FALL23 O.K.I. Experimental Rye - The Sandman

Our third single barrel collaboration with O.K.I. is an experimental 100% rye whiskey. It was distilled by MGP, who made the Indiana-style rye (95% rye, 5% malted barley) famous. It comes from a secret lot of 20 barrels, offered exclusively to O.K.I. We were the first to select, so we know we picked the best one.

We call this one, "The Sandman" for two reasons: 1) It's the stuff dreams are made of, thanks to its unique flavor profile and viscous mouthfeel. 2) Our top opp in northern Kentucky, Brian Sand, supervised this selection. A true Friend of the Program, Mr. Sand(man) previously helped us select dreamy single barrels from New Riff, O.K.I., and Bulleit.
