Mash Bill: 60% Corn, 36% Rye, 4% Malted Barley

Bottle count: 174 bottles
Tasting Notes: Sweet, savory, and spicy; this connoisseur’s bourbon is not for the faint of heart. There is a funky backbeat to this whiskey, showing aromas of browned butter, dried papaya, and cured oak. The wafts of alcohol that permeate are quickly overpowered by fresh caramel, butterscotch, and tropical fruits like calamansi and green plantains. The palate is alive and intense with a chewy texture and a mouth-watering spicy finish that leaves you buzzing and wanting more.
About the product: HODL is a pair of single barrel straight bourbon whiskies, Barrel #20 & Barrel #22, each aged for 8 years. They were distilled at MGP in Indiana from a mash bill of 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley. Each barrel was bottled by hand, gravity fed with no filtration to preserve the original character and texture of the spirit. Both barrels were bottled at cask strength and then rested in glass for six weeks before being released.
These barrels spent their first 5 years aging in Indiana, before being brought to the Bay Area for another three years. Barrel #22 spent its final 18 months finishing in a California Cabernet barrel. They were bottled on June 1, 2023.
These casks were acquired at the same time as our previous release, Mystic Oak. Barrel #20 was my favorite of all the casks from that lot. It lends a nice contrast to #22, which together plays off the duality that is represented in the artwork.
