Description
Two separate mash bills go into this 4-year-old small batch bourbon, both entering the barrel at 125 proof. One is built on 72% corn, 13% rye and 15% barley; the other shifts the balance to 52% corn, 38% rye and 10% barley. Fifth-generation Master Distiller Drew Kulsveen selects and marries the barrels, and bottling proof moves from batch to batch depending on how each set of barrels tastes. This 750 ml bottle is 62.5% ABV.
The first sip leans sweet, with corn out front, then cinnamon and a light touch of rye spice behind it. Nothing reads grainy or rough — the two mash bills sit together smoothly. The high-rye component is easy to pick out, but it never takes over, which keeps the whole pour in balance.
