What Defines This Bottle
Single Barrel
Whiskey drawn and bottled from one individual cask rather than mingled across many; a bottling method, not a mash bill or flavor profile of its own.
A bottling choice, not a production step upstream of it -- the whiskey ages and is distilled the same way as the distillery's other releases, then gets pulled from one specific barrel rather than blended with others before bottling. Bottle matches here come from a bottle's own name explicitly naming it a single barrel release, not an independent barrel-count field -- see this style's own Explore Bottles section for that caveat. See Rickhouse Science for how a barrel's own floor level and rick location can make one single barrel taste different from its neighbors.
Learn about Single Barrel →Age
This bottle carries no single stated age. Federal labeling rules only require an age statement when a whiskey is younger than 4 years, so a bottle without one may be genuinely young or simply old enough that stating it became optional.
Does No Age Statement Mean It's Young? →Mash Bill (Grain Bill) The recipe of raw grains milled and cooked for fermentation, defined by its dominant grain -- corn for bourbon, rye for rye whiskey. Learn more
Standard Beam Bourbon: 77% Corn, 13% Rye, 10% Malted Barley
