Jypsi - Explorer Series Whiskey Release 1
Our all-new Explorer Series is based on the harmony of unparalleled six-year aged whiskeys and unique finishing woods from around the globe. Perfectly paired to showcase the impact of the woods on the whiskey — from premium versions of common woods to the exotic — and beautifully marries our passion for whiskey with our spirit of exploration.
The inaugural Explorer release starts with a blend of two six-year-old bourbons — a low rye distilled in Kentucky and selected for its sweetness and an Indiana high rye chosen for its spice. The combined mash bill of 66% corn, 30% rye and 4% malted barley is then slowly reduced to 103 proof and finished using two oak varietals — French Oak from France’s famed Forest of Tronçais and American Oak from the Appalachian Mountains. Each of these woods was chosen for its ability to accentuate the sweetness and spice of the blend.
Nose: Soft buttercream, honey, apples, cinnamon and baking spice. Pleasant oak, toffee, nice sweetness and structure.
Taste: Moderate mouthfeel, nice structure and pleasant oak. This is proofed well and drinks easy at 103 proof. Pears, apples, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar. Decadent palate, light on the oak. Opens up nicely with lots of almond, nutmeg and baking spice.
Finish: Caramel, baking spice and toffee, pleasant baked apple and spice once more.
