Hidden Barn Releases Series One Bourbon: The Slow Fade Batch
Hidden Barn has announced the latest release in its Series One Bourbon line: The Slow Fade Batch.
The tenth release in the Series One line, Slow Fade is a blend of barrels distilled by Royce Neeley using his flagship 70% corn, 20% rye, and 10% malted barley mashbill. The spirit in these barrels was double pot distilled after fermenting with wild-crafted Appalachian yeast in open cypress fermentation tanks. After aging for five to six years, the barrels were blended by Jackie Zykan and bottled at 106.5 proof (53.25% ABV) with only sediment filtration.
Jackie Zykan describes Slow Fade as “Very well balanced, with brown butter, black cherry, and a bit of orange zest on the nose. Dark cacao and hazelnut lead the palate and the mouthfeel is perfectly viscous. The sweetness slow fades on the finish, rounding out with balanced warmth and clean longevity.”
Hidden Barn Series One Bourbon: The Slow Fade Batch carries a suggested retail price of $79.99 and is available at the Neeley Family Distillery in Sparta, KY, online, and at retailers in California, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, New York, Nevada and New Mexico.
