Found North Batch 011 18 Years

Batch 011’s profile is the closest we have made to Batch 002. In many ways, Batch 011 revisits the heritage of Found North. You might think Batch 001 is our origin, but it was simply the first whisky we made. Batch 002 much more accurately represents the seeds of what Found North has become. When we started Found North, our plan was to make rye dominant blends. Accordingly, Batch 001 was 66% rye, 30% corn and 4% malted barley. However, while creating Batch 002, we continued to iterate and found that our best blend was 80% corn, 19% rye and 1% malted barley. It was a delightful Batch and recharted the course of Found North.

Since releasing Batch 001 and Batch 002, we have made one blend akin to Batch 001 and six blends with similar profiles and grain ratios to Batch 002. Batch 002 reverberates through the history of Found North.

The excellence of Batch 002 was not in the dynamism of the blend itself (it only contained 3 components) but rather it was rooted in the richness and elegance of how the flavors compliment one another, creating a wholly new expression of flavor.

Paying homage to Batch 002, Batch 011 pursues excellence by melding together nine component whiskies in order to enliven flavors that are balanced and rich. While it is a complex blend, it has a simple goal: achieve harmony and vibrancy in its wood, vanillin and spice.
