Whiskey JYPSI Legacy Batch 002: “The Alchemist”
Whiskey JYPSI Legacy Batch 002: “The Alchemist” blends rare whiskeys in limited, one-of-a-kind batches that cannot be replicated.
Whiskey JYPSI Legacy Batch 002: “The Alchemist” builds on Batch 001’s award-winning approach of cross-category blending to create reconstructed mash bills. This time with 3 whiskeys – each over 10 years old – from 3 different countries, and the added element of an inspired triple-barrel finish for the rye.
60% of the blend is an 11-year-old corn whiskey from Tennessee aged in re-charred American oak barrels for sweetness. With fewer tannins thanks to the re-charring, this whiskey is smoother and rounder than most from Tennessee. 36% of the blend is a Canadian rye aged in ex-bourbon casks for 18 years. The liquid is then segmented into thirds and finished for 6 months in port, Spanish vermouth, and sherry barrels for added layers of dark red fruit, raisins, and oxidized wine. The final product is a rye whose spice is brilliantly countered by deep cherry, prune and fig notes. The last 4% of the blend is a rare, 10-year-old 100% Indian single malt matured in India’s high temperatures and humidity.
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.
