5-6 year old MGP Bourbon and 8 year old KY Corn Whiskey were blended together and aged for 3 months in toasted barrels from Independent Stave Company and Speyside Cooperage.  Those 3 months were followed by 1 month in barrels that previously held honey from Fern Valley Farms in Arkansas.  This blend of three whiskeys and two finishes created a bold, yet balanced whiskey with a sweet honey finish.
