Kentucky Deluxe 8 Year Old Straight Bourbon 1990s

This is a mid-1980s bottling of Kentucky Deluxe, a brand produced at Heaven Hill.

Bottled in 1986, this would have been distilled and bottled at Heaven Hill's old distillery in Bardstown, prior to it being destroyed by fire in 1996. 

Kentucky Deluxe is a charcoal filtered whiskey, a practice known as the Lincoln County Process and often better associated with Tennessee Whiskies such as Jack Daniel's. This often leads to a common misconception, likely deliberately promoted by some distillers, that whiskey produced in this fashion cannot be called bourbon.
