# All Nations Bourbon: Kentucky's Newest Community-Crafted Spirit *By James Hills — Updated January 2025* Written by: [James Hills](https://menwhoblog.com/james-hills.html) Last Updated: 21 January 2025 Top BlogHits: 3983Reading time: 02:35 Bourbon enthusiasts have a compelling new option with All Nations Kentucky Straight Bourbon. This latest release from Garrard County Distilling Co. brings an innovative approach to whiskey crafting. Rather than following the traditional single Master Distiller model, All Nations employs a panel of four whiskey experts, each bringing decades of experience from renowned distilleries like Jim Beam, Barton, MGP, and Bluegrass. This collaborative approach results in what they call a "community whiskey," positioned at an approachable $39.99 price point. Since opening in January 2024, Garrard County Distilling Co. has established itself as a significant force in Kentucky bourbon production. The distillery already houses more than 32,000 barrels of new make in their Lancaster rickhouses, demonstrating their commitment to substantial production while maintaining craft quality. ### GrillBox 2.0 Review: Solid Build, Assembly Frustrations, and Why I Still Recommend It The GrillBox 2.0 keeps grilling gear organized and protected year-round. 18-gauge steel construction, adjustable storage, and 360-degree wheels.

The complexity comes from three distinct mash bills, combining varying levels of corn, rye, and malted barley to create a sophisticated flavor profile. This 96-proof bourbon is aged in #4 alligator char barrels across various Kentucky locations before final aging at the new Garrard County Distilling Co. facility in Lancaster. The process utilizes limestone-rich water from the historic Lancaster Public Spring aquifer, flowing since 1776 – connecting this modern bourbon to Kentucky's rich distilling heritage. ## The All Nations Whiskey Collection The Garrard County Distilling Co. crafts three distinct expressions of All Nations, each showcasing different aspects of Kentucky bourbon while maintaining the brand's signature balance of rich sweetness and complex spice. ### Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey - **Tasting Notes**: Aromas of sweet spice and dry leather blend with clove, revealing Madagascar vanilla and toasted turbinado sugar.
