Series Two brings together pot still production and generously high rye mashbill, resulting in a flavorful and complex spirit. Barrels were distilled at M.B. Roland. The mash is fermented for three-four days using Christian County, Kentucky water and industry standard yeast. It is then double pot distilled and collected at 110 proof. The undiluted distillate is then matured in wood-fired Kelvin Cooperage American White Oak barrels. Barrels rest on property, and once matured, are filtered only for sediment before bottling. Located in Pembroke, Kentucky, M.B. Roland was the founding distillery of the Kentucky Bourbon Craft Trail.

Hidden Barn Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a new brand spearheaded by master distiller Royce Neeley of Neeley Family Distillery, Nate Winegar and Matt Dankner of Denver’s 5280 Whiskey Society, and Jackie Zykan, the former master taster of Old Forester. Zykan became well known in the industry, as the driving force behind Old Forester’s flavor profile and face for their marketing for many years. She abruptly left the company after seven years and started Hidden Barn, shocking everyone at Old Forester.
