The new Whiskey JYPSI Explorer series will focus on finishing these spirits with combinations of distinctive woods from around the globe. The series will feature well-aged, mature whiskeys never younger than six years old and ranging between 100-107 proof. Explorer’s inaugural release is a blend of two six-year-old bourbons – a low rye distilled in Kentucky and selected for its sweetness, and an Indiana high rye chosen for its spice. The combined mash bill of 66% corn, 30% rye and 4% malted barley is then slowly reduced to 103 proof and finished using two oak varietals – French Oak (Quercus robur) from France’s famed Forest of Tronçais and American Oak (Quercus alba) from the Appalachian Mountains. Whiskey JYPSI’s Explorer is priced at $69.99.
