Pursuit Spirits, which recently unveiled plans for a new immersive visitor experience along Louisville’s iconic Whiskey Row, announced the release batch 8CD featuring new editions of its popular Pursuit United Bourbon, Pursuit United Rye, and Pursuit United Oak Collection Bourbon and Rye.

Coming off their double gold medal wins and being a best in class finalist at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, this limited batch incorporates a higher proportion of 6-year-old whiskey hand-selected from Pursuit’s extensive 4000 barrel inventory. The bourbon and rye whiskies are distilled in collaboration by their world-class partners at Bardstown Bourbon Company, Finger Lakes Distilling, Sagamore Spirits, and a TN distilling partner. By collaborating with select distilleries, Pursuit Spirits gains exclusive access to craft mashbills and barrel types tailored to their specifications. This bespoke approach enables them to establish the building blocks of unique, imaginative whiskeys. 

“We are continuously experimenting with our proprietary blend using varying ages and warehouse locations to produce the ideal balance of flavors in Pursuit United,” said Master Blender Ryan Cecil.

The Pursuit United Oak Collection brings InnerStave and Independent Stave Company together as their strategic oak partners. “These bourbon and rye whiskies showcase our expert blending of custom oak stave finishes like seared toasted American oak, toasted French oak, and ex-sherry French oak,” said Co-Founder Kenny Coleman. “This proprietary stave profiling allows us to impart unique characteristics you won’t find anywhere else.”
