At 128 proof, it offers intense flavor concentration with classic bourbon characteristics of honey sweetness, leather, and tobacco notes.
Should I drink Mr. & Mrs. Bourbon neat or with water?
At 128 proof, this bourbon is best approached neat first to experience its full intensity, then experiment with a few drops of water to open up different flavor layers. The high proof allows for customization - add water gradually until you reach your preferred strength while maintaining the bourbon's complex character.

This is a single barrel selection hand-picked by Liquor Barn, meaning no two bottles are exactly alike. Each single barrel bourbon has unique characteristics based on its specific location in the rickhouse and individual aging conditions, making this a one-of-a-kind expression from barrel #403.
Is Mr. & Mrs. Bourbon good value for the price?
Single barrel, barrel-strength bourbons offer exceptional value for enthusiasts seeking unique expressions. You're getting the full intensity and character that would normally be diluted in standard bottlings, plus the exclusivity of a hand-selected barrel that won't be replicated.
How does Mr. & Mrs. compare to other Kentucky bourbons?
Mr. & Mrs. Bourbon represents the bold, uncompromising style of modern Kentucky distilling with traditional methods. Like other Bardstown area bourbons, it showcases the rich, sweet character of Kentucky limestone water and climate, but at barrel strength it offers more intensity than typical 80-90 proof bottlings.
