It’s lucky number seven for Hidden Barn Bourbon this week. The Sparta, Kentucky brand is releasing a seven-year-old double-barreled bourbon on 7/7 (July 7th). Hidden Barn Seven-Year-Old Bourbon is the result of a partnership with Royce Neeley of Neeley Family Distillery and Master Blender Jackie Zykan.
Hidden Barn said, “This bourbon was double pot-distilled after fermenting with wild-crafted Appalachian yeast, a practice of the Neeley Family dating back generations. The unique process also includes utilizing sweet mash as well as open cypress fermentation tanks to achieve products with rustic depth and dimension.”

“We’re excited to continue partnering with Jackie on Hidden Barn, and to release what is ironically, her seventh blend of Hidden Barn Bourbon. Jackie has access to all my inventory for her blending. Basically, I’ve given her the keys to the warehouse, and we can expect to see more one-of-a-kind releases in the future now that she’s got thousands of barrels to play with.”
