A Bourbon Unlike Any Other.
Legent™ is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey partially finished in wine and sherry casks. But it's more than that. It pushes the boundaries for how bourbons can be created while remaining true to the core of bourbon's principles. It's a collaboration between two whiskey legends – Fred Noe & Shinji Fukuyo – and two unique styles of whiskey making.
Our Story Begins With Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
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
Then some of Our Bourbon is Aged in Sherry & Red Wine Casks
It’s here that Legent™ begins to pick up unique flavours from the different casks. Layers of spice and fruity undertones are imparted from the sherry caks, while the red wine casks lend Legent™ to a light tartness and help punch up the dried fruit flavours.
Through Blending, Legent's™ complex layers take shape
Shinji Fukuyo takes these distinct, secondary finished bourbons and meticulously blends them with Kentucky straight bourbon. Blending allows Shinji to balance the different flavours to consistently hit the flavour profile he and Fred originally envisioned
Together, Fred & Shinji have created a bourbon like no other.
Legent™ transcends the broader whisky category. It’s a perfectly balanced and rounded bourbon that’s also complex and layered. On your palate, it starts like a bourbon, rich, warm and oaky. Then, like a Japanese whisky, it features complex layers and a bright, smooth, unexpectedly long finish
