Huling station from Old Dominick was created as a homage to the 1886 whiskeys of Memphis, Tennessee. Although this bourbon is sourced from MGP in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, it’s made from a custom High Rye mash bill of 52% Corn, 44% Rye, and 4% Malted Barley. This 5yr single barrel release was bottled at 106.94 proof (uncut and unfiltered) and has a retail price of $47.99 USD.

In closing
Old Dominick Huling Station WC3 Single Barrel Bourbon is nothing short of exceptional. The 44% high rye mash bill is very unique and seems to help put extra complexity on this bourbon despite it’s 5-year age statement. There is an overall sweetness that will keep you coming back for more and more. This is arguable one of the best 5-year MGP distilled bourbons we’ve ever tried.
