He married the remaining stocks of Barterhouse, Forged Oak and various Rhetoric releases with a proprietary blend to create a masterpiece that pays homage to the original releases yet possesses a distinct profile all its own. When our master blender discovered the last remaining stores of Orphan Barrel whiskies from years gone by, he thought it only fitting to share these whiskies with the world. Both of these products use a 95% rye, 5% malted barley recipe, and the Fable & Folly label mentions the "rich, creamy character of the orphaned bourbons with spicy notes of rye and pepper." Given that all of the Orphan Barrel bourbons in this release are aged 15 years or older, it's plausible that we're looking at a blend that includes 14-year-old MGP rye with 15+ year-old bourbon. Diageo has been known to source rye from MGP for a few of their whiskies, notably ryes: George Dickel Rye and Bulleit Rye. While it's not known exactly what MGP whiskey is used in this blend, we have some ideas. The label also states that the whiskey was distilled in Kentucky (represented above) and Indiana, the well-known home of MGP Ingredients. It's unknown at this time if these Orphan Barrel stocks have continued aging or if they were dumped and stored in stainless steel tanks.

The bourbons mentioned on the label were all distilled at Bernheim (now Heaven Hill) in Kentucky from the same 86% corn, 8% malted barley, 6% rye recipe: A new release from Diageo's Orphan Barrel line is on the way, according to a new TTB label approval.
