Lux Row Distillers launch Daviess County Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Lightly Toasted American Oak Barrels

New, limited-edition bourbon is first in a series of annually offered toasted-barrel finishes for the Daviess County Bourbon brand family

ST.LOUIS (August 1, 2022) – Lux Row Distillers announced the newest member of the Daviess County Bourbon brand family: Daviess County Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Lightly Toasted American Oak Barrels. A limited allocation of 3,000 six-pack cases of Daviess County Lightly Toasted will reach retail shelves across the country later this month at a suggested retail price of $49.99 per bottle.

Daviess County Lightly Toasted features its namesake brand family’s signature combination of ryed and wheated bourbon mashbills, which is aged four-plus years in charred-oak barrels and comes in at 96 proof (48% ABV). The lightly toasted barrel finish is what gives this limited-edition release its own unique flavor profile, while giving consumers additional options within the Daviess County family.

“I’m proud to honor the rich history and tradition started in 1874 by the Daviess County Distilling Co. with this latest expression of our Daviess County Kentucky Straight Bourbon,” said Lux Row Distillers master distiller John Rempe. “Finishing our traditional Daviess County bourbon in lightly toasted American oak barrels imparts aromas of caramel, vanilla and hints of oak on the nose, while delivering flavors of sweet caramel with notes of vanilla and coconut on the palate. This unique flavor profile is certain to become a fast favorite among fans of the brand”

Daviess County Lightly Toasted is the first in a series of annually offered toasted-barrel finishes for the Daviess County brand family, which also includes perennial variants Daviess County Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Daviess County Cabernet Sauvignon Finish and Daviess County French Oak Finish.

Adelphi Tasting – 6:30pm – Milroys Soho. 31-08-22

Our Adelphi tasting event takes place at the tail end of Summer, it’s the perfect event for those new and experienced whisky fans to discover the range and quality that Adelphi are renowned for in the whisky industry.

The company was founded by Donald Houston and Keith Falconer, based in Charlestown Fife, named after a distillery that closed in 1902 called Adelphi

The company has now built its very own distillery on the estate called Ardnamurchan established in 2014.

The distillery is named after the estate, with a capacity of 450.000 litres per year, this is now seen as a small outturn but more importantly allows them to concentrate on the best possible distillate from the stills.

Alongside distilling they also bottle from across Scotland, with some outstanding single cask single malts that are taste forward and non-chill filtered, this will give you natural colours from the casks.

Tonight’s event is about discovering what taste will suit you! We all enjoy a whisky that gives us a familiar taste we naturally gravitate towards, lets see if you are missing out on something you might have overlooked in the past.

Tonight’s ambassador is Connal Mackenzie.

Dalmore 2008 13 Year Old Connoisseurs Choice TWS Exclusive

The initial impression is fruity…a whisper of shortcrust pastry. A soft texture and a sweet taste overall, with a surprisingly spicy savoury finish – Charles MacLean, Whiskeria Summer 2022.

From the world-acclaimed Connoisseurs Choice range comes this Dalmore single malt whisky, independently bottled by Gordon & MacPhail exclusively for The Whisky Shop. Distilled in 2008, this expression has spent 13 years in a refill bourbon barrel before being bottled in May 2022 at 57.2% abv without chill filtration or added colouring. Highly limited, just 256 bottles have been produced.

“A mellow nosefeel, with light prickle. The initial impression is fruity – fresh apple, pear in syrup, fruit salad, a suggestion of raspberry jam – beneath this is a whisper of shortcrust pastry. A soft texture and a sweet taste overall, with a surprisingly spicy savoury finish. Little change with a splash of water, the finish now slightly tart.” – Whiskeria, Summer 2022
