{"product_id":"the-beautiful-and-the-damned-electric-delta-single-cask-bourbon","title":"The Beautiful and the Damned Electric Delta Single Cask Bourbon","description":"The Beautiful and the Damned Electric Delta Single Cask Series is a 10-year straight bourbon whiskey bottled at cask strength 115.4 proof, distilled by Cardinal Spirits in Indiana with a high-rye mash bill of 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley. This single barrel selection represents bottle 33 from cask number 09, showcasing the bold character that emerges when traditional bourbon meets Indiana craft distilling innovation.\n\nFrom the industrial heart of Indiana comes Cardinal Spirits, a distillery that bridges the gap between bourbon's storied past and its experimental future. The Beautiful and the Damned series captures the rebellious spirit of the Jazz Age, when boundaries blurred and traditions bent. Each single cask tells its own story, aged through Indiana's dramatic seasons where summer heat drives deep wood extraction and winter cold locks in complexity.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charred oak, cinnamon bark, vanilla bean, dried orange peel, black pepper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel corn, rye spice, toasted almonds, dark chocolate, leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long with warming spice, oak tannins, honey sweetness, lingering pepper heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e57.7% (115.4 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRelease Year\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCardinal Spirits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndiana\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMash Bill\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60% Corn, 36% Rye, 4% Malted Barley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCask Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e09\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBottle Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeat Sipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Experience the full complexity of this high-proof single barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhiskey Enthusiasts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Collectors seeking unique Indiana craft expressions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Occasions:\u003c\/strong\u003e A conversation starter with its distinctive backstory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCold Weather Evenings:\u003c\/strong\u003e The high proof provides warming comfort by the fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does The Beautiful and the Damned Electric Delta taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis single cask bourbon delivers bold rye spice upfront from its 36% rye mash bill, followed by rich caramel and vanilla from 10 years in oak. The high 115.4 proof amplifies every flavor, creating an intense but balanced drinking experience with layers of baking spices, dark chocolate, and warming oak tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I add water to this bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 115.4 proof, this bourbon benefits from a few drops of water to open up its complexity. Start neat to appreciate the full intensity, then add small amounts of water to unlock hidden floral and fruit notes. The high proof means you can dilute significantly while maintaining robust flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this compare to other Indiana bourbons?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many Indiana bourbons that use MGP distillate, this is distilled by Cardinal Spirits with their own high-rye mash bill. The 36% rye content places it firmly in the spicy bourbon category, similar to Old Forester 1897 or Russell's Reserve 10 Year, but with the unique terroir of Indiana's climate and Cardinal's distilling philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this bourbon worth the investment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle cask bourbons at 10 years and cask strength represent excellent value for serious whiskey drinkers. The combination of age, proof, unique mash bill, and single barrel selection creates a distinctive drinking experience you won't find in standard releases. Each bottle from this cask is unrepeatable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes Cardinal Spirits distinctive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCardinal Spirits represents Indiana's craft distilling renaissance, focusing on grain-to-glass production with locally sourced ingredients. Their location in Bloomington puts them at the heart of Indiana's agricultural region, allowing direct relationships with corn and grain farmers. This bourbon showcases their commitment to high-rye mash bills that emphasize spice and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou must be 21 years of age or older to purchase this product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Beautiful and the Damned","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43338041884746,"sku":"TBATDEDSCB","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/6095\/7258\/files\/front_ddcaa357-1ad7-4c4a-82d2-86679ff29a6d.jpg?v=1771872423","url":"https:\/\/theoldrickhouse.com\/products\/the-beautiful-and-the-damned-electric-delta-single-cask-bourbon","provider":"The Old Rickhouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
