Bespoken Spirits Unveils “The Epic” in Lexington

Bespoken Spirits, Lexington’s newest distillery, proudly presents "The Epic"— a Kentucky-only release.

LEXINGTON, Ky., June 24, 2024  Bespoken Spirits invites you to experience the debut of "The Epic," a remarkable 114-proof Rye whiskey, finished with four different types of wood staves. The result is a complex spirit with notes of citrus peel, marshmallow, pumpernickel, and brown sugar. The palate is comprised of sweet hibiscus, honeydew, and stewed tomato, and leads into an epic finish of lemon sorbet and cacao. This innovative creation has already garnered the prestigious Best in Show award at the TAG Global Spirits Awards, exemplifying Bespoken Spirits’ commitment to excellence and innovation in whiskey making.
