Welcome the harvest season with this 7-grain high malt bourbon! Batch 039 explores a wide array of flavors imparted by non-traditional whiskey grains – including malted rice, oats, and triticale.
Classically speaking, bourbon whiskey is a spirit made from four major grains: corn, rye, wheat, and barley. While these grains provide the familiar bourbon-y flavors that we all know and love, our distillers wanted to explore a completely different side of bourbon – made from a completely new ‘palette’ of flavor grains.
Aged for over 5 years in 3 different types of oak barrels, each seasoned, charred, and toasted to various lengths and levels – specifically selected to complement the characteristics of the underlying alt-grain mash bill! We chose a variety of casks that would elevate the floral and toasty flavors of raw and malted rice, the creamy notes of malted oats, and the sweet and spicy impact of malted triticale.
The result is an entirely new style of high malt bourbon worthy of exploration and your next harvest moon celebration!
