Barrel #1804 • Aged 5 Years • Final 5 months spent Sonic Aging
Composing and performing a great piece of music is not unlike producing and carefully aging a great bourbon. Both take time, both take great care and practice, and both produce something worthy of a standing ovation.
In collaboration with our partners at the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Black Button has melded both great arts through an experimental process known as sonic aging. By playing a piece of music directly to the aging barrel, the pulsating sound waves agitate the bourbon making it more vibrant and flavorful. The agitator chosen for this experiment was the RPO’s own 2007 performance of ‘Rhapsody in Blue’, conducted by Jeff Tyzik and featuring piano soloist Jon Nakamatsu. Inspired by the music of George Gershwin and aged in honor of the centennial celebration of both ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ and the 100th season of the RPO.

Finished on Cherry, White Ash, & Yellow Birch staves
In this experimental release, our distillers carefully selected a unique barrel of bourbon for additional finishing with a mix of Cherry, White Ash, and Yellow Birch wood staves. Our Experimental Series allows our distillers to get creative with whiskey and experiment with different finishes, different mashbills, and different blendings, all in limited batches!
-Fresh cut wood on the nose, with undertones of subtle toffee sweetness, followed by dry spice and hints of cherry
-Tannic notes throughout with bright citrus up front, giving way to a spicy middle and finishing with cherry and brown sugar
-Quick flash of spice with lingering charred oak on the exhale; reminiscent of the end of a muddled Old Fashioned
