Single barrel Kentucky bourbon, aged ten years and bottled at 100 proof, Henry McKenna comes from the Bernheim distillery. Each bottle represents a single selection from a particular barrel, meaning no two bottlings are exactly identical. The spirit is made from a mash bill heavy in corn, distilled and aged in new charred oak barrels in the Kentucky limestone region.
At ten years in the wood, this bourbon develops deeper oak character and richness than younger expressions, with vanilla, caramel, and spice notes building complexity. The 100-proof bottling strength lets those flavors come through without dilution, making it substantial enough for sipping neat or with a splash of water, and also capable in a stirred cocktail like an Old Fashioned. The single-barrel selection adds an element of discovery, as each barrel imparts its own subtle variations on the house style.
