Blade & Bow Straight Bourbon

The Blade & Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a smooth, approachable 91-proof bourbon aged in new charred American oak and finished via a rare solera-aging process that blends in some of the last whiskey distilled at the iconic Stitzel‑Weller Distillery in Louisville. Named after the two parts of a skeleton key (blade and bow), the bottle features one of five collectible keys—each symbolizing a core step in bourbon-making—and loyalty key holders can join the elite Five Keys Club. Tasting notes include fresh fruit, dried apricot, ripe pear, and sweet roasted grain on the palate, finishing with charred oak and warm spices  . While designed as an homage to Stitzel‑Weller heritage, community reviews describe it as a “pleasant everyday sipper”—balanced yet unpretentious—with many noting that the packaging and concept sometimes outshine the actual spirit inside.
