Blade and Bow has officially re-released its ultra-premium 22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey for 2026.

Originally launched in 2015 and re-released every year since, Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old returns as one of the brand’s most anticipated annual releases, this exceptionally rare expression is aged and bottled in extremely limited quantities at the historic Stitzel-Weller Distillery.

With over two decades of maturation, the 22-Year-Old represents the pinnacle of Blade and Bow’s portfolio – offering a whiskey defined by depth, complexity, and a direct connection to the legacy of American bourbon. 

The brand’s name references the iconic Five Keys that once hung on the distillery’s door, symbolizing the five steps of crafting bourbon: grains, yeast, fermentation, distillation, and aging.

The 2026 re-release became available beginning April 2026, in highly limited quantities at the Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Louisville, KY, with additional availability in select U.S. markets while supplies last.

At Stitzel-Weller Distillery, Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old also is featured as the April “Bottle of the Day,” with one bottle available for purchase daily on a first come, first served basis. In addition, guests can purchase the tasting experience, which features single pours of Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old on-site at the Garden & Gun Club in Stitzel-Weller Distillery, offering a rare opportunity to taste this highly limited, ultra-aged bourbon without securing a full bottle.

Each annual release reflects the time-honored craftsmanship and heritage of the Stitzel-Weller Distillery, offering a refined interpretation of classic Kentucky bourbon.

Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old is bottled at 92 proof and has an SRP of $1,100. A Distillery tasting experience ($150) is also available – it Includes one ounce of Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, an etched Five Keys Glencairn crystal tasting glass, signature wool tartan bag, Blade and Bow enamel pin, and a tasting notes guide.
