Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a refined, easy-drinking bourbon inspired by the historic Stitzel-Weller Distillery. Crafted using a unique solera aging system, it blends younger and older whiskeys to create a well-balanced, consistently smooth profile. Named after the two parts of a skeleton key—“blade” and “bow”—this bourbon honors the tradition and craftsmanship of one of Kentucky’s most iconic whiskey legacies.
With its soft texture, subtle complexity, and elegant finish, Blade and Bow is perfect for both newcomers and seasoned bourbon drinkers.
Available now at Whiskey Caviar, it’s a modern classic built on timeless heritage.
