Description
Old Stubborn Batch 1 106–125 Proof (53–62.5% ABV) is a highly allocated, straight wheated bourbon whiskey produced as the inaugural limited release by Rising Tide Spirits. This 2022 expression utilizes a rare pot still wheated mash bill representing legacy distillate from Smooth Ambler in West Virginia. Originally distilled on a hybrid pot still in 2012, the liquid matured for 10 years in new charred American oak within the Appalachian climate.
Master blender Ed Bley selected these specific barrels for their viscous texture and concentration of sweetness, marking the first showcase of this specific “lost” pot still profile. This evolutionary process yields a rich and complex profile of butterscotch, dark honey, and stone fruits, balanced by a deep undercurrent of seasoned oak and vanilla bean with a long, velvety finish.
