This blend of rare Kentucky whiskeys is one for collectors.
“As a master blender, I wholeheartedly believe that one can take individual components that are already exceptional to create an extraordinarily-beautiful end product,” said Mayville in a press release. “As with music, a clarinet can be beautiful in its own right. However, when you combine it with other instruments in an orchestra you create a symphony—a masterpiece.
Mayville’s tasting notes describe the sensation of walking into an old Buffalo Trace warehouse when you take a sip, with notes of leather, spice, dark fruit, chocolate and sweet vanilla. There are just 1,458 bottles available priced at $3,999 that will be available in October. Each comes in an oak frame with certificate of bottling and a 50-ml mini so you can taste it but not actually open your bottle if you want to hold onto it and, presumably, flip it for triple its value in a few years.
