A serious limited edition Bourbon with deep flavor and amazing mouth feel..

Some families talk of having a “dynasty.” The Wathen-Medley family has been distilling and aging Whiskey and Bourbon for eight generations. The current iteration of the family business came into being immediately upon the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. The Charles W. Medley Distillery in Owensboro, Kentucky, supplied most of their production to other brands and blends, but since the very beginning they have stabbed off the best casks for their house brands, Medley Bros. and Wathen’s.

For Wathen's Barrel Proof Bourbon, the good folks at Medley Bros. Distillery set aside a limited number of casks for this special release. This is the first year, and there are only 25 casks. And since this is a serious deal to them — each bottle has a different ABV ranging from 54.8% to 58.3%. The mash bill is a trade secret, but it is high in corn with barley taking the number two spot and only a small amount of rye. So, it will be a sweeter Bourbon with a good viscosity from the barley and just a hint of rye spice. Our mouth is watering already. Wathen’s is hugely popular with Bourbon aficionados already, and all of their single barrel releases sell out fast. This new, special release is widely anticipated and — if you love Bourbon — grab a bottle of this precious Bourbon juice while you can.

Bourbon matures quicker than Scotch due to higher temperatures in American warehouses.
"Remember that iconic poster from World War II showing Rosie the Riveter as a patriotic American woman doing her part for the war effort? Well, hundreds of businesses did their part too, and the Bourbon distillers stepped right up with ‘em.

Distilleries all over Kentucky and Tennessee were re-tooled to distill fuel alcohol and ferment penicillin cultures to treat wounded soldiers."
At any given time, there are more barrels of Bourbon in Kentucky than there are people. The population of the Bluegrass State is about 4.4 million. Today there are more than 5 million barrels of Bourbon sitting in the rick-houses of that Old Kentucky Home. That’s nearly 300 bottles of Bourbon per person, or about 60 gallons each.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.

Speaking of breeding winner horses, two of Pinhook’s co-founders have horseracing in their DNA. Jamie Hill and Mike McMahon continue the tradition of their families as third-generation horsemen, owning a bloodstock agency and a thoroughbred racing company. Applying that knowledge to Whiskey just made sense.
Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
