Orphan Barrel Rhetoric 21 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Orphan Barrel Rhetoric 21 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Description
21 years. Rhetoric. Orphan Barrel — the 21-year annual release in Diageo's Orphan Barrel Rhetoric series, two increments younger than the 23-year expression, presenting the same Bernheim distillate at an earlier maturation stage in the annual progression.
At 21 years, the Rhetoric presents the Bernheim bourbon at a stage where oak integration is substantial but not yet at the deeper leather and tobacco complexity of the older expressions. Having 21, 23, and 24-year Rhetoric simultaneously in the Wooden Cork collection allows a direct three-point comparison of how maturation changes the same distillate across three consecutive age increments.
