Lucky Seven The Hold Up is a nine-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), curated by master blender Ashley Barnes.
The mash bill is 74% corn, 18% rye and 8% malted barley, a classic high-corn Kentucky recipe with enough rye for spice. Nine years in the barrel builds a rich, velvety bourbon with layers of complexity that unfold with every sip, and Barnes selected it to reveal nuances that linger on the palate.
At 100 proof it delivers bold flavor while staying smooth and well rounded. The label, with its vintage ticket styling, casts the whiskey as the star of the show.
It makes a handsome gift for any bourbon lover.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
Nine years in the barrel is well beyond the four years that many Kentucky bourbons reach, giving deeper oak and a richer texture.
Bourbon must be made from at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers; a straight bourbon spends at least two years in that oak.
At 100 proof, a few drops of water open up the aromas and soften the heat.
An 18% rye share gives a gentle spice that balances the sweetness of the corn.
A bold, older bourbon like this one stands up beautifully in an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan.
