J. Mattingly 1845 6 Year Double Staved Bourbon 750ml

One Hell of a Pick: a 6‑Year‑Old Kentucky Bourbon, Double Staved and bottled at 114 proof (57% ABV). The resurrected J. Mattingly 1845 name nods to Kentucky’s 19th‑century Mattingly lineage and today is known for bespoke private selections and oak‑forward finishing. This release spends six years in barrel, then is finished with additional oak staves to turbo‑charge vanilla, caramel and spice, delivering concentrated flavor at a muscular proof. At 57% ABV, it drinks big and expressive, with the stave finish layering fresh toasted oak over classic Kentucky sweetness. Expect a bolder, darker profile than standard bourbon—built for enthusiasts who want intensity without losing balance. It’s a private store pick, effectively a one‑off single barrel yield, and once it’s gone, it won’t be repeated.
