This is a blend of both high rye and wheated mash bills, bottled in 2012. The rye mash bill dominates the flavor; and the wheated mash bill adds smoothness and balance. It is a no-age-statement bourbon, but likely matured for 11 years. This whiskey's "official" price was $80 at release. However, it was going for several hundred dollars shortly after hitting the market. Photo courtesy of Heaven Hill.
