Here, our Master Distiller, Brent Elliott, describes our two mashbills and talks about the way the E mashbill and V yeast combo affects the flavor of OESV:
It is clear from tasting our Bourbons and seeing our grain recipes that rye is a big contributor to the flavor profile of all our products. We always refer to our E mashbill as “low rye,” but that is only in relation to our B mashbill.
With a rye content of 20%, our E mashbill is rye-heavy compared to most other Bourbons. While our high-rye B mashbill creates a rye impression that is unmistakable, the rye’s contribution to the E mashbill is – while still apparent – much more subtle.
OESV is the most subtle of our 10 recipes; it combines the E mashbill and V yeast strain, creating a Bourbon that’s not overly fruity, spicy, herbal or floral. Its light fruit flavors of pear and apricot balance nicely with corn and rye notes to achieve an elegant, nuanced Bourbon.
