"With a high-wheat mash bill and no rye to be found, this lovely five-year-old bourbon shows all the sweet stone fruit and warm honey that you'd hope for. A gentle sweep of vanilla-tinged cereal notes provides a terrific counterpoint to subtle maple flavors. This is a beautifully crafted first release from the brand..." - Brian Freedman, Tasting Panel Magazine, March 2025

Stonestreet Founders Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey FAQs
What is Stonestreet Founders Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon? It's a premium Kentucky Straight Bourbon born from a partnership between the Stonestreet Winery family and a Kentucky distillery, bringing wine country craftsmanship into traditional bourbon making. This limited release brings both worlds together in one bottle.
How is this bourbon made? It follows bourbon's traditional mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, then gets distilled and aged in new charred American white oak barrels, as required by law. Where the Stonestreet team's wine background really shows is in how the barrels get selected and blended.
What does the Stonestreet Founders Edition taste like? Smooth and well rounded, with vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, dried stone fruit, and a touch of spice on the finish. Expect the warmth of a well aged Kentucky bourbon with enough going on to enjoy it neat or mixed into a classic cocktail.
What is the alcohol content? Check the label on your bottle for the exact ABV, since Founders Edition releases can vary from batch to batch. Most premium Kentucky bourbons in this style land somewhere between 45% and 50% ABV.
How does Stonestreet Founders Edition compare to other premium bourbons? It sits somewhere between established premium Kentucky names like Woodford Reserve and the smaller craft distillery scene. The wine country background sets it apart, especially for collectors and gift givers drawn to crossover releases from respected wine producers.
Can I personalize a bottle of Stonestreet Founders Edition? Yes. Personal Wine offers custom engraving and personalized labels on these bottles, which makes for a distinctive gift for bourbon fans, wine lovers, or anyone who appreciates something a little different.
Is Stonestreet Founders Edition a good gift? It makes a great conversation piece with a story behind it. It suits bourbon lovers curious about wine adjacent spirits, collectors chasing something unique, or anyone celebrating a milestone that deserves more than the ordinary bottle.
How should I serve this bourbon? Try it neat or over a large ice cube to get the full flavor. It also holds up well in a classic Manhattan, Old Fashioned, or bourbon sour. Taste it at room temperature first before deciding whether to add ice.
Where does Personal Wine ship Stonestreet Founders Edition? Personal Wine ships this bourbon to most states across the U.S. Liquor can't be shipped to Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Mississippi, Texas, or Utah due to state regulations.
