THE BOTTLING

A bottle of 24 year Kentucky straight bourbon is exclusive in it's own right, however one with this background and history is even that much more special.  What began almost 2 years ago by our Head of Spirits Archeology to locate some mythical 24 year bourbon that was being stored in Europe has culminated in a spectacular bottling by C. Dully out of Switzerland, hand selected from samples, and bottled exclusively for The Bourbon Concierge.   This was bottled at cask strength, a surprisingly approachable 95.6 proof, 700ml size, and with one of the most gorgeous bottle designs we have seen on the market by C. Dully.  The bourbon inside the bottle is some of the most highly sought after distillate with extremely robust flavors, viscous mouthfeel, just the right amount of oak tannins, and a proof which allows you to sip for days.  Your bottle comes complete with a gorgeous Bourbon Concierge velvet bag which mimics the look of the Pappy Van Winkle 23 and 20 bottles however at a much higher quality.

THE HISTORY

This particular bourbon was distilled in 1994, a couple years before an unfortunate event eliminated almost 100,000 barrels of whiskey from the distillery (NDA states we cannot name it).  It was aged for 12 years in Kentucky, before the barrels were then transported overseas where it aged for an additional 12 years and was ultimately poured into stainless steel vats to prevent further barrel aging.  For the last couple years a few independent bottlers have been buying up supply making it increasingly difficult to get and as of early 2022, all of the supply has been depleted, making this particular bottling one of the last of its kind, never to be produced again.
