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.

Standard Bourbon Recipe: 72% Corn, 18% Rye, 10% Malted Barley
