Why it's craft
Bardstown Bourbon Co. distills this rye itself at its Kentucky distillery, from a mash of 95% rye, and ages it at least six years before moving it into toasted cherry wood and oak barrels. Each bottle is a single barrel picked by hand and bottled at barrel strength, so the proof and the weight of the cherry shift from barrel to barrel. Pritzker Private Capital has owned the company since 2022, and since 2025 it has run under the Lofted Spirits name.
