When they hit 14 years of total age, Diageo had them batched up, cut to 90 proof and bottled for the next Orphan Barrel release. The story with this bottle of Scarlet Shade is much the same where barrels of rye whiskey were trucked from MGP in Indiana to the Stitzel Weller Distillery in Louisville and left to age for quite some time. The bottom line is it was a good rye whiskey and somewhat unique, but didn’t drink like a $250 bottle should. That release’s retail price was $250 and I did a review of it here. They matured there for 9 more years before Nicole Austin found them, cut the whiskey to 100 proof and bottled them up. This rye whiskey had a pretty cool story behind it that saw barrels of rye whiskey being distilled and aged in Indiana for 4 years before being shipped to Tullahoma Tennessee (where Cascade Hollow Distillery is located) and put into their warehouses. In 2021, Diageo-owned Cascade Hollow (maker’s of George Dickel Tennessee Whiskey) released a 13 year old rye whiskey in their Cascade Moon Limited Release series. But I’m here to tell you that this might be one of the bottles to avoid this year due to its poor value. It was called Scarlet Shade and the label on the outside revealed that it was 14-year-old rye whiskey sourced from Indiana and bottled at 90 proof.Īll of this sounds pretty cut and dry. In the middle of March, 2023, pictures began to surface of the newest Orphan Barrel Release from Diageo.
