5094 Transplant: The Sleeper Bourbon Nobody's Talking About

Empire Meets Bluegrass: 5094 Transplant Bourbon Review 🥃 What happens when New York spirit meets Kentucky craftsmanship? You get the 5094 Transplant by 5094 Distilling, an incredible 4-year four-grain bourbon that made its debut at Glenns Creek Distilling. In today's journey, we sit down with a bottle of the very first release (Barrel #1, Bottle #5!) to see if this "transplant" has found a perfect home in the Bluegrass state. Distilled in New York and finished for three years in world-renowned Radoux Tonnellerie toasted French oak barrels, this 94.8 proof bourbon offers a sophisticated profile far beyond its $54 price point. We’re talking dark brown sugar, charred marshmallow, espresso, and cocoa notes that give even the most famous double-oaked bourbons a run for their money. We also dive into the story of Tom Jones and his vision for 5094 Distilling at the historic, abandoned Old Lewis Hunter Distillery site. Is this a contender for Whiskey of the Month?
