What Defines This Bottle
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 Bourbon Recipe: 72% Corn, 18% Rye, 10% Malted Barley
