Bluegrass Soy Sauce - Microbrewed, Kentucky-Aged 100 ml | Bourbon Barrel Foods

Discover Bluegrass Soy Sauce

Bluegrass Soy Sauce is the only microbrewed soy sauce produced in the United States. Handcrafted in small batches in Louisville by Matt Jamie, founder of Bourbon Barrel Foods, it uses whole Kentucky-grown Non-GMO soybeans, soft red winter wheat, and limestone-filtered Kentucky spring water. The mash ferments and ages in repurposed Kentucky bourbon barrels for a full year, resulting in a deep, smoky-brothy character with subtle oak notes and a gentle sweetness reminiscent of fine Kentucky bourbon. Each bottle carries a hand-numbered label, a nod to the boutique traditions of Kentucky spirits.
