Town Branch Bourbon Whiskey

Town Branch is the bourbon from Lexington Brewing and Distilling Co., the company Pearse Lyons built on the site of a brewery founded in 1890, which he revived in 1999 and expanded into a distillery in 2008 with a pair of copper pot stills bought from Scotland. Lyons was an Irish scientist with a doctorate in yeast fermentation and the founder of Alltech; Town Branch was the first new distillery in Lexington since Prohibition, named for the creek the city was founded on, and his son Mark Lyons now runs the company. The bourbon is a Kentucky straight bourbon from a mash of 72% corn, 15% rye and 13% malted barley, blended from barrels in a core range of five to eight years old, non-chill filtered and bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV). Since late 2024 the blend has drawn on two primary bourbons made from the same grain bill but distilled differently, one double pot-distilled and one run through a column still; the distillery describes the pot-still component as deep stone fruit, orchard fruit and biscuit and the column component as honey, cinnamon and nut. The blend now averages about two years older than it used to.
