THE BLOCK DISTILLING CO BOTTLED IN BOND FOUR GRAIN STRAIGHT WHISKEY

About this product

The Block was founded by two brothers who are both nerdy engineers, the third founder is the wife of one of the brothers is not a nerd and I feel obligated to say that, research and analyze every aspect of the process. They believe in honoring tradition while pushing the boundaries of flavor, ingredients, and guidelines. Because that is how something truly unique gets created. Different grains result in completely different flavors for the final whiskey they help create. This four grain whiskey showcases the subtle and softness from the wheat, a touch of black pepper spice courtesy of the rye, earthy sweetness contributed by the malted barley, and here’s the one that balances them all…oats. Oats are not that efficient at creating spirit due to them containing a relatively small amount of starch, however they bring so much flavor that rounds the spice, elevates the softness, and adds extra creamy complexity to the other grains. Bottled in Bond means all that delightful grain goodness esterified, reacted, and extracted oaky sweetness for a minimum of four years. The Block makes everything in house from start to finish, from milling the grain to fermentation, distillation, and barrel aging. All our whiskies spend a minimum of two years in oak barrels where the flavor compounds developed by the yeast and chosen during distillation esterify, chemically developing into longer flavor compounds. Only full size barrels offer the perfect blend of flavor, surface area, and integration of the angel's share (exposure to oxygen) needed to create the development of those rich and complex notes found in a great whiskey.
