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.

- Cooperage
- Staves are open-air seasoned for 18 to 48 months, followed by a dedicated wood-toasting process before fire-charring.
- Warehouse Notes
- Rickhouses are artificially heated in the winter to induce multiple expansion/contraction cycles into the wood each year.
