Visited the distillery today. Fairly typical of the very small craft distilleries. They produce about 60,000 gallons a year and have been sourcing their product for the last five years but are now packaging their own distillate. The young lady that was our tour guide even doubles in the labeling operation as one of the "ghosts" of productions. Nice touch!! About three years ago, I was fortunate enough to get a bottle of their 1833 single barrel, 12 year old barrel proof. It was fabulous, one of the best bourbons I've tasted. It was sourced from MGP and the label showed the mashbill and Indiana heritage. There is still a relationship between Boone County Distillery and MGP and some product on their shelf from MGP. The current small batch is very small batch as only 8-10 barrels are used. I suspect there will be fairly significant variation between batches more like single barrel. The nose was strong on oak mostly covering the sweet caramel in the background. Ice might change that a lot. On the palate it is sweet corn forward with limited burn. There is no balance. The nose says over oaked, the palate says more barrel time is needed but the lack of burn says it might settle down in a year. We were told that a six year old release will be available next year. They also have a 95% rye that was quite good, so I bought a single barrel (Number one labeled by our tour guide) release but will wait a year on the small batch.
