Outsiders Spirits’ Whiskey JYPSI has announced the limited release of their third whiskey, Whiskey JYPSI Legacy Batch 002: The Alchemist. It is the company’s second release in the brand’s Legacy Series, which blends rare whiskeys in limited batches that cannot be replicated.
The Alchemist builds on Batch 001’s approach of cross-category blending to create reconstructed mash bills, with 3 whiskeys – each over 10 years old – from 3 different countries, and the added element of a triple-barrel finish for the rye. All reconstructed into a 114.3 proof high-rye mash bill.
60% of the blend is an 11-year-old corn whiskey from Tennessee aged in re-charred American oak barrels. 36% of the blend is a Canadian rye aged in ex-bourbon casks for 18 years. The liquid is then segmented into thirds and finished for 6 months in either port, Spanish vermouth, or sherry barrels. The last 4% of the blend is a rare, 10-year-old 100% Indian single malt matured in the country’s high temperatures and humidity.
“When I write a song or put a band together, a lot of times you think – do all these things really work together? And you don’t really know until you get on stage,”said Outsiders Spirits Founder Eric Church. “The same is true with making whiskey. You have ideas, but don’t know until you try them. But we’ve found out…the more fearless we are, the better our whiskey is. ‘The Alchemist’ is the perfect representation of that fearless spirit, and I’m really proud of where we’ve landed.”
“We called Whiskey JYPSI’s Legacy 002 ‘The Alchemist,’ because Alchemists took unexpected elements and tried to change them into gold – turn them into something greater,” added Outsiders Spirits whiskey maker Ari Sussman. “That’s the job of a good whiskey blender. You start with high-quality ingredients and hopefully create something that’s even greater – more than just the components.”
Whiskey JYPSI’s Legacy Batch 002: The Alchemist is available for a limited release both online and at and in select liquor stores across Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida for $199.99.
