Gear up for a bourbon brawl with Straight Bourbon Whiskey 10 Year from New Louisville Whiskey Company.
But wait, what's New Louisville Whiskey Company? It's the new brand from Prohibition Craft Spirits, the folks behind NULU, another brand that most would recognize. The new branding distinguishes their premium, older, heat-cycled expressions, and the price also reflects that.
On to the whiskey. This 10-year-old New Louisville barrel is an absolute showstopper, bursting with character from start to finish. The nose greets you with sweet marzipan, confectionary oak, rich toffee, warming baking spices, and a pop of ripe cherry that draws you in. It’s bold and full of life on the palate, with a beautiful balance of deep oak, firm tannins, and vibrant red fruit. Creamy butterscotch and brûléed sugar add a silky sweetness, while a subtle hint of roasted espresso gives it a grounding, earthy edge. The mouthfeel is nothing short of remarkable—oily, rich, and coating, making every sip linger.
The finish is long and rewarding, leaving layers of sweet oak, spice, and fruit that stay with you. There’s just enough heat to remind you of its strength, but it never overpowers. This whiskey’s arrival has been a long time coming, and what a debut it is—powerful, polished, and unforgettable. It’s sure to be a favorite for serious bourbon fans.
