The Staghorn spirits company said recently that it’s “relaunching” the entire line of whiskies from its Garrad County Distilling Co. The Lancaster, Kentucky distillery’s flagship whiskey is called All Nations Kentucky Straight Bourbon, a blend of sourced whiskey from four Kentucky distilleries.

Garrad County Distilling Co., which opened last year, currently has more than 32,000 barrels of new make whiskeky aging in its rickhouses.

All Nations Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Blend: Whiskies sourced from four different Kentucky distilleries.

Age: Five to seven years old.

Tasting notes (from the distillery): “On the nose, aromas of sweet spice and dry leather blend with clove, revealing Madagascar vanilla and toasted turbinado sugar, reminiscent of campfire marshmallows. Poached pear on the palate is followed by honeyed black tea and tobacco smoke. A savory finish of white peppercorn and subtle black walnut rounds out the experience.”

SRP: $39.99

“Instead of a single Master Distiller dictating how the bourbon should be crafted, All Nations engages a panel with decades of experience at such distillers as Jim Beam, Barton, MGP and Bluegrass to create its whiskey. This democratic approach to whiskey making ensures there is something for everyone to experience and enjoy in All Nations’ harmonious blends.”
