{"title":"Kentucky Nectar","description":"\u003cp\u003eOld Commonwealth brought back Kentucky Nectar, a label Heaven Hill last bottled for Chicago importers in 1967. Its owners bought the Lawrenceburg site, home of the Hoffman Distilling Company from the 1890s, in 2019 and reissued the brand in fall 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe finish is the whole idea. Old Commonwealth charges new charred oak barrels with raw organic honey, then turns them by hand because the honey adds so much weight. Bees swarmed the floor during one filling. Underneath sits a wheated bourbon, 64 percent corn, 24 percent wheat and 12 percent malted barley, soft enough to carry honey without turning into candy. Releases come by season, 101 to 114.5 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"kentucky-nectar-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey-finished-in-honey-cask-summer-2026-750ml","title":"Kentucky Nectar Summer 2026 Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Honey Cask 750ml","description":"Small Batch. Limited Release. Summer 2026. Finished in honey cask and bottled at 52.5% ABV, this Kentucky Nectar drop hits that sweet-spot 105 proof with purpose. Bottled by Old Commonwealth Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, this seasonal release blends select straight bourbon and layers on a honey-cask finish for extra depth—without disguising the whiskey. The producer does not disclose the distilling source; what you get is a focused, honey-kissed bourbon built for intensity and balance. At 52.5% ABV, flavors land with real weight, amplified by time in American oak before the secondary honey-cask rest. Collectors chase these limited seasonal runs because they vanish quickly and each batch shows a distinct profile from the finishing casks.","brand":"Kentucky Nectar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54063182545091,"sku":"198168416044","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/5038\/0227\/files\/studio_42cd3309-155c-4c4d-a221-976667cb0038.png?v=1786053435"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/5038\/0227\/collections\/Kentucky_Nectar_cut.png?v=1787249228","url":"https:\/\/whiskeylibrary.com\/collections\/kentucky-nectar.oembed","provider":"Whiskey Library LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
