Perhaps the most well know street in the French Quarter, the oldest district in New Orleans. This cellar-worthy blend takes its name from the colorful Bourbon Street, whose distinct blue shutters have lined the rue for years. In this equally memorable blend, bright and red Virginias are mixed with just the right amount of dark-fired kentucky and long-cut Perque, then married together with bourbon before being pressed to form an old-fashioned crumble cake. Estimated Peak: 10-15 years.
