Old Crow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 6 Year Old
Out of stock
This Old Crow Bourbon is a bottle from the 1970's when the distillery was still operational (now a silent distillery and derelict building for over 30 years) and not the low-priced brand of Kentucky-made straight bourbon whiskey distilled by Jim Beam.
The Old Crow brand has a venerable history as one of Kentucky's earliest bourbons.
James C. Crow, a Scottish immigrant, started distilling what would come to be Old Crow in Frankfort, Kentucky, in the 1830s. Reportedly a very skilled distiller, he made whiskey for various employers, which was sold as "Crow" or, as it aged, "Old Crow" – and the brand acquired its reputation from the latter.
The last remaining stock of Old Crow acquired near-legendary status and the whiskey had been, at one time, the top selling bourbon in the United States.
Old Crow is said to have been the favorite bourbon of American writer Mark Twain and journalist Hunter S. Thompson liked it. Twain reportedly visited the distillery in the 1880s, and Old Crow advertised this heavily.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm, mahogany glow.
Nose
Rich, warm nose of toasted oak, caramel and vanilla, with brown sugar and ripe corn at the core. Subtle maple, baking spice and dried fruit lift the spirit, while leather and tobacco add old-world depth. A whisper of smoke hints at char and aging, conjuring a vintage Kentucky bourbon with quiet refinement.
Palate
Silky caramel-vanilla entry balanced by toasted oak; mid-palate reveals fig, toffee and baking spice. Light to medium mouthfeel, then a warm, oak-driven finish with lingering hints of cocoa and leather.
Finish
Warm caramel and vanilla drift across the palate, carried by gentle oak tannins. A quiet spice lingers as sweetness recedes, with soft tobacco and leather notes rounding the tail. Medium-long and velvety, a timeless warmth that leaves a refined, memory-tinged finish.
