“Legent is really something special,” said Noe in a prepared statement. “As a bourbon distiller, I enjoy breaking rules and creating new traditions. It was a real honor collaborating with Shinji on what I think is different from anything out there in the bourbon world.”
“I have always been fascinated by the flavor profiles that can be achieved through innovation,” added Fukuyo. “Using the historic bourbon recipe of Fred’s family as a solid foundation, I was able to explore new taste profiles and reach a final product that reimagines what the future of bourbon can be.”

Legent is bottled at 47% ABV (94 proof) and will price at around $35 USD for a 750 ml bottle when it comes to market. It is suggested to be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or in a classic or new age bourbon cocktail. Very limited official tasting notes suggest that “on your palate it starts like a bourbon – rich, warm and oaky. Then, like a Japanese whisky, it features complex layers and a bright, smooth unexpectedly long finish.”
