Built from barrels bought at 8 to 15 years old, never younger.
We don't distill and we don't warehouse barrels, so there's no young whiskey we have to move. We only buy barrels that are already mature, then take our time with the blend, which is half the battle with good bourbon.

Ten years ago, you could stand in a liquor store, read a number on the label, and know roughly how old the bourbon in the bottle was. Plenty of bottles under $100 still had one.
Then demand outpaced barrels. Distilleries had whiskey in the rickhouse that wasn't old enough yet, and a business to keep running while they waited for it to catch up. So the age statements came off. Quietly. No press release. Very Old Barton lost its age statement around 2013. Elijah Craig followed around 2015 and 2016. Knob Creek did the same.
Nobody called it a downgrade. It just happened between one label redesign and the next. You kept paying the same price, sometimes more, for a bottle that used to tell you something and now just asks you to trust it.
That's the decade this bottle was built against. We don't distill, so there's no young whiskey we're waiting on and no reason to soften anything. Every barrel in this blend was bought after it turned 8. The oldest made it to 15.
It comes down to what we don't own. We don't have a still. We don't have a rickhouse. That changes which barrels we're allowed to buy, and it lets us put our energy where it counts: selecting and blending them.
A distillery has fixed costs running every day. It has to sell what's aging right now, not just what's ready. We don't have that clock.
Every barrel in a warehouse costs money in insurance, evaporation, and space. That cost pushes distilleries to bottle young. We don't carry it.
We select barrels that have already hit 8 to 15 years. If a barrel isn't there yet, we don't buy it. There's no younger stock we're stuck moving instead.
Here's everything we disclose, laid out so you can verify it instead of taking our word for it.
| Distillery | MGP, Lawrenceburg, Indiana |
| Mashbills | 21% rye and 36% rye, blended |
| Component ages | 8 to 15 years, no barrel bought younger |
| Proof | 99 (49.5% ABV) |
| Batch | Hand-marked, bottle numbered |
| Blended and bottled | Holland, Michigan |
| Nose, per the label | Butterscotch, fig, nutmeg |
8 to 15 years is a range across components, not one barrel. The youngest barrel in the blend is 8 years old, so the floor is real, not rounded up.
Word for word, from Drinkhacker, Wine and Whiskey Globe, and the bourbon subreddits.
“Thick and viscous. Wow. Absolutely delicious. Oak, dried fruits, and vanilla dance on the tongue to close things out.”
“The mix of creamy fruitiness and tannic oak really gives you everything you want in one sip.”
“Batch 3 is one of my top few bourbons that I've ever had in my collection. Incredible.”
“This is a unique bourbon in its combination of complexity and concision, managing to stick the landing on the precise line between robust and elegant.”
“The aroma is fairly classic for well-aged MGP, with exotic, older wood notes, crème caramel, and black cherry.”
“Fans of MGP-distilled bourbons will find plenty to like here.”

This gap exists because barrel inventories are elevated industry-wide right now. That's today's supply picture, not a guarantee for next year.
Maybe you're not the one drinking it. Maybe you're shopping for the guy who already owns a shelf of bourbon and rolls his eyes at a label that leans on a story instead of numbers.
Give him something he can check instead of something he has to trust. He can look up the distillery, the mashbills, the ages. If he wants to argue with the claims, let him. They hold up.
$89.99. Ships with the batch number he'll probably look up before he even opens it.
