The Blending Bourbon
Before POND FORK Bourbon was ever poured for a guest, it was poured into another distiller’s barrel.
Sold by the barrel, not the bottle — to distillers, not bartenders — POND FORK was a blending bourbon, built to be added into other whiskeys to improve them. Not unlike how certain wine varieties are grown and sold to winemakers to round out and elevate a final blend, POND FORK Bourbon was made for makers. Its whole reason for existing was to make someone else’s whiskey better.
It earned its place in the industry more than a century before it ever had a bottle of its own.
