With Bourbon Hall of Famer Jim Rutledge at the helm, this expression showcases a perfect blend of innovation and heritage. Crafted from a high rye mash bill of 65% yellow corn, 30% rye, and 5% malted barley, it embodies a rich flavor profile that is both bold and smooth. Each bottle is the result of meticulous selection from only 100 carefully chosen barrels, aged to perfection in charred oak, making every sip an adventure.
