Town Branch Overproof is a Kentucky straight whiskey from Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co., a blend of four Kentucky straight whiskeys (90% bourbons and 10% rye) bottled at 104 proof (52% ABV).
Added to Town Branch's core range in 2024, Overproof combines bourbon, wheated bourbon, double oak whiskey and rye whiskey for an experience reminiscent of a high-rye bourbon. It is designed with a higher proof to give a robust backbone to cocktails while remaining complex enough for neat sipping. Town Branch Distillery opened in 2012 across from Lexington Brewing Co., the first new distillery built in Lexington, Kentucky, in more than 100 years.
Rich and complex, it drinks like a high-rye bourbon, with enough strength to stand up in any cocktail.
