The label and libation of Orphan Barrel's Forged Oak 15-year-old Kentucky straight whiskey weave a tale of magic, as a mystical stag emerges from a misty forest, his long tines adorned with dark vines, while ghost-like breath rushes from his flared nostrils. This bourbon is crafted from a blended mash bill of 86% corn, 7% barley, and 6% rye and aged for 15 years in charred white oak barrels, resulting in a cask strength of 90.5 proof. Aromas of aged oak and vanilla parade through a rain of caramel on the nose, while the palate enjoys tones of vintage leather-wrapped oak, sweet caramel, and cracked pepper with a hazed of smoke. The Forged Oak bourbon is a sensory experience that brings the mystical stag's tale to life.
