Legent Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky
In stock
A unique collaboration between two icons of whiskey-making, Legent Bourbon is the creation of whisky legends Fred Noe and Shinji Fukuyo. Finished in a combination of wine and sherry casks, Legent is made using a historic recipe from Fred Noe’s family and is matured for at least four years in virgin white oak barrels. It is then blended by Shinji Fukuyo to create layers of spice, dried fruit and tart red berries.
Three different types of casks are used to mature Legent bourbon and each one imparts its own unique characteristics to the spirit. Virgin American oak barrels provide notes of caramel, vanilla and oak spice, while the sherry casks offer layers of raisins, baking spices and rich dried fruits, and the red wine casks create fresh, fruity undertones, as well as a light acidity.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep copper-amber with warm amber-gold highlights and a glossy, reddish-tinged glow.
Nose
Rich bourbon aromatics of toasted oak, caramel and vanilla, unfolding into a tapestry of spice. Subtle fruit lifts from the wine and sherry casks—gentle dried fruits with tart red-berry notes—completing a refined, layered nose.
Palate
Welcoming notes of dried raisins and dates mingle with a bright, balanced acidity and a touch of sweetness. Sherry-cask bitterness threads through a rich, warm, oaken core, unveiling layered spice and dried fruit with subtle red-berry lift on the palate.
Finish
Oaky and velvety, a smooth finish that lingers surprisingly long, with warm vanilla and spice notes lingering alongside toasted wood.
