Whiskey JYPSI just announced its newest expression, Tribute Double Barreled Bourbon.
It’s fourth release to date, Tribute is an 86 proof straight bourbon whiskey aged a minimum of 4 years and double-barreled in new American Oak. Once the mash is distilled and aged at least four years in charred new American Oak barrels, Tribute was then proofed down and re-barreled for an additional 3 to 6 months in new American Oak.
“This is a whiskey with a price point and a flavor profile everybody can enjoy, but with the same high-quality approach we’ve taken with our other whiskeys. And that’s what we were looking for with Tribute,” says co-founder and music artist, Eric Church. “With Tribute, we’re also honoring and working with small communities and local farmers to make this whiskey… I’m from Appalachia, so I love the small-town and artisanal element. And it’s those points of differentiation that, to me, make a major difference with people who drink whiskey.”
What also makes the blend unique is the source of the grains. Whiskey JYPSI whiskey maker Ari Sussman said, “Instead of using commodity grains from large commercial farming operations for efficiency, the company contracted with small family farms willing to grow more flavorful, varietal-stated grains specifically intended for making whiskey. These sustainably raised grains for Tribute include a variety of the once-sacred Cherokee White Corn.”
Whiskey JYPSI Tribute Double Barreled Bourbon is available now for $44.99.
