New Louisville 9 Year "Derby City Jam" Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

The New Louisville Whiskey Co. 9 Year “Derby City Jam” is a limited-release Kentucky straight bourbon that celebrates Louisville’s deep bourbon heritage. Aged for nine years in charred American oak barrels and bottled at barrel strength (around 130 proof), it delivers a bold, concentrated expression of Kentucky whiskey. Its name, “Derby City Jam,” reflects both the city’s nickname and the rich, jammy character that defines this single-barrel release. With limited availability and varying prices across retailers, it has quickly become a sought-after bottle among collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate high-proof, fruit-forward bourbons.

On the nose, Derby City Jam opens with aromas of blackberry compote, vanilla bean, toasted oak, and caramel. The palate is dominated by dark berry jam layered with cinnamon spice, molasses, and hints of cocoa, creating a rich and indulgent flavor profile. The finish is long and silky, with lingering barrel heat that balances the sweetness and spice. A splash of water reveals additional notes of brown sugar and dried fruit, making this bourbon versatile for both neat sipping and slow exploration.
