Rare Saint 5-Year Bourbon is made by Huse Culinary Group using MGP's 60% corn, 36% rye and 4% barley mash bill. The bourbon is aged at least 5 years in charred American oak barrels and bottled at 50% ABV. It sells for around $50.
This is a bourbon that coaxes enough flavor from its high-rye recipe to make it an interesting sip. It is more mellow than I expected, has great balance and goes down easy. Whatever technology was used to remove the tannins did its job and allows the other flavors to leap out on your tongue in their absence. It’s a unique experience in that regard.
