Legent Bourbon

Introducing Legent, a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey partially finished in wine and sherry casks. This unique bourbon is an unprecedented collaboration between two whiskey legends: Fred Noe, from the founding family of bourbon and Jim Beam’s seventhgeneration Master Distiller, and Shinji Fukuyo, from the founding house of Japanese whisky and Suntory’s fifth-ever Chief Blender.

Legent starts with a historic bourbon recipe from Fred Noe’s family. Every drop is crafted with high-quality grains and calcium-rich, iron-free, limestone water and is aged for at least four years in newly charred white oak barrels.

It’s here that Legent begins to pick up unique flavors from the different casks. Layers of spice and fruity undertones are imparted from the sherry casks, while the red-wine casks lend Legent a light tartness and help punch up the dried fruit flavors.

Shinji Fukuyo takes these distinct, secondary-finished bourbons and meticulously blends them with Kentucky straight bourbon. Blending allows Shinji to balance the different flavors to consistently hit the flavor profile he and Fred originally envisioned.
