Town Branch Maple Barrel Stout Finished Limited Release Bourbon

750 mL | 100 Proof (50% ABV) | Finished Kentucky Straight Bourbon | Town Branch Distillery, Lexington, KY | Finished in Maple Barrel Stout Beer Casks

Process & Profile

This limited-release expression from Town Branch begins as a classic Kentucky straight bourbon, made from a traditional corn, rye, and malted barley mash bill. After primary aging in new American oak barrels, the spirit undergoes a secondary finishing period in barrels previously used to age the distillery’s own rich, malty Maple Barrel Stout beer. The result is a bourbon that bridges the world of whiskey and craft beer, offering a distinctive balance of sweet, dark, and spicy flavors. Bottled at 100 proof, this release delivers boldness with a smooth finish.
