01 / The Selection

An eleven-year high-rye bourbon with the structure to lead.

Barrel I was chosen to introduce the Founder's Collection with maturity, spice, and depth. The 36% rye mash bill gives the barrel a defined backbone, while eleven years in oak brings the darker, more polished character expected of a Founder's release.
