1. You have two distinct SKUs. Straight Rye Whiskey and 18th Century. They’re exactly the same mash bill (100% Malted Rye) but different barrel chars and aging profiles. - SRW is in a standard bourbon barrel. 53 gallon # 4 char aged at least 4.5 years. What I can’t see is the proof. Yours looks potentially handwritten? 97 proof is standard SRW. Anything higher would be a single barrel release. - 18th century is the same mashbill but in a toasted rather than charred barrel. And it’s slightly higher proof. It’s supposed to be a homage to early American whiskies. Pre-bourbon, pre-corn from the colonies. Think Pennsylvania, Maryland, anywhere colder than corn growing climates. - Your essay numbers are Q and S respectively. The 17th and 19th bottling of each expression respectively. - Your 18th century isn’t a low fill. In about 2015 or so we switched bottle suppliers from Vetri Speciale to O-I. The 18th is Italian glass. The SRW is Columbian. They’re similar but the shoulder is different, impacting the fill height. - Finally, I bottled both.  Previous Message |
