Meticulously blended to replicate and honor the tasting notes and profile preferred by John Wayne using his original recipe from 1962 and his private collection to guide flavor and aromatics. A proprietorial mash bill of predominately American bent corn with additions of rye with sixth-row barley. Distilled and aged in Kentucky the old fashioned way, in small batches and aged in heavily charred new and hand built American oak barrels. A unique blend of 88 proof, aged a minimum of 5 years in barrels hand selected for perfection. 75% American dent corn / 13% rye / 12% sixth-row barley. Distilled and bottled in Owensboro, KY, at O.Z. Tyler Distillery.
