Class, as printed
Rye Whiskey
Mash bill, as printed
This mashbill is based on George Washington's mashbill, but is not a direct duplicate. Washington's original recipe was 60% Rye, 35% Corn, 5% Malted Barley, which was discovered by examining whiskey ledgers from 1798 and 1799. We created a variation to mellow out the spice of the original recipe by reducing the rye and corn, and adding in wheat.

How it was read
By CaskGrail's reader, from the label images; each fact is the label's own statement
Source
US TTB label approval (COLA), not a shelf listing or a release announcement

A label approval is permission to bottle. It isn't an announcement or a release date. The name on the approval is whoever applied for it, which is not always who distilled the whiskey. How CaskGrail reads labels
