Orphan Barrel Rhetoric 22 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Orphan Barrel Rhetoric 22 Year Old is a 90.4 Proof (45.2% ABV) straight bourbon produced as a limited release by the Orphan Barrel Whiskey Co. This 2016 expression represents the third installment in the progressively aged Rhetoric series and utilizes a distillery mash bill of 86% corn, 8% malted barley, and 6% rye. Originally distilled in 1993 at the Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, the liquid matured for over two decades within the historic Stitzel-Weller rickhouses.

This additional year of aging beyond the previous release allowed for increased wood-sugar extraction and a more pronounced tannin structure. This evolutionary process yields a rich and complex profile of dark chocolate, toasted oak, and baking spices, balanced by a deep undercurrent of honey and leather with a long, woody finish.
