Staghorn spirits company, owner of Garrard County Distilling Co. is relaunching the distillery’s entire whiskey line up, beginning with the unveiling of its new flagship whiskey: All Nations Kentucky Straight Bourbon. The bourbon is a 5 to 7-year-old blend and available for $39.99 SRP.
All Nations Kentucky Straight Bourbon showcases the artistry of Garrard County Distilling Co.’s panel of four award-winning whiskey experts behind the selection and blending of each barrel, as well as the crafting of the more than 32,000 barrels of new make already in the company’s Lancaster, Kentucky rickhouses.
Instead of a single master distiller deciding how the bourbon should be crafted, All Nations engages a panel with decades of experience at such distillers as Jim Beam, Barton, MGP and Bluegrass to create its whiskey. This democratic approach to whiskey making ensures there is something for everyone to experience and enjoy in All Nations’ harmonious blends.
The hallmark of All Nations whiskeys is a perfect balance of rich sweetness and complex spice that was achieved by each member of the panel recalling a particular whiskey they enjoyed and recounting what made it so special. This led the group to call All Nations a “community whiskey” that brings folks together to share remarkable stories.
With Garrard County Distilling Co. coming online in January of 2024, the whiskey for All Nations Kentucky Straight Bourbon was crafted with existing stocks from distilleries across the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. With these distilleries collectively separated by nearly 200 miles, this whiskey is a true representation of the great Commonwealth. The mash bills are: 75 per cent corn, 12 per cent rye, 13 per cent malted barley; 70 per cent corn, 21 per cent rye, 9 per cent malted barley; and 64 per cent corn, 24 per cent rye, 12 per cent malted barley, respectively.
The whiskey was aged in #4 alligator char barrels in Clermont, Danville, Owensboro, and Boston, KY before arriving for a final aging at Garrard County Distilling Co. in Lancaster, KY. All Nations is blended onsite using water sourced from the limestone-rich Lancaster Public Spring aquifer, first tapped by settlers in 1776.
At 96 Proof, All Nations Kentucky Straight Bourbon is perfect in a classic cocktail or savored neat.
All Nations Kentucky Straight Bourbon is now available in Georgia (United Distributors), Kentucky (Kentucky Eagle) and Tennessee (Lipman Brothers), as well as online at www.garrardcountydistillingco.com. All Nations Small Batch Bourbon and Single Barrel Bourbon will be relaunched in the coming months.
