Dark Arts Barely Legal Bourbon pushes the boundaries of what bourbon can be by using the absolute minimum corn required by law - just 51%. This "barely legal" mash bill maximizes the secondary grains (rye and wheat), creating a bourbon with exceptional spice and complexity that stands apart from traditional high-corn recipes.
Tasting Profile
- Mash Bill: 51% corn (minimum legal requirement for bourbon)
- Character: Bold, spicy with maximum rye and wheat influence
- Palate: Peppery rye spice, soft wheat sweetness, and subtle corn backbone
- Finish: Long, complex with lingering spice and grain character
What Makes It Special
By law, bourbon must contain at least 51% corn in the mash bill. Most bourbons use 60-80% corn for sweetness and smoothness. Dark Arts flips this convention, using exactly 51% corn and filling the remaining 49% with rye and wheat. The result is a bourbon that tastes more like a spicy rye whiskey while still maintaining bourbon's essential character.
This innovative approach creates a bourbon for those who find traditional recipes too sweet or one-dimensional. It's bold, complex, and proof that pushing legal boundaries can lead to exceptional whiskey. Perfect for rye lovers who want to explore bourbon's spicier side.
