Orphan Barrel Rhetoric 24 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

24 years. Rhetoric. Orphan Barrel — the oldest Rhetoric expression currently in the Wooden Cork collection, one year above the 23-year and three above the 21-year, presenting the Bernheim distillate at its most developed maturation point among the four in-stock Rhetoric expressions.

At 24 years, the Rhetoric has reached the upper range of practical Kentucky bourbon maturation — the deep leather, dark fruit, tobacco, and worn oak that extended aging produces. The one-year increment between the 23 and 24-year expressions is a meaningful step at this maturity level, where each additional year in the barrel produces more noticeable changes than at younger age statements.
