The latest installment in the Orphan Barrel series is the new Lost Prophet 22 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (45.05% / 90.1 proof, $120). This bourbon whiskey is what you would expect from an older barrel brew and at the same time it’s Eloquent and gentle. Unearthed after spending 22 long years biding its time in charred American white oak barrels, tucked away in a corner of the historic Stitzel-Weller rickhouses in Shively, Kentucky. Lost Prophet is a soft spoken whiskey, with aromas of honey, apricot and clove that reveal a silky, full-bodied taste with notes of spiced vanilla and a touch of leather, culminating in a sweet smoky finish.
Only a small amount of Lost Prophet exists and it will only be released once. After the last bottle has been sold, it’s gone for good, its nomadic journey coming to an end.
