The Craftsmanship Behind Indigo’s Hour

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting an Orphan Barrel Whiskey, you understand the extraordinary craftsmanship involved. Orphan Barrel’s latest creation, Indigo’s Hour, is a testament to this artistry. Each sip reveals a story of time-honored traditions and careful attention to detail.

A Metamorphosis in a Bottle

Indigo’s Hour is an 18-year-old Straight Bourbon Whiskey that mirrors the transformative beauty of nature. The butterfly, showcased on its label, is the perfect symbol of the bourbon’s evolution from barrel to bottle. Distilled in Indiana, aged in Kentucky, and bottled in Tennessee, Indigo’s Hour undergoes a meticulous process, absorbing the unique characteristics of each location.

Exceptional Flavor Profiles

Indigo’s Hour pays homage to its origins with a flavor profile that delights the senses:
– Creamy vanilla on the nose
– Toasted oak and baking spices

This harmonious blend of flavors makes Indigo’s Hour a truly rare whiskey experience.

A Collectible Treasure for Whiskey Connoisseurs

Orphan Barrel’s Master Blender, Andrew Mackay, notes that Indigo’s Hour is perfect for those who appreciate the complexities of American bourbon-making. This highly limited edition, once gone, will never be reproduced, adding to its allure as a collectible.

Visual Storytelling Through Bottle Design

Indigo’s Hour’s bottle design is an art form in itself, reflecting the spirit’s journey. The label inspirations include:
– The Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly representing Indiana
– The Witches Tree, a legendary maple tree near Louisville, KY
– Cascading creek landscapes of Tullahoma, Tennessee where it was bottled

This attention to detail makes Indigo’s Hour not just a drink, but an experience.
