Mashbill: 86% corn, 8% barley, and 6% rye. This was distilled by Stitzel-Weller (Buffalo Trace) & Bernheim (now Heaven Hill) and bottled by the Orphan Barrel Whiskey Company (Diageo) in Tennessee. This whiskey is similar to the Orphan Barrel Rhetoric 22-year, but very oaky - a little too long in the barrel?
