13 years. Single barrel. Kentucky straight bourbon from Augusta Distillery — one of the oldest age-statement single barrel releases from a Kentucky craft distillery, named for Buckner Hill, the historic family land where the distillery was established. Augusta Distillery was founded in Augusta, Kentucky — a small river town on the Ohio River in Bracken County, one of the oldest communities in the state. The distillery takes its commitment to aging seriously in an era when many craft producers release at 2–3 years to meet demand. At 13 years, Buckner's represents a rare commitment from a craft distillery — patience that produces a bourbon dramatically different from the standard craft release. The Buckner name honors Buckner Hill, the historic family land connected to the distillery's founding story. At 13 years of Kentucky aging, the bourbon has completed over a decade of barrel cycling through the state's extreme temperature swings, producing deep oak integration, dried fruit concentration, and the leather complexity that extended maturation uniquely develops. A single barrel format means each bottle is a unique, unrepeatable expression of Augusta's 13-year program. Tasting Notes Appearance: Deep amber from 13 years of Kentucky straight bourbon aging. Nose: Caramel, vanilla, dried fruit, and the warm oak integration of 13-year maturation — the craft distillery's production character fully developed. Palate: Rich and complex — deep oak, dried fruit, leather, and warm spice in a fully integrated single barrel expression. Finish: Long and satisfying — the extended maturation producing a finish well beyond what younger craft bourbons can achieve.
