Lexington, Kentucky
Town Branch helped write a new chapter in Lexington’s distilling story as the seventh member of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail®. Town Branch Bottle Club brings members closer to the whiskey, the people who craft it, and the decisions behind every release.
Throughout the year, members enjoy exclusive virtual experiences exploring bourbon history, barrel-side pairings, blending, barrel finishing, and an annual bottle share with the Town Branch distilling and blending team.
Q4 bottle shipment
The Q4 shipment includes Town Branch Imperium MMXXVI Kentucky Straight Bourbon — Cask Strength (115.1 proof), the distillery’s highly limited annual-release bourbon, and Town Branch 6-Year Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey — 99 proof, the distillery’s newest heritage release from summer 2026.
The Q4 bottle shipment will be delivered in November to members and has a combined value of $170 before taxes and shipping.
Town Branch® Imperium MMXXVI Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a limited-release whiskey, expertly blended 50/50 from hand-selected bourbon barrels: 50% Kentucky Straight Bourbon mash-bill barrels and 50% Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon mash-bill barrels.
Every barrel leaving the rickhouse is tasted to determine its use. If selected for Imperium, it is carefully monitored, with stocks from both mash bills set aside to ensure precision in maturation and consistency in each year’s blend.
Released annually during National Bourbon Heritage Month in September, each edition is marked by its release year in Roman numerals, bottled at cask strength with a distinct proof, and offered in very limited quantities.
Bourbon Pursuit“…I really like that…front and mid-palate on this is outstanding.”
Fred Minnick“Town Branch Launches Imperium…50% Wheated Bourbon Blend…”
Mash bill: 50% (72C | 15R | 13MB) + 50% (70C | 22W | 8MB)
Town Branch® 6-Year Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey delivers the bold, timeless character of Kentucky bourbon, softened and gently sweetened by wheat in the mash bill. The result is a distinctive drinking experience that sets it apart from traditional Kentucky straight bourbons.
First distilled in 2017 and released in 2026, this wheated bourbon is aged for a minimum of six years before bottling. It offers a rich tasting profile of butterscotch, honey, biscuit, and oak, layered with notes of baked apple and warm spice.
