Process & Profile

Batch 12 is composed of 86% corn, 13% rye, and 1% malted barley. At its core is a 16-year-old corn whisky that spent an additional 11 months maturing in heavy-toast, Char #2 new American oak, developing a distinctive profile of rich vanilla, toasted sugars, and subtle savory character. Additional mature corn and rye whiskies, aged in carefully selected new oak casks from multiple cooperages, contribute layers of caramelized sweetness, baking spice, and structured oak, creating one of Found North's most expressive releases to date.

Appearance

Deep amber with rich copper highlights, displaying excellent viscosity and slow, oily legs that reflect its age and cask-strength concentration.
