Reserve Bourbon
Belle Meade Bourbon Reserve is a bold expression, bottled at 108.3 proof to satisfy the growing appetite for well-aged, higher-proof bourbon with real character.
The most promising well aged barrels in our inventory get tasted. The ones that have the depth and quality of a Single Barrel but fall shy in proof? We set them aside. Then we blend them with select higher-proof barrels that lift the proof and amplify the flavor creating a whiskey that’s far more than the sum of its parts.
Averaging 7 - 11 years in age, the result is rich, powerful, and unapologetically full-flavored. Not chill filtered, so every drop delivers maximum complexity.
Belle Meade Bourbon Reserve has a depth of flavor that is a journey with every sip. Enjoy it neat, over ice, with a splash of water, or let it take your favorite cocktail to the next level.

TASTING NOTES
While each batch has its own personality, Belle Meade Bourbon Reserve always delivers a balanced blend of spicy rye, stone fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, and rich confectionary notes of vanilla, caramel, nougat, and toffee.
