Blade and Bow Bourbon is more than just a whiskey—it's a legacy. The brand pays homage to the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery, a sacred name among bourbon enthusiasts and the birthplace of some of the most iconic American whiskeys. Named after the two parts of a skeleton key—the blade shaft and the bow handle—Blade and Bow symbolizes the five keys once hung at the distillery, representing five essential pillars: grains, yeast, fermentation, distillation, and aging. These keys are still embedded in the brand’s ethos, honoring heritage while embracing modern sophistication.

Blade and Bow employs a unique Solera aging system—a method more commonly associated with fine sherries—allowing a fractional portion of the original Stitzel-Weller bourbon to remain in every bottle. This technique maintains continuity in flavor, imparting a depth that’s rare among modern bourbons. The blend of newer whiskeys with well-aged reserves creates a complex yet balanced spirit. Each batch is carefully crafted using traditional methods that echo the rich history of the distillery, resulting in a bourbon that bridges past and present.
The nose opens with warm notes of toasted oak, vanilla bean, and dried apricot. Subtle hints of caramelized sugar and ripe pear follow, adding elegance and softness. The bouquet is layered and inviting—never overwhelming—perfectly setting the stage for what’s to come.
On the palate, Blade and Bow delivers a smooth and mellow experience with hints of dried fruit, baking spice, and a whisper of leather. The finish is long, clean, and slightly dry, marked by delicate traces of honey and charred oak. This balance of softness and depth is the hallmark of a refined bourbon, making it highly approachable yet endlessly intriguing.
Blade and Bow has earned numerous accolades, including a Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Its unique Solera aging process and historical roots continue to captivate critics and collectors alike. These awards are not just symbols of quality—they reflect the brand’s dedication to preserving the spirit of Stitzel-Weller with uncompromising excellence.

Its smooth character and historical depth make it a versatile choice for sipping neat, enjoying on the rocks, or gifting to someone who appreciates a story in every pour. Whether you're a collector seeking tradition or a newcomer exploring premium bourbons, Blade and Bow offers a sophisticated experience that resonates with all.
