Double the fermentation for an even richer flavor. Earthy and full-bodied with notes of coffee, molasses, beef jerky, and dark chocolate. Use it like you would any soy sauce—for sushi, sashimi, or as a dipping sauce. Or use it to season dressings, broth, or noodles.

Imperial Double Fermented Soy Sauce
$20.00
Limestone-Filtered Spring Water
We use the same spring in Bardstown, KY, that distilleries use to make some of the finest Kentucky bourbon. The high mineral content of this water adheres well to the yeast, ideal for fermenting.
We like to keep things simple. Bluegrass Soy Sauce follows a traditional Japanese recipe of only five ingredients, all sourced from right here in the USA.
Yeast
There are only two strains of yeast that can make soy sauce. We mix the soybeans and wheat with aspergillus oryzae yeast to make what’s called a koji.
Non-GMO Soybeans
We use only non-GMO soybeans grown right here in Kentucky, about 45 miles outside Louisville in Marion County.
Soft Red Winter Wheat
The soybeans are mixed with soft red winter wheat grown here in the Bluegrass by the same farmer who grows it for Makers Mark.
Sea Salt
Our solar-evaporated sea salt comes from the Pacific Coast. We mix the koji in with the limestone-filtered water and sea salt to make the moromi or mash that will ferment and be pressed into soy sauce.
Just like the name suggests, our Imperial Double Fermented sauce adds a second fermentation. Instead of adding the soybean and wheat koji to the traditional brine of limestone-filtered water and sea salt, we use our Bluegrass Soy Sauce as a brine. Then we age this mash in bourbon barrels for an additional six months—an 18 month process in total. This complex fermentation process creates a flavor that’s even more full and luxurious.
Description
Bluegrass Soy Sauce is handcrafted in Louisville, Kentucky using the local ingredients of the Bluegrass state. We combine solar-evaporated sea salt with Kentucky grown soft red winter wheat and non-GMO soybeans from Marion County. The climate of this part of the state is essential because the humidity makes for higher water content in the wheat and soy.
With the combination of non-GMO soybeans, wheat, and yeast (this is called a koji), we add limestone-filtered spring water brought in from Bardstown, Kentucky. Limestone-filtered spring water is the same water used to make Kentucky bourbon. The high mineral content of the limestone-filtered water adheres well to the yeast, ideal for fermenting the mash/koji.
By law, bourbon barrels can only be used once to age bourbon. By using the barrels as an aging vessel, the soy sauce becomes infused with the essence of Kentucky's finest bourbon and the rich oaky flavors from the charred barrels. Each barrel of Bluegrass Soy Sauce ages for one year inside the barrels until it's pressed and the final product is bottled. Bourbon Smoked Soy Sauce Ingredients: water, non-GMO soybeans, wheat, salt, yeast. Umami - translated from Japanese "The 5th Flavor Sense" literally means "Deliciousness" "Yummy."
