Experience the tradition of Kentucky bourbon with our Kentucky Bourbon Mash Bill Kit, inspired by the grain recipe commonly associated with Buffalo Trace® Bourbon.

Built around a classic bourbon mash bill, this kit features a carefully balanced combination of corn for sweetness, rye for subtle spice, and malted barley for depth and complexity. The result is a bourbon-style whiskey profile known for its smooth character, rich grain flavor, and approachable finish.

Unlike many grain kits that only provide the grains, this package includes both High Temperature Amylase and Gluco Amylase enzymes to help maximize starch conversion and fermentation efficiency. Whether you’re new to grain mashing or a seasoned distiller, these enzymes help simplify the process and improve consistency.

To further enhance the finished spirit, each kit includes charred American oak for aging. Over time, the oak can impart notes of vanilla, caramel, toasted wood, and light baking spices, helping transform a white whiskey into a classic bourbon-style spirit.

This kit is ideal for hobbyists looking to recreate the flavor profile of a traditional Kentucky bourbon while learning the art of grain mashing and aging.
