Lux Row 12 Year Double Barrel Aged Cask Strength Bourbon 118.4 Proof

Lux Row 12 Year Double Barrel Aged Cask Strength Bourbon

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 59.2% ABV (118.4 Proof) | 750 mL | Kentucky, USA | Aged 12 Years | Double Barrel Limited Release | Cask Strength

Process & Profile
Lux Row 12 Year Double Barrel Aged Cask Strength Bourbon is a limited-release Kentucky straight bourbon created to commemorate the opening of Lux Row Distillers in Bardstown. Unlike a secondary finishing bourbon, this release is built by marrying two separate 12-year-old single barrels into one small batch expression, giving it the “double barrel” identity through blending rather than re-barreling. That distinction matters because it keeps the profile rooted in long-aged bourbon character while adding a little more layered balance from the two-barrel combination.

What makes this bottle especially notable is the way Lux Row pairs age with a fixed cask strength proof of 118.4, a deliberate nod to the distillery’s April 2018 opening. The result is a bourbon that leans mature, concentrated, and richer than the standard Lux Row lineup, with more oak, darker sweetness, and fuller structure. For those looking for a 12-year cask strength bourbon, a Lux Row limited release, or a double barrel bourbon with stronger collector appeal, this bottle stands out as one of the brand’s more recognizable age-stated releases.

Tasting Notes

How to Enjoy
Lux Row 12 Year Double Barrel Aged Cask Strength Bourbon is best enjoyed neat first so the age, proof, and oak-driven depth can fully open in the glass. Let it rest for several minutes before sipping to bring out more of the caramel, vanilla, tobacco, and cinnamon. A few drops of water can help widen the aromatics and soften the structure while keeping the whiskey’s darker sweet profile intact. This is also a strong side-by-side bottle for those looking to compare it against younger Lux Row releases and see how extended age changes the house style.
