Notes

It’s time to take a bourbon dive! Distillery Dive #B7: High Rye vs Wheated explores the nuances of two bold bourbons juxtaposed according to their grain compositions. These recipes, or mash bills, greatly impact what combination of aromas and flavors will come through in your glass.

Our US-exclusive cask-strength single casks were all distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana at distillery B7, and aged in new American oak #4 charred barrel with #2 charred heads (barrel top and bottom). Two unique mash bills (grain recipes) have created equally bold, yet rather different expressions bourbon lovers will delight in discovering. Cask No. B7.7 Convivial companion uses a rye component of 36% rye with 60% corn and 4% malted barley. This ‘high-rye’ bourbon takes baking spices and turns them into chili pepper spice that packs a wonderful intensity. There’s plenty of honey and vanilla sweetness from the corn and the texture carries all of these flavours along effortlessly from start to finish. Cask No. B7.13 C’est si bon! is a ‘wheated’ bourbon with a mash bill of 51% corn, 45% wheat and 4% malted barley. Sweetness abounds from two grains (corn and wheat) offering an expressive whiskey bursting with syrupy fruits, chocolate fudge, demerara sugar and a touch of citrus. Taste this dynamic duo side-by-side with your whisky-loving friends.... We trust your discovery will be an utterly delicious and richly rewarding one!

If ordered separately: Cask No. B7.7= $80; Cask No. B7.13= $65.
