All 204 barrels were produced on December 13, 2015. Seventy percent of the blend is Kentucky straight bourbon and thirty percent is Kentucky straight bourbon from heavy-char barrels, fired intensely enough to leave a deep alligator char; both shares matured nine years and eight months on the fourth and sixth floors of Rickhouses G and H before blending and bottling at 107 proof without chill filtration.

Every bottle sold through Midnight Whiskey is sourced as an authentic, sealed product and inspected before it ships. Orders are packed with padded, glass-rated handling and require an adult signature (21+) on delivery; we do not ship to anyone unable to verify legal drinking age.
