Lavish and opulent: one of the best Bourbons ever.

Orphan Barrel Whiskey distillery has a special mission: finding the rarest, the most exclusive and the most ritzy barrels of Whiskey around. They then lock the Spirits into their bottles and offer limited-edition first-class potions for us to lose our collective minds. It's a Diageo endeavor and they found some fantastic ultra-fancy Whiskeys in the last few years.

One of the treasures hidden away in an old Stitzel-Weller warehouse was also this Orphan Barrell they named Rhetoric 24YO Bourbon. It was originally made at the historic Bernheim Distillery in Louisville and left to mature slowly for two dozen years. Now, it's the flagship of the series, a beautiful old-school mash bill heavy on corn with only tiny amounts of barley and rye - just for flavor. The flamboyant old aristocrat shines on the palate. It explodes and with its heat, it brings lavish and long-lasting flavors of sweet vanilla and spicy cinnamon.

Our verdict? Quite possibly one of the best Bourbons ever made!
