HOSPITALITY
Bird Dog Whiskey has launched a new offering: a purebred Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
For years, Bird Dog Whiskey has reigned as the most awarded flavored whiskey line in the industry, pioneering the category long before it hit the mainstream. Now, the Kentucky-based brand is answering the call from its fanbase with a highly anticipated new offering: Bird Dog Select Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
This release marks a significant step for the brand, bringing its commitment to quality and approachable flavor into the realm of straight bourbon. At 86 proof, the Select Reserve is crafted to be versatile enough for any occasion, from easy porch sipping to forming the complex backbone of a Saturday tailgate cocktail.
Flavor Without Pretense
Bird Dog has built its reputation on delivering rich, authentic flavor without relying on industry jargon or high pretense. The Select Reserve carries that philosophy directly into the straight bourbon category. This is a bourbon built for everyday enjoyment, delivered at a price point that makes it an easy, accessible pour.
The tasting profile reveals a whiskey that is smooth, rich, and balanced:
Nose: The aroma opens with sweet notes of buttery caramel and roasted almonds, promising immediate warmth.
Palate: The taste delivers distinct layers of toffee, warm brown sugar, and a hint of walnut, unfolding a deep richness across the mid-palate.
Finish: The lingering finish is clean and satisfying, ensuring the flavor doesn't overstay its welcome.
This intentional profile is designed to appeal to both seasoned bourbon drinkers and those who are just beginning to explore the category.
A Purebred Kentucky Heritage
Bird Dog Whiskey, a brand of Western Spirits Beverage Company, has deep roots in Bowling Green, Kentucky. While it earned its fame by pioneering the flavored whiskey segment starting in 2010, this latest offering emphasizes its heritage in the state known globally for bourbon production.
The decision to launch a purebred Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey reflects the brand’s maturity and its ability to seamlessly transition its expertise in flavor crafting to traditional spirits.
The Bird Dog Select Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is now available across most U.S. markets and can be ordered online for an MSRP of $22.99. For those who appreciate quality without the complexity, this new reserve is the perfect find for the liquor cabinet.
