Resilient Bourbon - The American Spirit
Resilient straight bourbon whisky barrels are hand-picked single barrels of quality.
We are looking for barrels that are well balanced with grain and wood. Barrels that really shine and bring some great flavors to the nose and palate. We enjoy finding these barrels, bottling them up and bringing them forward to our friends and community of whisky enthusiasts.
The label contains all the information one would want. The 53 gallon newly charred American oak barrels, where it’s bottled, barrel #, bottle #, distilled on date, bottled on date, proof and mash bill.
Quality bourbon, being transparent in the process with all the relevant information and bottled with enthusiasm, is our formula to being resilient in the ever changing times!
BOTTLED IN BOND
Bourbon (Indiana)
Aged in newly charred American oak 53 gallon barrels and bottled in bond. Char #4.
Distilled in Indiana. Bottled up in Stanford, KY. Bottled in bond at 100 Proof, 50% alc/vol after 4 years aging.
Mash bill 60% corn, 36% rye, 4% barley.
The nose has aromas of buttery toffee bar with poached pear and vanilla syrup, caramel wafer, candied cinnamon, and clove. On the palate, fruit dominates with spice underneath, making for a perfectly balanced bourbon. The finish is balanced and layered with sweet and spice slowly drifting away.
Resilient Bottled in Bond barrels are hand selected and bottled up in very small batches of maybe four barrels at a time. The High Rye mash bill 60/36/4 from MGP has a complexity to it, an extra dimension of depth that brings a viscosity to the mouth feel and wide range of flavors to the palate.

Tawny notes are towards the front here with bourbon providing balance. On the nose, raisin bread, pear butter, butterscotch, herbaceous clove, and star anise. On the palate, jammy raisin and pear notes as caramel and vanilla expand in the background alongside clove and anise. The finish is long and chewy with sweeter elements eventually outlasting a long slow fade of clove, anise, and cardamom.
