Bluegrass Distillers Elkwood 15-Year Single Barrel Bourbon bottle

Bluegrass Distillers announced the release of Elkwood 15-Year Single Barrel Bourbon. Part of the Elkwood Reserve line, this release honors Bluegrass’ historic Elkwood Farm Distillery in Midway, KY. 

Bottled at cask strength (113 proof) and hand-selected, this 15-year-old bourbon embodies the complex, rich flavors achieved through careful aging. Uncut, unfiltered, and 100% unique, Elkwood 15-Year offers an exclusive tasting experience.

“Our first Elkwood Reserve release two years ago showcased our oldest and most exclusive barrels, and we’re honored that Elkwood was named USA Spirits 2024 Small Batch Bourbon of the Year,” Ben Franzini, co-owner of the brand, said in a news release. 

“This Elkwood Reserve 15-Year single barrel is our oldest release to date and builds on our previous offerings with remarkable complexity. It’s a tribute to our historic Elkwood Farm, and the exceptional character that comes from the perfect blend of patience and premium craftsmanship.”

Due to its limited release, Elkwood 15-Year Single Barrel Bourbon is available online via Bourbon Outfitter and at Bluegrass Distillers’ tasting rooms in Midway and Lexington, KY. 

The suggested retail price is $225, with only 133 bottles of this 113-proof, 15-year bourbon offered in the initial release. Other Elkwood 15 Year Single Barrels can be purchased through the Bluegrass Distillers Single Barrel Program.
