Title:
Orphan Barrel Fanged Pursuit 17 Yr
Description:
Company: Diageo Distillery: Sourced from an undisclosed Kentucky distillery(ies) Release Date: February 2025 Proof: 92 Age: 17 Years
Mashbill: 68-74% Corn, 18-22% Rye, 8-10% Malted Barley
The mouthfeel begins on the thin side, but surprisingly holds a good deal of flavor for its 92 proof. This might be because this is a non-chilled filtered bourbon, a first for the company. Though the bourbon doesn’t jump out of the glass and bite you as its name suggests, Fanged Pursuit is a decent sipper that, if you make peace with its proof and price, is an enjoyable and accessible high-aged pour. Fanged Pursuit is sourced from Kentucky. could be unused old Bulleit stock, which would have been from the days when Four Roses contract-distilled for them. It could also be from Beam, who seems to have a surplus of bourbon in this age range lately with their Harden’s Creek and Old Grand-Dad releases. Though Fanged Pursuit features a pronounced nutty note, it isn’t the typical peanut note found in many Beam bourbons and is also noticeably fruitier. Heaven Hill, or less likely, Buffalo Trace, could also be sources. Still, it’s too hard to tell as it was also likely aged in Stitzel-Weller rickhouses for some years, which would have affected the flavor profile to a noticeable degree, making its original source less distinguishable. So, like many Orphan Barrel releases, the origin is unclear.
