    Founder's Find is a new series from the brand featuring rare & unusual whiskeys. Here, a 12 year-old whiskey from Tennessee had a small amount (4%) of 15 year-old Indiana bourbon added to it six years into its maturation.

Bottled at 107 proof, the first 500 bottles are available at the distillery's Harvest Release party on October 19, 2024 followed shortly after with online availability. (SRP $129.99)
