Whiskey JYPSI Legacy Batch 002 “The Alchemist” by Eric Church is a testament to the art of whiskey blending, demonstrating a sophisticated approach to creating a unique spirit. This batch blends three aged whiskeys from three different countries, all over 10 years old, with a focus on achieving a high-rye mash bill. Each component brings its own distinctive characteristics to the blend:

1. Tennessee Whiskey (60%): Predominantly corn (84%), this whiskey is aged in re-charred American oak barrels for 11 years. The climate of Tennessee, featuring hot summers and moderate winters, influences the maturation process, contributing to the whiskey’s robust and full-bodied flavor.

2. Canadian Rye (36%): This whiskey has a significant rye content (53%) and is aged for over 18 years in ex-bourbon casks with a unique triple-barrel finish involving Port, Spanish Vermouth, and Sherry for the last six months. The moderate Canadian summers and cold winters, along with the varied cask finishes, add complexity and a rich spiciness to the blend.

3. Indian Single Malt (4%): Made entirely from barley, this single malt is aged for 10 years in ex-bourbon casks in India’s hot and humid year-round climate, contributing exotic and intense flavors to the blend.

The final product is bottled at 114.3 proof, providing a potent yet balanced profile. The blend is finalized in a blending tank, ensuring consistency and harmony among the varied components. This whiskey is a celebration of global whiskey craftsmanship, bringing together diverse aging environments, grain compositions, and cask influences to create a whiskey that is both complex and harmoniously balanced.
