This is a bourbon distilled by me. 48% abv, aged in smaller barrels, and depending on batch number could be 10G (early batches) or up to 30G (later batches). I used Barrel Mill char 3 barrels and a 51/34/15% corn/rye/barley mashbill. It was fully understood (by me) and conveyed, in detail, that both the Red Saw rye and bourbon were young small barrel aged whiskies. As such, you don't achieve much esterification and "aging" on oak. Instead its more of an "infusion" of oak flavors over a shorter period of time. Less refined, less mature, and disjunct between whiskey and barrel flavors. An unfortunate necessary choice for a young distillery. This bourbon was aged in 53G barrels along side the smaller ones, unfortunately it did not see commercial release prior to the distillery closing in 2020. Batch 1 Tasting Notes: -Nose: corn, spicy, hot ethanol -Mid Pallate: corn, black pepper, ethanol -Finish: subtle oak, sweet cherry, fleeting.
