Blade & Bow


Where it all began

The Blade and Bow story began with the founding of the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery—the cathedral of bourbon—in 1935, a Louisville icon and home to the fathers of bourbon. Named after the two parts of a skeleton key, the blade shaft and the ornate bow, 

the Blade and Bow brand is a tribute to the five keys that once hung on the door of the Stitzel-Weller Distillery. These keys represented the five steps of crafting bourbon—grains, yeast, fermentation, distillation and aging. But more importantly, they grew to symbolize the southern traditions of hospitality, warmth and enjoying the finer things in life.

Paper Plane

The Paper Plane is a modern classic that was created in 2008 in Chicago and named after a hit 2000s song. It’s a riff on the Last Word, an equal-parts, pre-Prohibition era cocktail.
