Whiskey JYPSI Tribute Double Barreled Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a 4-year-aged, 86-proof celebration of heirloom grains and family farm heritage, crafted from Cherokee White Corn with an 80% corn, 10% rye, and 10% malted barley mash bill. The autumn light catches the amber spirit in your glass like golden honey dripping from weathered barn wood, while the rickhouse air carries whispers of charred oak and sweet corn silk dancing in the breeze.
Born from the vision of Big Machine Distillery, this double-barreled bourbon honors the poets and pioneers who shaped American whiskey tradition. Distilled and aged across Tennessee and Kentucky's rolling hills, then blended and bottled in Morrison, Tennessee, JYPSI Tribute represents a bridge between time-honored techniques and modern innovation, celebrating the Cherokee White Corn that connects us to the land's first stewards.
