Product Description
Dark Arts Barely Legal Small Batch Cask Strength Bourbon: High-Rye Bourbon with 51% Corn and 49% Rye
Dark Arts Barely Legal Bourbon takes its name from a mash bill that sits just over bourbon’s legal minimum for corn: 51% corn, 39% rye, and 10% malted rye.
The whiskey is distilled in Indiana, then blended and bottled in Kentucky. Dark Arts states that small-batch blends typically range from seven to eight and a half years old and are bottled at cask strength around 115 proof.
The unusually high rye content gives the bourbon pronounced grain spice, orchard fruit, and herbal lift while corn supplies caramel and sweetness. Check the bottle for the exact batch age and proof.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Orchard fruit, caramel, rye spice, vanilla, and oak.
Palate: Sweet corn, peppery rye, fruit, toffee, toasted wood, and baking spice.
Finish: Long and warming, with rye grain, caramel, oak, and spice.
Food Pairings
Pair with smoked brisket, grilled steak, aged cheddar, apple desserts, roasted nuts, or dark chocolate.
Serving Suggestions
Start with a small neat pour, then add water gradually. One large cube can soften the cask-strength intensity.
