Bourbon Barrel Foods Imperial Double Fermented Bluegrass Soy Sauce is a handcrafted small-batch soy sauce made in Louisville, Kentucky using regional Bluegrass ingredients and traditional fermentation techniques. Crafted with non-GMO soybeans from Marion County, Kentucky soft red winter wheat, solar-evaporated sea salt, yeast, and limestone-filtered spring water from Bardstown, this premium soy sauce delivers deep umami richness and layered complexity.
The fermentation process is enhanced by Kentucky’s naturally humid Bluegrass climate, helping create an ideal environment for koji development and flavor formation. After fermentation, the soy sauce is aged inside reclaimed bourbon barrels where it absorbs subtle bourbon character, smoky oak notes, and the rich essence of charred American oak barrels.
This Imperial Double Fermented soy sauce offers bold savory flavor with remarkable balance and depth, making it perfect for marinades, grilled meats, sushi, vegetables, stir fry, sauces, noodles, rice dishes, and gourmet finishing applications.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
