Classic Bourbon
Some bourbons are good. This one’s unforgettable.
We honor Belle Meade’s 19th-century legacy the only way we know how—by bottling nothing but the best. Every drop starts with barrels handpicked from some of America’s finest distilleries. Then we create a proprietary blend of two high-rye mash bills with two complementary yeast strains, aged an average of 6–8 years, to create a high-rye bourbon with a signature character—rich, balanced, and complex—that’s earned Belle Meade its place among the award-winning world class whiskeys of today.
This bourbon was built for versatility. At 90.4 proof, it’s refined enough to sip neat or on the rocks and it’s bold enough to hold its own in any cocktail.
Whether it’s a timeless Old Fashioned or something new from your bar cart, Belle Meade is the bourbon that adds flavor and complexity to your creation as the high-rye spice becomes the perfect backbone for whatever you’re mixing up.
Whoever said “everything old is new again” was talking about us. So give it a try and you’ll be glad you did. Drink Belle Meade Bourbon.
