Description

Limestone Farms Bloodlines Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey is an approachable, mature-leaning Kentucky straight bourbon that centers on classic comfort—roasted nuts, dark fruit, and warm baking spice—then finishes with a candy-sweet, char-kissed flourish. It’s positioned as the brand’s entry expression, offering a layered, easy-sipping profile that still shows enough oak and structure to work beautifully in premium cocktails. Origins & CraftsmanshipBloodlines is a small-batch blend of Kentucky straight bourbons aged 6 and 9 years, sourced from an undisclosed Kentucky distillery and bottled under the Limestone Farms Heritage Distilling banner. The reported mashbill is 78% corn, 13% rye, and 9% malted barley, a recipe that leans into rounded sweetness and roasted grain richness while keeping a modest rye snap for lift. As a blend built from mature stock, the goal is balance and consistency—melding older oak depth with brighter fruit and spice. It has been released around 95 proof, reinforcing a supple mouthfeel without pushing heat, and making it equally suited to neat pours, a single cube, or spirit-forward classics. Critics ReviewsDrinkhacker reviewer Jacob Kiper rates Limestone Farms Bloodlines Kentucky Straight Bourbon “B”, describing a nose that opens with roasted almonds and plums, then builds into nutmeg, molasses, and sweet tobacco. On the palate, he notes Danish butter cookies and an unusual watermelon-rind nuance, followed by popcorn, brown sugar, and barrel char, finishing with candy-like tones reminiscent of Cow Tales and Big Red gum. He cites it as enjoyable and well-made, though not especially distinctive versus broader category competition, and reports it at 95 proof. Tasting ProfileNose: Roasted almonds and dark plum up front, followed by nutmeg, molasses, and a sweet-tobacco warmth that reads classic and inviting. Palate: Smooth and gently oily, moving from butter-cookie sweetness into brown sugar, toasted corn, and a lightly charred oak edge. A bright, quirky fruit note can show—more rind-like freshness than ripe fruit—adding lift to the mid-palate. Finish: Medium-long and memorable, with candy sweetness, cinnamon-red spice, and a final brush of barrel char and toasted nuts.
