Orphan Barrel Indigo’s Hour is an 18-year-old bourbon, distilled in Indiana (MGP), aged in Kentucky, and bottled in Tennessee. This high-rye bourbon was aged for 18 years in Kentucky, possibly due to disrupted plans, before being acquired by Diageo for their Orphan Barrel series. Bottled at 45% ABV and priced at $225, it features a nose of molasses, caramel, dark stone fruit, vanilla, herbs, and pepper. The palate reveals molasses, old oak, tartness, barrel char, cinnamon, and cardamom, with a slightly astringent, oaky finish. While interesting, the release may be too oaky for some, and its high price could deter many potential buyers. Read the full article for more information.
