Augusta Old Route 8 Barrel #50 131.2 Proof just won a NABWC Award, showing our relentless dedication to quality, from hand-selecting barrels to refining our craft with long-established tradition always in mind.

Like the thoroughfare it is named after, Old Route 8 connects Bourbon’s past and present and invites you to join in the journey.

Color

Graham crackers, vanilla, and salted caramel greet you as you approach, suggesting this is a true Kentucky Bourbon. These early notes give way to undertones of cedar and oak foreshadowing that this Bourbon has come of age.

Palate

The hints of favor and complexity created upon nosing are reinforced on the palate. Flavors of brown sugar, vanilla, and a dash of oak are balanced and revealed in smooth, cascading layers that only time and great liquid can deliver.

Finish

Long, smooth, and lingering, the finish extends the joy of this pour, delivering a classic “Kentucky hug.” Oak, baking spices, with a touch of sweetness are reminders that this is a traditional straight Kentucky Bourbon that deserves further exploration.
