This Holladay Master Distiller Experimental Series Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a limited, single-lot release that highlights the art of barrel placement and extended aging. Crafted by Holladay Distillery, this expression was distilled on August 22, 2018, using a soft red wheat mash bill, known for producing a smoother, slightly sweeter bourbon character.
The whiskey was aged 7 years and 3 months in Char #3 standard oak barrels, maturing in a carefully selected location - Rickhouse B, Floor 5, Rick 11, Tier 1 - where optimal aging conditions helped build depth and complexity. Bottled from Lot 18H23/7823 at a bold 63.1% ABV (126.2 proof) in a 375 mL format, it delivers a rich, full-strength bourbon experience. Entry Proof: 118
Expect layered notes of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and warm baking spices, balanced by a gentle wheat sweetness and a long, warming finish. As part of the Experimental Series, this release captures a precise moment in time, location, and craftsmanship, making it especially appealing to collectors and serious bourbon enthusiasts.
