Origin Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey (SRP: $44.99) will be the first year-round bourbon with a age statement of five years or more for New Holland Spirits, a craft distiller in Holland, Mich. It will be part of New Holland’s Dragon’s Milk portfolio.
Origin was distilled in the nearly 100-year-old Prohibition-era pot still at New Holland’s production site. Small batch in this case means batches of 100 barrels or fewer.
“Origin’s high-barley mash bill and five-year maturation in char three oak barrels offers the drinker a one-of-a-kind experience,” “Origin’s high-barley mash bill and five-year maturation in char three oak barrels offers the drinker a one-of-a-kind experience,” Adam Dickerson, brand manager for New Holland, said. “We are particularly enthusiastic about Origin’s four signature tasting notes of stone fruit (namely pear and apricot), citrus, baked pastries and vanilla wafer.”
It will be distributed in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Colorado, Texas and California.
