Frequently Asked Questions

What makes The Compromise different from single whiskeys?

The Compromise showcases the art of blending by marrying two distinct aged whiskeys – 9-year MGP bourbon and 7-year Kentucky rye – in perfect equal proportions. This creates a complexity impossible to achieve with single distillery expressions, balancing the bourbon’s caramelized sweetness with the rye’s spicy structure.

How should I serve this cask strength whiskey?

At 122.6 proof, The Compromise can be enjoyed neat for the full intensity experience, or with a few drops of water to open up additional flavors. Its high proof also makes it exceptional in spirit-forward cocktails like Old Fashioneds or Manhattans where the whiskey character needs to shine through.
