Bardstown Bourbon Company Lochs of Jura Barrel Finish Blend of Straight Whiskies 750ml

Bardstown Bourbon Company Lochs of Jura Barrel Finish Blend of Straight Whiskies is a 104-proof (52% ABV), 750mL blend of straight bourbon and rye whiskies — aged 10 to 12 years before spending an additional 32 months finishing in Single Malt Scotch whisky casks from the remote Isle of Jura, Scotland (84% ex-bourbon, 16% ex-sherry) — available to order online at Bottle Broz

For Bardstown Bourbon Company's 2026 annual releases, Master Blender Dan Callaway started with a question: what character would these remarkable casks contribute over time? The answer is a bespoke American whiskey built on three pillars — 49% 11-year-old Indiana bourbon, 30% 10-year-old Indiana rye (95% rye mash), and 21% 12-year-old Kentucky bourbon — married together, then rested nearly three years in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry barrels that once held single malt Scotch whisky from Jura, an island of just 238 residents off Scotland's west coast. It is the "Lochs of Jura" concept: two whiskey worlds in one glass, a distinctly American foundation carrying a maritime, sherry-kissed Scotch influence.

Tasting notes (official and press consensus): an elegant nose of vanilla creme, blackberry compote, and fresh mint over toasted oak and cigar box; a silky palate of fresh spearmint, warm caramel, and light cinnamon spice; a long, beautifully complex finish where fruit-forward sherry notes round out the whiskey.
