This is the second release from Whiskey JYPSI, the brand founded by country music artist Eric Church's company, Outsiders Spirits. Whiskey JYPSI Explorer is a blend of two 6-year-old bourbons: a low-rye Bourbon distilled in Kentucky and a high-rye bourbon made in Indiana. Bottled at 103 proof, Explorer bears a total mashbill of 66% corn, 30% rye and 4% malted barley. The bourbon was finished using staves made of American oak (Quercus alba) sourced from the Appalachian Mountains and French oak (Quercus robur) from the Forest of Tronçais. The first JYPSI release was dynamite, so we're excited to check this one out — especially considering the cost. JYPSI's first release, Legacy, was priced at $199.99, and Explorer is much more affordable at $69.99.

  • By Nino Kilgore-Marchetti
  • The Whiskey JYPSI Explorer Series is a respectable bourbon blend that is interesting enough to be noted but not interesting enough to be top-billing on a whiskey list.

House Review
  • 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.

  • Overall:

    Great stuff and a great follow-up to the first Whiskey JYPSI release at a price and proof that makes it an easy drinker for whiskey fans — regardless of their musical tastes.
