Whiskey JYPSI Explorer Bourbon

Description

The Explorer Series continues sourcing the highest quality whiskeys and ingredients while finishing with combinations of distinctive and exceptional woods from around the globe. Led by whiskey maker Ari Sussman, the inaugural Explorer release starts with a blend of two six-year-old bourbons – a low rye distilled in Kentucky and selected for its sweetness and an Indiana high rye chosen for its spice. The combined mash bill of 66% corn, 30% rye and 4% malted barley is then slowly reduced to 103 proof and finished using two oak varietals – French Oak from France’s famed Forest of Tronçais and American Oak from the Appalachian Mountains. Each of these woods was chosen for its ability to accentuate the sweetness and spice of the blend. Aromas of caramel, vanilla bean, leather and forest. Full-bodied and structured, with a balance of tannin and rich viscosity. Notes of dark, dried fruit, graham cracker, cigar box and woodshop. The dry finish lingers with vanilla and oak.
