The ex-Madeira aged rye was unruly and vivacious, requiring four separate corn components to round out the profile and give the whisky its shockingly creamy texture. To accomplish this, Found North blended in a 22 year corn component in new wood, a 23 year corn component in new wood, a 23 year corn component in ex-Bourbon, and their favorite, a 26 year corn component in Hungarian oak. Lastly, Found North used a 19 year Hungarian oak aged rye to provide Batch 008 with the spicy backbone and texture on the finish.
