Age: 4 Years 9 Months
Mash Bill: 64% Corn, 24% Rye, 12%
Tasting Notes: Caramel and black pepper on the nose. This is classic bourbon. Sweet and spice notes are in balance. There’s a bit of nutmeg and custard towards the back of the pallet. The finish is medium with a nice mix of oak and toasted almonds.
About: Our Rye small grain Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskeys are offered as a Small Batch, up to 12 barrels per batch, which was the result of one fermenter. The goal of the Small Batch is to capture the total essence of more complex notes from multiple barrels from distillate of the same fermenter. We’ve decided to release the Small Batch Bourbon as a Bottled in Bond so fans of our Wheated Single Barrel Bourbon can do a side-by-side comparison.
We entered the cooper select, toasted and #4 char barrel at 110 proof after coming off the still around 137 proof. Aged in both our Rickhouse A at a mid- to upper-floor and in our Rickhouse B in the center of the warehouse.
