From the distiller:
Over the past few years, we have set aside a selection of our oldest barrels. Upon identifying a magnificent range, we began a meticulous blending process to create the next edition of The Vaults. True to Widow Jane, these barrels were married together only ever in hyper small batches. The result is a bourbon unparalleled in its complexity, yet rarer still for its age. This luxuriant whiskey, once married, was then finished in barrels raised with four-year air-seasoned Chinquapin oak. The finishing barrel’s oak staves were air seasoned for at least 48 months. The track of timber from which this Chinquapin was harvested hails from Northern Kentucky, on a limestone rich shelf, providing ideal soil nutrients and conditions for this rarer species to grow.
