Lux Row Distillers extends Daviess County Bourbon brand family

Kentucky-based Lux Row Distillers has announced the newest member of the Daviess County Bourbon brand family, named Daviess County Lightly Toasted. It is the product of getting 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 US later this month at a suggested retail price of 49.99 USD 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 with 49 percent ABV. The lightly toasted barrel finish gives this limited-edition release its own unique flavour profile, while giving consumers additional options within the Daviess County family.

“I am proud to honour 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 flavours of sweet caramel with notes of vanilla and coconut on the palate. This unique flavour profile is certain to become a fast favourite among fans of the brand,” he added further.

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.
