Created by combining the best production methods for bourbon, Scotch, Irish whiskey, and Dutch corenwyn, so it doesn't quite fit into any particular category. Although the mash bill is most similar to bourbon, it is quite heavy on malted barley, and aromatically is more similar to an Irish whiskey. The distillate is aged in a variety of barrels, included used French coopered Pinot noir barrels, new American coopered whiskey barrels, and used American whiskey barrels. For each bottling, eight barrels are specifically selected to make the best possible blend. The Whipper Snapper is then aged for about one year, and the final product is hand bottled, and hand labeled.
