House Colorado distillate is commonly published at 56% corn, 38% rye, and 6% malted barley - a high-rye mountain mash. High Proof is a blend of straight bourbons: that in-house high-rye spirit plus additional high-rye bourbons sourced from Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana whose mash bills remain undisclosed. Pitch the 56/38/6 house recipe as the flavor thesis of the blend.
