“Transparent two-mash MGP blend at 92 proof — Hirsch's labeled gateway bourbon”
Tasting notes
- nose
- caramel, baking spice, vanilla with high-rye dash adding lift and orange-oil brightness over the softer 21% rye core
- palate
- approachable — brown sugar and vanilla into baking spice and light oak; ~6% older high-rye seasons without dominating
- finish
- clean spice and caramel with short-to-medium oak fade
Mash bill
A blend of several whiskeys, so no single grain split.
Two-MGP blend published per batch: typically ~94% of a 75% corn / 21% rye / 4% malted barley bourbon plus ~6% of a high-rye 60% corn / 36% rye / 4% malted barley component. The dash of older high-rye is the seasoning — Horizon's grain story is blend architecture, not a single mash.
