Product Details

The city of Lexington, Kentucky, was built on the banks of the town branch of Elkhorn Creek. Its waters provided power for early industry and limestone-filtered water for distilling. Being the first new distillery built in Lexington since prohibition, Town Branch Distillery is proud to revive the city's distilling tradition. Town Branch's Single Barrel Reserve Kentucky Single Malt Whiskey is a cask strength, single cask expression of their flagship malt that is hand-selected by the most distinguished of palates. It is produced with 100% malted barley (the same malt used in their KY Bourbon Barrel Ale). It offers a sweet cereal nose with molasses, vanilla, brown sugar, and nutmeg notes.

Town Branch is churning out Kentucky classics in Bourbon and Rye, but it is genuinely in their Single Malt that they stand alone in the state. Using the malted barley found in my favorite of their beer releases, they have used pot still traditions to develop a mouth-watering flavor profile. In this 103.8-proof single barrel reserve Kentucky single malt, your experience will start with a nose that brings cereal, candied apples, and cinnamon. As you enjoy this pour, you'll find a clearly defined malt matched with molasses, vanilla cake, and a delightful nuttiness matched with florals. The finish lingers with a warm malt, cloves, and vanilla. If you already enjoy single malts, this release will quickly become a new favorite—and if you're just starting to explore the world of single malts (especially those produced in the U.S.), this will be a perfect way to discover this category.

About the Producer

Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co.

The first era of the Lexington Brewing Co. began in the 1890s and came to a halt during Prohibition, changing ownership several times in the decades that followed. By the time Pearse Lyons and his son, Mark, explored the brewery in 1999, it was a dilapidated shell of what it had once been. However, Pearse was a visionary and entrepreneur and saw only what it could be. Spurred by a passion for brewing and distilling that course through the Lyons family lineage of Irish coopers, Pearse revived Lexington Brewing Co. and restored a craft beer tradition that dates to the 1700s.   

Pearse continued to dream big as he set his sights on distilling — a natural progression given his background in fermentation, his family’s heritage, and Kentucky’s bourbon tradition. Two copper pot stills that were commissioned from Scotland arrived at Lexington Brewing Co. in 2008. As autumn began to settle in late September 2012, the ribbon was cut on Town Branch Distillery, located across from Lexington Brewing Co., and the doors opened on the first new distillery to be built in Lexington, Kentucky, in more than 100 years. Those gleaming copper pot stills now stand in celebration of timeless traditions and bold imaginations.
