Stonestreet Founder's Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Stonestreet Founder's Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon: No Half Measures, Just Full Pours

Stonestreet Founder's Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon is built on an ethos of pursuing victory, never cutting corners, never settling for anything less than exceptional. It's the same standard Stonestreet applies to raising champion thoroughbreds in the heart of Kentucky, now brought to life in their inaugural bourbon release. From the ingredients sourced to the people behind the process, quality was the only thing that mattered when creating this bourbon.

Handcrafted in small batches and distilled and bottled in Bardstown, Kentucky, Stonestreet Founder's Edition is a high-wheat mash bill bourbon aged a minimum of five years to develop a distinctively smooth, sweet profile. Each batch is limited to just 131 barrels, making this a small-batch release for bourbon drinkers who appreciate both craftsmanship and scarcity. The current release, Batch 251, is crafted from a mash bill of 70% corn, 21% wheat, and 9% barley, bottled at 47% ABV (94 proof).

Whether sipped neat, enjoyed on the rocks, or used as the backbone of a classic cocktail like an Old Fashioned or Kentucky Manhattan, Stonestreet Founder's Edition delivers a smooth, approachable bourbon experience rooted in Kentucky heritage and a commitment to doing things fully or not at all.

Tasting Notes

Stonestreet Founder's Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon offers a distinctively smooth and sweet profile, shaped by its high-wheat mash bill and a minimum of five years of aging. Expect a rounded, approachable character with the softer, gentler wheat-driven sweetness that sets it apart from higher-rye bourbons, balanced by classic notes of oak and warm grain developed over its extended maturation.

Food Pairings

Stonestreet Founder's Edition's smooth, sweet profile pairs well with classic Southern and Kentucky-inspired fare. Try it alongside smoked brisket, fried chicken, or a charcuterie board with aged cheddar, or lean into its sweetness with bourbon pecan pie, caramel bread pudding, or dark chocolate.

Serving Suggestions

Stonestreet Founder's Edition is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to appreciate its smooth, wheated character, though it also shines in classic cocktails. Try it in a Tom & Julep, a Founder's Old Fashioned, or a Kentucky Manhattan for a refined take on Kentucky's classic cocktail traditions.
