Dueling Grounds Distillery proudly presents the Linkumpinch 2 Barrel Blend Bourbon Special Reserve — 6-Year-Old “National Bourbon Week 2025” Release. We are continuing the tradition of limited releases of Special Reserve Small Batch Blends of 6 year old barrels. These barrels are carefully chosen by Master Distiller Steve Whitledge and Owner/Founder Marc Dottore. Available online starting August 28th, 2025. Also available at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival and in the distillery gift shop September 4th, 2025.
Crafted with care and aged to perfection, this limited-edition bourbon is a unique blend of Barrels 163 (Filled on 6/22/2019) & 169 (Filled on 7/18/2019) and matured in traditional 53-gallon #3 char white oak barrels. After over six years of slow aging in Kentucky’s seasonal climate, the barrels were carefully emptied on , 8/15/2025 and bottled just two days later at a bold yet balanced 110 proof.
This Double Barrel Special Reserve delivers a rich and layered flavor profile:
-
Nose: Brown sugar and vanilla upfront, supported by warm caramel notes and a subtle hint of dried hay.
-
Palate: Dark currants and soft caramel glide into a comforting finish of fresh-baked bread, offering depth and complexity with every sip.
Bottled exclusively for National Bourbon Heritage Month 2025, this small-batch expression is a limited release and a true collector’s item for bourbon lovers.
Whether you’re celebrating with friends or savoring a quiet moment, this rare release is a perfect pour.
Treat yourself to a bottle today — before it’s gone.
