Arrow Point Four Grain Blended Whiskey

Arrow Point is Bainbridge Organic Distillers’ first entry into the world of blended whiskies. Master Distiller Keith Barnes' goal was to return “blended whiskey” to a place of respectability and genuine consideration by modern whiskey drinkers. He was inspired by old bottles in his collection, which included blended whiskies made just after Prohibition and into the 1950s, where distillers blended 60% fully aged, high-quality whiskies with neutral grain spirit to craft a high-quality whiskey that could hold its own against anything available at the time. For Arrow Point, the Master Distiller selected a base of his own six-year-old light whiskey (whiskey aged in a barrel used once before) made from organic soft white wheat to blend with his own multi-award-winning whiskies aged 5+ years made from organic corn, rye, wheat, and barley. More than 20 recipes were trialed, but only one was selected for its balance of fruit, grain, and spice notes, pleasant weight, and measured and balanced wood notes. The final blend was allowed a month in stainless steel blending tanks to “marry up” before being diluted to the prescribed 90 proof and bottled in-house. Bainbridge Arrow Point Four Grain Blended Whiskey is a thoroughly modern whiskey, designed for those who enjoy full-flavored, authentic whiskey, but takes its inspiration from the great blended whiskies of the past—celebrating craft and quality above all else.
