Orphan Barrel Rhetoric 24 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Proper, eloquent and poetic, the exclusive Orphan Barrel™ Rhetoric 24 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the 10th release from the Orphan Barrel Whiskey Distilling Company. A beautiful whiskey aged for at least 24 years, each sip begins with the flavors of orchard fruit with a hint of allspice, which gives way to a warming, caramel and nutmeg finish. This 90.8 proof bourbon whiskey is for those who dream of walking through rickhouses to pick the choicest barrels, the ones tucked away and left sleeping and aging to perfection. Lovingly bottled by hand in Tullahoma, Tennessee, it is best served straight, either neat or on the rocks. Includes one 90.8 proof 750 mL bottle of Orphan Barrel™ Rhetoric 24 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Rhetoric stock was found in the old Stitzel-Weller Warehouses in Louisville, Kentucky and distilled in the both new and old Bernheim distillery between 1990-1993. Ten steps ahead in a dance of discourse, this slick-talking whiskey coats and compels with equal art. Shifting, ducking, and sidestepping, Rhetoric never stops moving, unhindered by principle or fact.

Distillery Information

The Orphan Barrel Whiskey Co. was started to share barrels of delicious and rare whiskey, hidden away and nearly forgotten in the back of rickhouses and distilleries.

Stories of these lost whiskeys have become the stuff of legend. Our goal is to bottle these rare, small offerings for the world to try and for you to add to your whiskey collection.

Every Orphan Barrel whiskey is hand bottled in Tullahoma, Tennessee, to ensure that these rare whiskeys are treated with the care they deserve – because some of them will only be available once. And once they're gone, they're gone forever.
