Method
Bourbon Production
- 1
Mashing
Combine 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley in a large mash tun. Add 10 gallons of hot water (around 160°F) to the grains and stir thoroughly.
- 2
Fermentation
Allow the mash to cool to about 80°F before adding the yeast. Cover the mash tun and let it ferment for 3-5 days, until bubbling ceases.
- 3
Distillation
Transfer the fermented mash into a still and heat it. Collect the distillate, ensuring to separate the heads and tails, keeping the heart of the distillate.

Barrel Aging
Pour the distilled bourbon into a new charred oak barrel. Seal the barrel and store it in a climate-controlled warehouse. Age the bourbon for at least 4 years.

Bottling
After aging, carefully empty the barrel into a filtration system to remove any solids. Bottle the bourbon at 100 proof (50% alcohol).
