The Orphan Barrel 20 Year Old - Rhetoric is a bourbon whiskey produced by the Orphan Barrel Whisky Distilling Company. It was distilled at the Bernheim Distillery in Kentucky, USA, and aged for 20 years in oak casks. The whiskey was then bottled in 2014 at 45.0% alcohol by volume (ABV), which is equivalent to 90 proof, and is available in 750 ml bottles. Rhetoric is part of a series that explores the impact of extended aging on bourbon.
As a product of the Orphan Barrel project, which aims to release whiskey from rare and no longer operational distilleries, the Rhetoric series allows enthusiasts to observe the nuances of flavor that develop over time. The 20-year-old bourbon is part of a limited series that demonstrates the influence of prolonged maturation on the spirit's profile.
