“Barely Legal” Straight Bourbon Batch No. 14

If you are a fan of bold bourbons with rye spice, high proof, and a taste of craft / small-batch mojo — this is a very good pick. The mash bill alone makes it stand out.

Mash bill: 51% corn, 39% rye, 10% malted rye. The name “Barely Legal” refers to hitting just the minimum 51% corn requirement for bourbon.

Age: It’s a small-batch blend of barrels aged about 6–8 years.
