About the brand

Designed to uncover some of the whiskey world's rarest hidden treasures, Orphan Barrel is the brainchild of world-renowned liquor magnate Diageo. A truly unique project that sources 'forgotten' or 'abandoned' batches and barrels that distilleries may have left behind or not released for production, Orphan Barrel locates ultra-aged American whiskeys from some of the most famous distilleries around the USA and reinvents their release. Whether it's the spectacular Lost Prophet 22 Year Old, originally distilled at George T. Stagg Distillery, or the scintillating Rhetoric 23 Year Old, which was partially matured at the old Stitzel-Weller Distillery, Orphan Barrel unearths some of the most beautiful and complex 'orphaned' bourbon whiskeys that the United States has to offer, giving them new homes where they can be enjoyed rather than lost in time.

Frootbat Reviews - What our customers say

Ratings & Reviews (7)

The nose has some caramelized malt notes coconut and orange strip. This has an extremely brilliant flavor - it's overflowing with wood zest there's pepper yet considerably more than that there is heaps of dried ground ginger and that waits from start to long completion. It's excessively fiery yet is as hot as can be without going too far. There is some wood in the body and finish however it's far less woody than I was expecting following 26 years in a barrel. I can shockingly still get some charming malty grain notes. This is likewise very sleek and has a hearty rich body behind it. This is something exceptional I'd suggest getting a jug in the event that you can discover it without an over the top markup.

Solid whisky notes not as smooth as I was anticipating. As I would see it not worth the cost. Much better alternatives out there.
