Belle Meade Bourbon Cask Strength Reserve is a premium full strength whiskey. These are the barrels of bourbon that taste good enough to be a Single Barrel but don't have a high enough proof to be a Single Barrel. They batch these reserve barrels with others barrels in their inventory to raise the proof while enhancing the flavors of said reserve barrels. When blended together, these barrels of well-aged bourbon create a product that is greater than the sum of its individual parts.
Each small batch of our Reserve is comprised of just seven of these exceptional barrels. A bold bourbon for those who appreciate something straight cut from the barrel. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, with a splash of water, or in your favorite cocktail. This high rye Belle Meade bourbon earned "Top 20 Whiskies of 2018" from Whisky Advocate.

About Belle Meade
Charles Nelson was born on July 4, 1835, in a small town in the Mecklenburg-Schwerin state of northern Germany. In 1850, his father decided to move the family, which included five other siblings, to the United States for a chance at a better life. During the journey across the Atlantic, John Nelson passed away and Charles — just 15 years old at the time — found himself the breadwinner of the family.
After working at several odd jobs throughout the Northeast, Nelson settled in Nashville and opened a grocery store built on the foundation of his three best-selling products: coffee, meat, and whiskey. Demand for Nelson's whiskey soared during Reconstruction such that he shuttered his grocery store and opened up his own distillery. The distillery, commonly known as "Old Number Five" due to the fact that it was given Distillery License #5, became one of the largest in the United States and was the first to produce Belle Meade Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Old Number Five was eventually forced to close its doors during Prohibition, but today, Charlie and Andy Nelson — Charles Nelson's great-great-great grandsons — have taken up the family business once more.
There are not many things more American than bourbon, and although most of it is produced in Kentucky, it can be produced all over the USA. It must be made with at least 51% corn and bottled at 40% ABV or higher. So why not give this American classic a try?
