Orphan Barrel Rhetoric 24 Year Old Bourbon
As with earlier incarnations, the Rhetoric 24 Year Old, according to those behind it, is designed to showcase year over year what an older bourbon expresses itself as during its continued time in barrel. This experiment previously had an end date in mind – 2019 as a 25 year old – but now that future is not quite as clear as Diageo seems to have dropped the reference. The spirits giant now appears to be speaking of it as a more annual release, being “progressively aged and re-released annually at a year older.” Does that mean we might one day see a 30 year old Rhetoric?
