Willett Distillery Old Bardstown Black Label 90 Proof Bourbon Whiskey (700ml)

The old "Black Label" returns! Whether it will be here to stay is another question, as for the last few years we've only been able to source the cream coloured version. It's more than likely they're exactly the same whiskey. Old Bardstown is named after a 1950s race horse and celebrates the spirit of the American Thoroughbred, which is featured prominently on the label. Bottled at 90 Proof this is a softer style Kentuckian, ideal for the casual Bourbon drinker. 45% Alc./Vol.

Located just on the outskirts of Bardstown is 'Kentucky Bourbon Distillers' (aka Willett) is the company behind this famous brand, amongst others. The distillery was originally built by the Willett family who brought their distilling knowledge with them from England to the American Colonies in the early 1600's. The company continued to operate until the early 1980s when the Willett’s realised they'd made their mark on the Bourbon industry and it was now time for them to retire. On July 1, 1984, Even G. Kulsveen (pronounced Evan), a native of Hamar, Norway, and son-in-law to Thompson Willett, purchased the property from the Willett’s and formed 'Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, Ltd'.
