In 2013 bourbon and Tennessee whiskey were labeled the fastest growing product category by volume in the U.S. alcohol business. The Orphan bottling project was more or less an ingenious response to this boom in the whiskey industry, and an effort to accommodate the vast quantities of leftover product from their monopoly of acquisitions. <\/p>\n<p>When Diageo didn&#8217;t have a place for the acquired product in their blends, they set the spirits aside. Time transformed this new spirit into aged delicacies. In 2013, Orphan Barrel Whiskey was created by Diageo, commercializing a large stock of ultra-aged American whiskeys that it had been maturing at the Stitzel-Weller distillery in Shively Kentucky. So far Orphan Barrel has only released American whiskey, with expressions like Barterhouse, The Gifted horse, Lost Prophet, and Forged Oak, with Old Blowhard being retired in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Rhetoric 23 year old was made at the old Bernheim Distiller y and matured partially at the Stitzel-Weller Distillery. This incredible whiskey is distilled from 86% corn, 8% barley, and 6% rye this whiskey is bottled at 45.3%.<\/p>\n<p>Pick up your bottle today!                                        <\/p>\n<div class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\">\n<h2 class=\"story-subtitle\">About Bourbon<\/h2>\n<p>There are not many things more American than bourbon, and although most of it is produced in Kentucky, it can be produced all over the USA.<br \/>It must be made with at least 51% corn and bottled at 40% ABV or higher.
