Old Prentice Single Barrel Special Release is a limited-edition Kentucky straight bourbon bottled from a single, hand-selected barrel at 90 proof (45% ABV).
It pays homage to the iconic Old Prentice Distillery, the historic site in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, that helped shape American whiskey history. Curated by Corning & Company, each bottle comes from one barrel, unblended, so every barrel stands on its own.
Distilled from a traditional sour mash and aged to maturity in heavy-char new American oak barrels, it is rich, full bodied and beautifully balanced, capturing the depth of age and the character of classic Kentucky bourbon.
As a single-barrel special release, it is a collectible gift for bourbon history buffs.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
Single-barrel bourbons can vary slightly from barrel to barrel, making each bottle unique.
Sour mash uses a portion of a previous fermentation to start the next, ensuring consistency.
Heavy char on new oak barrels brings caramel, vanilla and toasted notes.
Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, has a long history of whiskey production.
A few drops of water open up the aroma.
It makes a classic Manhattan with sweet vermouth and bitters.
