Description

The Orphan Barrel range aims to bring to light rare and nearly forgotten whiskies that lurk in the back of rickhouses and distilleries. Old Blowhard 26 Year Old Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey was sourced from the fabled Stitzel-Weller Distillery, situated in Louisville, Kentucky. It was crafted from a mashbill of 86% corn, 8% barley and 6% rye and matured in new, American oak casks. Bottled in 2014, it was the first release in Diageo's Orphan Barrel Series.
