This small batch expression marries traditional Kentucky craftsmanship with Virginia's discerning approach to barrel selection, creating a bourbon that honors both the 1787 vintage year referenced on the label and the timeless art of American whiskey making. Each bottle represents the confluence of two great whiskey regions, where Kentucky's bold distilling heritage meets Virginia's refined finishing philosophy.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honeyed corn sweetness, vanilla bean, toasted oak, dried orange peel, subtle baking spice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel and brown butter, charred oak, dark chocolate, warm cinnamon, black pepper undertones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to long with lingering oak tannins, vanilla custard, gentle rye spice, hint of leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e49.0% (98 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo Age Statement (NAS)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky Distillery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBottled By\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMiddleburg Barrel Company\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky\/Virginia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEvening Porch Sipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e The perfect companion for watching sunset fade over Virginia countryside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntimate Gatherings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Share stories over glasses of this thoughtfully selected bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContemplative Moments:\u003c\/strong\u003e Let the complexity unfold during quiet fireside reflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Occasions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mark meaningful moments with this distinctive small batch expression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Provenance Small Batch Bourbon taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvenance Small Batch delivers a classic bourbon profile with honeyed sweetness on the nose, rich caramel and oak on the palate, and a satisfying medium-long finish.
