Nose: Graham crackers, vanilla, and salted caramel greet you as you approach, suggesting that this is a true Kentucky Bourbon. These early notes give way to undertones of cedar and oak foreshadowing that this bourbon has come of age.

Palate: The hints of ­flavor and complexity created upon nosing are reinforced on the palate. Flavors of brown sugar, vanilla, and a dash of oak are balanced and revealed in smooth, cascading layers that only time and great liquid can deliver.

Finish: Long, smooth and lingering, the finish extends the joy of this pour, delivering a classic “Kentucky hug.” Oak, baking spices, with a touch of sweetness are reminders that this is a traditional straight Kentucky bourbon that deserves further exploration.

“Kentucky’s Old Route 8 is a beautiful stretch of road that runs along the Ohio River, connecting historic river towns to larger cities and ports. It marks the original east-west route that first brought a new brand of whiskey into the country’s interior and inspired a culture that still thrives today.”
