Orphan Barrel Gifted Horse

Yet another delightful whisky mistake... A 17 year old Kentucky Straight Bourbon was mixed with younger, 4 year old corn whiskeys while in storage at the Stitzel-Weller distillery. 

So a blend of 38.5% of the old bourbon (sourced at Bernheim before United Distillers sold it to Heaven Hill), 51% Young Indiana Bourbon whisky and 10.5% Young Indiana corn whisky, both from MGP distillery.

The reviews of the liquid are good, so it seems this may have been a serendipitous accident.

Old Taylor 6 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon 1990s

A Kentucky Straight bourbon from Old Taylor distillery, named after Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr, son of former US president Zachary Taylor.

E.H. Taylor is also referred to as Colonel Taylor due to his holding of the honourary title of Kentucky Colonel.

Old Pulteney 17 Year Old

One of our favourites, Old Pulteney 17 year old has been highly acclaimed receiving an impressive 96.5 points in the Whisky Bible.  

This was in the same year that their 21 year old received Best Whisky in the World - we personally think the 17 year old is better, but don't tell Jim.

Now discontinued and a popular drinker so we expect stocks to dry up fast. Grab it whilst you can!
