Originally distilled in 1993 at the Bernheim Distillery from a mash bill of 86 percent corn, 8 percent malted barley, and 6 percent rye, this bourbon matured for over two decades within Stitzel-Weller's unheated, metal-clad rickhouses, an environment that intensified spirit-to-wood interaction well beyond its younger siblings in the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDistillery: Bernheim Distillery, Louisville, Kentucky (Orphan Barrel Whiskey Distilling Co.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDiscovery: Stitzel-Weller rickhouses, Louisville, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMash Bill: 86% corn, 8% malted barley, 6% rye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAging: 24 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eABV: 45.4% (90.8 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSize: 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNose: Rich vanilla oak, brown sugar, chocolate, caramel, clove, anise, and cinnamon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePalate: Orchard fruit, allspice, dark sweets, complex baking spice, and a light touch of leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFinish: Warming, with nutmeg, caramel, and honey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAged four years longer than the original Rhetoric release, this expression carries a slightly higher proof and more mature character shaped almost entirely by extended oak contact, making it a standout for collectors chasing the older end of the progressively aged Rhetoric series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does Rhetoric 24 Year Old taste like?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRich vanilla oak, brown sugar, and chocolate on the nose, with orchard fruit, allspice, and dark sweets on the palate, finishing warm with nutmeg and caramel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhere did this whiskey come from?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally distilled in 1993 at the Bernheim Distillery, then matured over two decades in the historic Stitzel-Weller rickhouses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow does this compare to the younger Rhetoric releases?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's aged four years longer than the original 20 Year release, giving it a higher proof and a more heavily oak-influenced profile than the 21 or 22 Year expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orphan Barrel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47512789123156,"sku":"OB-RHETORIC24-750","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/1691\/2212\/files\/rhetoric-24.jpg?v=1787073102","url":"https:\/\/estatesliquor.com\/products\/orphan-barrel-rhetoric-24-year-old-kentucky-straight-bourbon","provider":"Estates Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
