Using a mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley, Statesman undergoes an intricate production process in Louisville, Kentucky. The whiskey is aged in charred new American oak barrels, specifically selected from the warmest parts of the warehouse. This strategic aging imparts a rich complexity by accelerating the interaction between the spirit and the barrel.\n\nAt 95 proof (47.5% ABV), Statesman strikes the perfect balance between intensity and smoothness, making it approachable while still offering depth and character.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e A Symphony of Flavors\n\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-6\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enticing aromas of caramel, oak spice, raw vanilla, and devil's food create an inviting first impression.
