Kyle’s Notes:
Since we started bottling Ben Holladay, we have always had the 5th floor as a part of the final product, and it almost has become a crutch of sorts. For this bottling, floor 5 was intentionally left out so that we could see what the batch can become with just floors 2-4.
As we’ve gone through the last year of Ben Holladay bottlings, we have tried a lot of different combinations and a lot of different average floors, and this fills in yet another piece as we try to fully understand how the bourbon ages in Rickhouse C.
Floor 3 took up the bulk of the mixture; 68% of the liquid came from these barrels. Floors 2 and 4 contributed 10% and 22% respectively. A total of 68 barrels were dumped to produce both the BiB and Rickhouse with a barrel loss of 30.2% during aging.
