An Extraordinary Bourbon for the Discerning Collector

This exceptional Wildlife Collection Straight Bourbon honors the rare Guadalupe Bass, a species found only in the pristine waters of Texas’s northern and eastern Edwards Plateau. Crafted for the true connoisseur, this limited cask-strength release was distilled at the historic DSP 10 in Owensboro, Kentucky, from a mash bill of 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley. It was barrelled on May 18, 2018. Two select casks matured gracefully in Kentucky for four years, while the third rested for five years and seven months in Kentucky before their final aging and “Texification” in Blanco. Here, in the desirable north side of Milam & Greene’s Rickhouse 2, it completed its seven years, one month, and four days of aging, developing a depth and character worthy of your collection.

Guadalupe Bass is a powerful bourbon with a resplendent mahogany hue. It has an intense nose of cherry cordial, big bold notes of allspice, clove, nutmeg, and sticky toffee pudding. It is concentrated and complex on the palate with notes of dark cherry and dried apricot, bursts of vanilla and crème brûlée, and a substantial yet smooth mouthfeel. Its viscosity carries a durable finish with notes of menthol, anise, and oak that draws you back for more.
