Lot One is a complex blend of single malt and malted barley whiskey. Additionally,it was procured from eight to 12-barrel lots, some dating back to 2011. Karakasevic used a more traditional approach to distilling this whiskey. Using a mash bill of two-row pale malted barley and fermented it with California Ale yeast. All distilled in the same alembic pot still from Cognac, France, as his Charbay lineup.
The resulting Lot One is a blend of 11 of the 12 barrels bottled at 110 proof. Aged in virgin charred American oak from Demptos Cooperage in Napa. The barrels were charred to six different levels, and both American and Hungarian oak heads were used, resulting in a diverse flavour profile. The twelfth barrel, with a Hungarian oak head and heavy toast, will be bottled as a single barrel release at a robust 125-proof.
Acquiring the Coveted Bottle
The release of Lot One is sure to create a buzz in the whiskey world. With its unique presentation, it is sure to sell out quickly. The whiskey is presented in a dark brown bottle with a signature sheepskin label. And strays from traditional bourbon or other American single malts.
