Age: 12-Years old

Proof: 100 proof

Mash Bill: Corn/Rye/Malted Barley

Source: Distilled in Indiana; Bottled in Kentucky

Tasting Notes: Just beautiful smelling whiskey. Antique oak, old leather, rich vanilla custard, white pepper, and layers of perfumed fruit - the nose on this one is fitting for the bottle design.

The palate is a continuation of everything from the nose - silky, candied, sweet and nuanced. There’s plenty of sugared grape and blueberry notes moving into raspberry. The spice is present but harmonious, while lemon-lime soda syrup, vanilla bean, and sweet aged oak continue on.

The finish is effervescent - tingling like pop rocks with plenty of leather, sweet oak, freshly brewed coffee, ground ginger, and flat cream soda.

About: It’s a long walk from the barrel to the bottle, a journey that takes insight and confidence to navigate. Along the way, there are many forks in the path that can greatly change the outcome of the final pour. Every decision in the process is a chance to demonstrate a command of control. When each step moves in rhythm, it’s no walk at all, it’s Swagger.

For this first release, we chose the high standard of BiB. This release is 12 barrels of 12-year-old MGP bourbon, Bottled in Bond for complete transparency to produce an elegant and deliberate pour. Experience beats luck every time.
