Our Buckner’s 10-year, single-barrel bourbon completes the brand’s ultra-premium lineup. As the youngest expression in this esteemed family, it provides a level of maturity not commonly found in younger distillations. Its full-cask strength commands attention while still offering an approachable entry for bourbon drinkers looking to explore top-tier options.

Tasting Notes:

Colour: An inviting amber color is the conclusion of an intense 10-year relationship between our mash and its new American oak barrel. The warm, mahogany hue characterises Buckner’s understated potency that has been deservedly earned as patience gives way to perfection.

Palate: A haunting combination of antique wood, wet soil and dry corn pulls forward from a honeyed vanilla palate. This introduction immediately suggests a rare complexity that can only be found in a true Kentucky bourbon with properly aged maturity.

Finish: Exotic spice and caramel notes are directly complimented by hints of buttery cream and cured tea leaves. Each sip provides an unforgettable experience that instantly returns you to the limestone hills of Kentucky only to demand further exploration.

"A Kentucky sourced single barrel bourbon with a slightly unique yet traditionally grounded flavor profile from a brand that is trending right now." - Nick Beiter, Breaking Bourbon (Well Above Average)

"This is a super solid well above average 10-year Bourbon that I will be looking to purchase for a special occasion" - Bourbon Bossman

"A powerhouse bourbon that drinks with authority. Bold, complex, and rewarding. A pour worth every bit of its 10 years in oak." - Iron Oak Society (9.1/10)

"The high proof gives it a thick, syrupy appearance when swirled in the glass, with slow-forming legs indicating its richness and complexity. It’s bold and intense on the palate, with a definite mouth weight and a pronounced, oily viscosity. The high proof is noticeable and well-integrated. The whiskey features caramel, dark honey, and butterscotch notes balanced by rich vanilla and molasses. Dark fruit aromas of figs, raisins, cherries, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of black pepper, add a layered complexity while providing a warming spice that complements the sweetness. A pronounced oak influence with underlying earthy tones, including tobacco and leather, adds to the bourbon’s robust character." - Joseph V Micallef, Forbes
