Our longest aged whiskey release to date. 2022 Gold Medal Winner, San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Our standard bourbon mashbill of 65% corn, 23% rye and 12% malted barley. A select few barrels were allowed to rest 6.5 years to reach their full potential. The resulting whiskey is a delicate integration of our rich, pot still bourbon; the baking spice, cherry and sweet corn notes balanced with the deep barrel tones of vanilla, dates and leather.

Bottled-in-Bond has a higher production standard than single-malt Scotch and more protective rules than Cognac. It must come from a single US distillery and be the product of a single distilling season. Bottled-in-bonds whiskies must also be aged for at least 4 years in oak barrels, in a federally bonded warehouse, bottled at 100 proof and contain no additives whatsoever.

These regulations are a throwback to the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 which was lobbied for by Colonel E.H. Taylor, a crusader for higher quality standards in American whiskey. At the time, many producers were releasing un-aged grain whiskies flavored with additives like tobacco and caramel food coloring. Producers were even found to include dangerous additives like iodine, lye and ammonia.
