According to the creators of the Orphan Barrel collection, The Gifted Horse was an accidental blend. It?s comprised of 51% 4 year old MGP bourbon, 38.5% 17 year old Bernheim bourbon, and 10.5% 4 year old MGP corn whiskey according to the company?s press release. This is the seventh release in the Orphan Barrel line and the first without a double digit age statement. The actual age of the whiskies used are a blend of 4 year old bourbon & corn whiskey along with a 17 year old bourbon. The simple fact that this is an error means that it is extremely unique. It?s not exactly common for a major whiskey company to mix corn whiskey into aged bourbon stock.
