What Defines This Bottle
Small Batch
Whiskey blended from a limited, curated group of barrels; an industry term with no fixed legal batch size, describing a blending approach rather than a recipe or flavor profile.
A blending choice made at the very end of the process -- barrels are selected and married together in a deliberately limited group rather than a distillery's full, larger-scale blending vat. Bottle matches here come from a bottle's own name explicitly naming it a small batch release, not an independent barrel-count field -- see this style's own Explore Bottles section for that caveat. See Process for how the same mash bill and barrel choices upstream of this step shape what ends up in that group of barrels to begin with.
