—one wheated for a softer, smoother profile and one ryed for added spice and structure. After traditional aging in new charred oak barrels, the bourbon is finished for six months in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon casks, adding layers of dark fruit and refined tannins.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Ripe red berries, vanilla, caramel, and a touch of toasted oak.

• Palate: Blackberry, dark cherry, and plum with underlying notes of toffee, baking spice, and wine-soaked wood.

• Finish: Long and smooth, with Cabernet-driven fruit, subtle spice, and gentle oak tannin.
