Bloodlines Bourbon Archive – Bottle Information
The Bloodlines bourbon regular-label release is part of the broader LF Heritage Bloodlines family of products. These details are included to support the independent record of Bloodlines Bourbon History.
- Bottle Name: Bloodlines Bourbon
- Brand Line: Bloodlines Collection
- Age: 6–9 years (majority 6-year)
- Proof: typically ranging 92–97
- Distillery: LF Heritage Distilling (formerly Limestone Farms)
- State: Kentucky
- Category: Bourbon
- Release Type: Regular / standard availability
- Bottle & Cork: Same glass form, cork, and silhouette as all Bloodlines variants
While the other Bloodlines variants — such as Heritage 6yr with its cream label and Small Batch with its deep blue label — are more immediately visually distinctive, the regular grey-label Bloodlines occupies the foundational role in the Bloodlines lineup.
Flavor & Profile Notes (based on community consensus)
Although flavor perception varies by individual, this release is commonly described by enthusiasts as:
- balanced sweetness with restrained oak
- moderate spice with gentle herbal undertones
- less bold than Small Batch
- lighter body and slightly more approachable proof
- a daily-sipper character rather than a showcasing pour
Many collectors compare the proof and profile to the “working-class backbone” of the Bloodlines identity — not flashy, not aggressively high-proof, but familiar and reliable.
Collector Notes
Because the regular Bloodlines is the baseline expression for the series, it is often used by collectors and reviewers as a reference point against which the 6-year Heritage and the Small Batch releases are evaluated. For example:
- Bloodlines Regular vs Heritage 6yr
The Heritage expression is more mature and layered, while the regular Bloodlines is more youthful and flexible. - Bloodlines Regular vs Small Batch
Small Batch typically leans richer and heavier, while regular Bloodlines is lighter, softer, and easier to drink.
Though the bottle shape, cork, and packaging silhouette are consistent with the rest of the series, several collectors have observed minor label printing variations over time, including:
- font thickness
- subtle tree-icon coloration differences
- border saturation shifts
- microlayer background grain changes
These variations, while minor, are useful markers when attempting to track production runs. Photographic documentation assists in mapping these changes within the historical progression of the line.
Historical and Community Context
Within enthusiast circles, the Bloodlines bourbon acts as the “reference middle ground” of the Bloodlines family. It is neither the oldest age statement nor the richest proof — instead, it functions as the most approachable introduction for new drinkers exploring LF Heritage releases.
Because it draws from a 6–9 year Kentucky-only blend, enthusiasts often use this bottle to understand LF Heritage’s base character before moving up into the more distinctive offerings.
This archive page is periodically updated as new collector insights, photographic evidence, bottling irregularities, or batch records emerge. If additional production details become publicly available, this listing may expand accordingly. This archive will continue expanding as more Bloodlines Bourbon History information becomes available.
