Rising Tide Spirits

Release number 4 from Rising tide spirits consists of 4 different variations. 

This variation of the highly limited and sought after release sees the return of old swagger bottled in bond straight bourbon, however this time a full year older, at 13 years of age and 100 proof.  A gorgeous marriage of barrels from MGP out of Indiana, this bourbon has the right combination of age and proof not to mention the stunning bottle and tube.

Old Swagger 13-Year Bottled-in-Bond Straight Bourbon (4th Release)

While most bourbons peak at the decade mark, the Old Swagger 13-Year proves that a little extra time in the rickhouse can create something truly transcendental. As part of the 4th Release from Rising Tide Spirits, this expression carries the most rigorous quality guarantee in American whiskey: the Bottled-in-Bond (BiB) designation.

Distilled in a single season, aged for thirteen years in federally bonded warehouses, and bottled at exactly 100 proof, this is a "Top-Shelf" bourbon with the structural integrity of a heavyweight champion and the elegance of a classic heirloom.

The Profile: Deep Oak, Dark Sugars, and Total Balance

Thirteen years is the "sweet spot" for high-end bourbon. The corn-forward sweetness has deepened into dark molasses, and the wood tannins have evolved from a "bite" into a sophisticated, velvety framework.

• Nose: A rich, inviting opening of warm praline, Madagascar vanilla, and charred cedar. Deep notes of brandied cherries and old library leather emerge, signaling its thirteen years of patient maturation.

• Palate: Full-bodied and viscous. The 100 proof acts as a perfect carrier for flavors of salted caramel, dark chocolate, and toasted marshmallow. Mid-palate, a wave of baking spice—cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice—provides a warming complexity that never overwhelms.

• Finish: Epic and lingering. A dry, sophisticated exit of black tea, pipe tobacco, and espresso bean, rounded out by a final, sweet echo of butterscotch.

The 4th Release Legacy

Rising Tide Spirits has carved a niche for finding "honey barrels" that can withstand long-term aging without becoming over-oaked. The 4th Release 13-Year Bourbon is the crown jewel of this curation. It is a bottle designed for the celebratory pour—a whiskey that commands attention in the glass and leaves a lasting impression on the palate.

Old Swagger 12-Year Straight Rye (4th Release)

A Masterclass in Maturity. The Boldest Chapter of the Rising Tide.

In an era of young, high-speed spirits, Old Swagger 12-Year stands as a testament to the power of patience. This 4th Release from Rising Tide Spirits is a rare bird: a 12-year-old Straight Rye Whiskey that carries the prestige.

This is rye whiskey with a "swagger" that only comes from a decade-plus of dancing with the wood.

The Profile: Power, Spice, and Structural Depth

While younger ryes are often characterized by "green" herbal notes, this 12-year expression has moved into the realm of dark sugars and deep spice. The extra time in the barrel has rounded the rye’s natural "bite" into a sophisticated, warming complexity.

• Nose: An immediate, aromatic invitation of salted caramel, dark chocolate-covered ginger, and aged oak. Secondary notes of mint leaf, clove, and a hint of dusty warehouse funk emerge as it breathes.

• Palate: Full-bodied and authoritative. Expect a rich, oily texture that delivers waves of maple syrup, toasted rye bread, and black pepper. Mid-palate, you'll find a delightful transition into stone fruit—think dried apricots and cherry skins.

• Finish: Long, dry, and triumphant. The "Bottled-in-Bond" 100 proof provides the perfect heat, tapering into cinnamon stick, cigar box, and a lingering sweetness of vanilla bean.

The 4th Release Distinction

The 4th Release of Old Swagger represents the pinnacle of Rising Tide's sourcing and curation. At 12 years old, the rye grain has fully integrated with the charred American oak, creating an experience that rivals the most sought-after ryes in the country. It is a "pour-for-the-occasion" whiskey that commands respect from the first sip to the last.

The Final Pour. Exclusive Reserve Stock Release. The 4th Release Power Pair.

When the 4th Release of Old Stubborn Potstill Single Barrel Wheated Bourbon hit the shelves, it didn't just sell—it vanished. Recognized as one of the most sophisticated bourbons of the year, it quickly became a "Ghost Bottle" for collectors.

2. Old Swagger 12-Year Bottled-in-Bond Straight Rye

• The Vibe: The perfect balance of "high-rye" heat and "aged-oak" grace.
