LOUISVILLE, Ky. , April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Stitzel-Weller Distillery today announced the release of Stitzel Reserve 31-Year-Old Bourbon Whiskey, the second expression in the Stitzel Reserve collection and a rare, distillery-exclusive bourbon defined by exceptional age, intensity, and depth. Available beginning Thursday, April 30, 2026, the highly limited release will be sold exclusively on-site at Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Louisville for $3,000 per 750mL bottle, with a limit of one bottle per person.
Nearly one year after the debut of Stitzel Reserve and its inaugural 24-Year-Old release, this new expression continues the collection's focus on rare and remarkable whiskeys in the archives of Stitzel-Weller Distillery, entrusted to the care of the historic site's chief custodian, Nicole Austin, the Director of American Whiskey Liquid Development and Capabilities at Diageo. Distilled in 1992 by a historic Kentucky bourbon producer and aged on-site at Stitzel-Weller Distillery for more than three decades, Stitzel Reserve 31-Year-Old comes from just 13 barrels and offers a singular example of what extended time in oak can achieve. This whiskey was ultimately pulled from its new charred American oak barrels in 2024, reserved and bottled this year on April 28, 2026, yielding just 176 bottles.
