Bourbon de Luxe 18 Year - 1934

The Bourbon de Luxe 18 Year Old, bottled in 1934, is a remarkable example of pre-Prohibition American whiskey. Distilled in the spring of 1916 and bottled in the fall of 1934, this Bottled-in-Bond bourbon adheres to the strict standards set by the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, ensuring it was aged for at least four years and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) under government supervision. This 18-year-old bourbon is noted for its exceptional aging, which has imparted deep, complex flavors and a rich character. The Bourbon de Luxe brand, known for its high-quality Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, has a storied history, and this particular bottling represents a significant piece of American whiskey heritage. The long maturation period, spanning the Prohibition era, adds to its historical significance.
