A little background

Today they’re leveraging years of experience that their production team gained from working at other successful distilleries. Mythology Best Friend Bourbon is a blend of 15yr Kentucky Bourbon (78.5% corn, 13% rye, 8.5% barley), 5yr Indiana Bourbon (60% corn, 36% rye, 4% barley), and 2yr Indiana Bourbon: (75% corn, 21% rye, 4% barley).

Color

Gold

Nose

Lemon meringue, vanilla, spice, citrus, and an overall youthfulness.

Orange saltwater taffy, fudge, vanilla, and honey.

Finish

Simple syrup, toasted marshmallow, vanilla, and honey smacks cereal. The finish is medium in length and quite sweet.

In closing

Mythology Best Friend Bourbon is an overall pleasant whiskey with a wonderful sweet flavor profile. This whiskey is a unique blend of older Kentucky Bourbon and much younger Indiana Bourbon that all came together to produce a very enjoyable spirit. My guess is the majority of the whiskey that went into Mythology Best Friend Bourbon is on the younger end of the spectrum, but that’s okay seeing that it’s priced accordingly. Again, this is an overall pleasant bourbon and a great indication of the very exciting things that are sure to come from Mythology Distillery. Pick up a bottle or two, you won’t be disappointed.
