Augusta Distillery's Old Route 8 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is produced in Augusta, Kentucky. This 8-year-old single barrel bourbon is distilled from a mashbill of 74% corn, 18% rye and 8% malted barley, and aged in new American oak casks. It is bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 57.7%.
The Company explains that they aimed for an unrushed product, reminiscent of Kentucky’s scenic State Route 8, which runs along the Ohio River, and meant to instill an appreciation of the slow and traditional. They’ve done it. I look forward to trying their other offerings.
