Although it is no longer produced in the back room of a St. Louis grocery store, the legacy of David Nicholson lives on at Lux Row Distillers. Located in Bardstown, Kentucky, the birthplace of bourbon, Lux Row began as a father’s dream and son’s commitment to provide visitors with a new distillery experience built on the timeless and true. Drive down the avenue and you’ll be surrounded by 90 hectares of pristine land, an 18th-century stone farm and a state-of-the-art bourbon distillery capable of producing 3 million liters of spirit each year. In the distillery’s bourbon bar, you’ll find David Nicholson sitting on the shelf – with sister brands Rebel Bourbon, Ezra Brooks, Daviess County Bourbon and Blood Oath – just waiting to be poured.

This extra-aged bourbon has a ”rye” mashbill giving a full-bodied and distinct, spicy taste. Aromas of vanilla and honey with smoky undertones hit the nose. Then a mouthfeel creates the woody notes you would expect, followed by an unusually smooth finish with hints of caramel, oak and mild spices.
