Rhetoric 20 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon 750ml
Orphan Barrel Rhetoric 20 year old Kentucky Straight Bourbon is an example of how maturation brings true uniqueness year after year. Composed of a mash bill containing 86% corn, 8% malted barley, and 6% rye, Rhetoric is bottled at 45% ABV and released in limited quantities. With a smooth leathery nose layered with simmering cinnamon and caramel, this exceptionally crafted whiskey satisfies your senses further with a candied, smoky palate woven with hints of cherries, chocolate, and sliced apples. Purportedly derived from barrels found in the famous Stizel-Weller warehouse, Orphan Barrel Rhetoric 20 year old Straight Bourbon was originally distilled in 1994 and is part of the acclaimed Orphan Barrel Project. A bold contender for top dog in any whiskey collection, this aged masterpiece is high-proof quaffability at its finest!

About the brand
Designed to uncover some of the whiskey world's rarest hidden treasures, Orphan Barrel is the brainchild of world-renowned liquor magnate Diageo. A truly unique project that sources 'forgotten' or 'abandoned' batches and barrels that distilleries may have left behind or not released for production, Orphan Barrel locates ultra-aged American whiskeys from some of the most famous distilleries around the USA and reinvents their release. Whether it's the spectacular Lost Prophet 22 Year Old, originally distilled at George T. Stagg Distillery, or the scintillating Rhetoric 23 Year Old, which was partially matured at the old Stitzel-Weller Distillery, Orphan Barrel unearths some of the most beautiful and complex 'orphaned' bourbon whiskeys that the United States has to offer, giving them new homes where they can be enjoyed rather than lost in time.

Nice. Initial pour was nice but tasted even better after being open for a couple weeks.
