BARDSTOWN, Ky., May 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Leading US family-owned wine company Jackson
Family Wines is thrilled to announce the launch of its first
spirit, Stonestreet Kentucky Straight Bourbon 'Founder's Edition.'
The inaugural bourbon was born out of the family's success in horse
racing. In 2005, the Jackson family established Stonestreet Farms
in Kentucky, intending to make
their mark in top-level thoroughbred racing, which became a reality
when winning three consecutive American Horses of the Year: Curlin
(2007, 2008) and Rachel Alexandra
(2009). Stonestreet, the bourbon's emblematic name, is company
founder Jess Jackson's middle name
which has been passed down through generations and graces their
horse farm, estate vineyards, and now, their foray into the bourbon
category.
Christopher Stonestreet Jackson,
co-proprietor of Jackson Family Wines and founder of the project,
is the bourbon's master blender. "My family's passion for
excellence underpins everything we do. From racing our first
thoroughbred in 2005 to the release of our inaugural bourbon, we
will never stop pursuing what is possible while respecting those
who have ventured before us," says Jackson.
Handcrafted in small batches and bottled at 94 proof, the
high-wheat mash bill bourbon is aged for a minimum of 5 years to
create a distinctively smooth profile; only 131 barrels were
produced. The nose boasts aromas of toasted caramel with sweet corn
and a touch of lemon oil, while the palate has a rounded approach
with a silky texture, and flavors of baked peach, vanilla and
toffee. Best served neat, over ice or as a wonderful addition to a
classic cocktail.
Stonestreet Founder's Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
is available in Kentucky and most
major markets across the United
States, with a suggested retail price of $60 per 750ml bottle. For more, visit:
