Rhetoric 20 Year Bourbon
Bourbon
Rhetoric // Kentucky, USA
The third bottle released under the Orphan Barrel label, Rhetoric is a straight bourbon and was distilled at the New Bernheim Distillery in Kentucky. The Orphan Barrel whiskeys are "found" barrels "discovered" at the Stizel-Weller rickhouses owned by Diageo.
There is talk of older, future releases of the Rhetoric so keep your eyes peeled for 21 Year, etc. to come.

Tasting Notes
"Though brown sugar is prominent on the nose, the whiskey has a masculine profile overall with leather and barrels spices shining through. The sweet and spice aspects balance nicely and that see-saw action between the two flavors as you drink is a pleasurable experience. The finish is on the bitter side, but still has a bit of mouthwatering acidity that doesn't leave the whiskey flat and encourages you to take another sip."
