We loved our first Town Branch Store Pick Single Barrel Bourbon so much, that we knew, eventually, we’d have to get another. The last single barrel is a pick that people still talk about and ask us for so hopefully, this second pick can live up to it! We feel Town Branch is extremely underrated when it comes to both Bourbon and Single Malt.
Town Branch is a brand of Bourbon distilled and bottled by Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co. and owned by the parent company, Alltech. The brand is named after the creek or branch of water that runs through Lexington, where the distillery is located. Built in 2012, it would be considered a fairly new distillery but has become a staple of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail as new distilleries continue to be built and planned for.

Holly’s Tasting Notes: Warm oatmeal cookies and raisins, chocolate covered raisins a dash of orange creamsicle in the background with some baked cinnamon spice. Spicy apple chai, and dark chocolate on the finish.
Charles’ Tasting Notes: The nose is nutty, candied cherries and sugar. The palate has honey with sweet orchard fruits, baking spice and a coffee note on the finish. It has a long, slightly spicy finish.
