BLENDER'S STORY:
Coming off a personal high from the outcome of Ritual 5: Discovering Your Art, I felt I had done justice to making a complex bourbon expression that was wildly different than most of the bourbon I’ve tasted.
So I decided to challenge myself - selfishly - and use a majority of single malt in the next blend. I felt that if I could make something that checks the boxes for me as a Single malt enthusiast, but still hits familiar notes of Bourbon and American Rye, to get the best of all three worlds. And something that I can recreate time after time despite what components I have to switch up, then I have truly created something special.
Long story short, it worked, at least in my eyes. I’m very proud of how this first batch turned out.
