Age: 13 Year

Double Oaked: Ex-American Single Malt barrel

Proof: 109.4 proof

Mash bill: 95% Rye 5% Malted Barley

Tasting Notes: A rare rye that breaks convention, this 13-year-old MGP 95/5 was finished in American single malt casks to stunning effect. Instead of smoky or heavy malt character, the finish brings a burst of brightness—juicy stone fruits, hints of orchard freshness, and a funky vibrancy that dances across the palate. Layers of mature rye spice are still present, but softened and lifted by the fruity influence, creating a whiskey that feels both familiar and refreshingly unexpected.

About: Dark Arts is a blending, rebarreling, and finishing house in downtown Lexington, Kentucky, with a process that is anything but ordinary. Inspired by the alchemists of old, our Master Blenders wield underutilized maturation and blending techniques to transform wood, fire, grain and water into liquid gold. Using equal parts mastery and belief in the unknown, we procure high-quality ingredients, create custom blends, and age them in unconventional barrels to craft unique and elevated whiskeys.

In the heart of the bourbon industry, where tradition and heritage thrive, our founders embarked on a quest for something more. As whiskey enthusiasts, they were excited by the industry's rapid growth but sensed a void—an untapped magic waiting to be unleashed. Their journey began with a revelation: the art of whiskey making is not just science, but an alchemical fusion of flavors and possibilities. Driven by a passion for elevating the role of Master Blenders to artists, prioritizing taste, and defying convention, Dark Arts Whiskey House was born.
