Old Settler
A Pioneering Spirit Born of the Frontier Spirit that drove the early settlers of the American West, comes Old Settler Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. In 1837, Edward J. Curley was a Union soldier during the Civil War in the First Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Cavalry. In Jessamine County on the Kentucky River not far from Lexington, the Union had constructed an installation called Camp Nelson.
aa Old Settler A Pioneering Spirit
After the Confederate surrender, Curley, together with two partners, founded and built the BlueGrass Distillery along the river not far from the camp. In 1879, Curley built a second distillery on the other side of the river called The Boone’s Knoll Distillery. His whiskey continued to garner national acclaim until the advent of National Prohibition. After Repeal in 1934, the distillery rose from the ashes as the Kentucky River Distillery, and Old Settler Bourbon was born.

Tasting Notes

OLD SETTLER

This specially selected high-rye Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey displays a pure auburn-mahogany color rimmed by a halo of yellow gold. Classic aromas of toasty oak, vanilla, dried plum, raisin and maple-caramel are complemented by hints of tobacco and baking spices. Rich flavors of sweet oak, vanilla, maple pecan, warm baking spice and tobacco lead to a long, warm and deceptively soft finish.
