Augusta Distillery 10 Year Old Aged Buckner's Single Barrel Unfiltered Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Buckner's is named for Captain Philip Buckner, a Revolutionary War veteran of the Virginia Militia awarded 7,000 acres along the Ohio River — land he donated to found the town of Augusta, Kentucky in 1797, along with its first school and courthouse before serving in the state legislature. The 10 Year is the youngest expression in Augusta Distillery's ultra-premium Buckner's lineup, which climbs through 13, 15, and 17 Year bottlings — all Kentucky-sourced single barrels bottled unfiltered at full cask strength, never proofed down. Founded in 2018 on the limestone banks of Augusta, the distillery began as a bottler while building a $23 million facility in the historic 1883 F.A. Neider building, and now runs its own Vendome pot stills. This bourbon comes from an undisclosed Kentucky distillery, with a mash bill reported at 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley, aged ten years in new charred oak. Because it's a true single barrel, proof varies dramatically — from around 108 to over 136 — and the flavor with it. Barrel Banter found rich caramel, dark fruit, and fig on the nose like maple syrup on a waffle, with Tootsie Roll and oak on a heavy palate and plum jam on the finish. Breaking Bourbon noted some barrels lose nearly 40% to evaporation, concentrating what remains. Honest note: reviewers consistently rate it solid but debate the $150 price. Antique wood, honeyed vanilla, and a warm Kentucky hug.
