Batch 1 was a limited release bourbon, distilled in 2009, bottled in 2017, made by MGP, and bottled by dumping together full-proof single casks. The operation took all 20 casks of the high-rye bourbon produced in this particular batch–3,358 bottles. The entire run is sold out and no longer available in retail stores.

This version, 2.0, was a 13 year indiana bourbon sourced from MGP Ingredients (one of the largest whiskey and grain producers in the world) bottled as just a single barrel containing a total of 140 bottles, whereas every other release has had at least 1500 bottles. There’s no shortage of rye on the nose, giving this bourbon an intense spice character from the start, pushing forward notes of clove, cinnamon, ample barrel char, and some gentle mint notes that grow in strength the longer the whiskey’s in the glass. There’s a lightly rolling, toasty grain character on the palate, and lots more chocolate here than expected. Though bottled at over 55% abv, the whiskey drinks beautifully without water, lush (but racy) on the palate with notes of scorched citrus, caramel, vanilla, and more of that gentle barrel char lingering on the finish.
