Quintessium
Quintessium – not a real word, but one we created with purpose. As with all of our blends, our goal is to craft a whiskey that is harmonized and balanced, yet full of uniquely delicious character. Four bourbons gave us structure, but it was the fifth that unlocked harmony — the elusive element that transformed the blend from individual parts into a seamless whole. Named for the quinta essentia, the “fifth essence” pursued by alchemists, Quintessium embodies discovery, patience, and the art of blending.
For our 3rd Annual Bourbon Release, we set out to build on the foundation of our first two. Rhapsody showcased a high-rye bourbon mashbill, while Vanguard leaned into wheated bourbon. By combining both styles, high-rye and wheated bourbons, while bringing new distillers into the fold, we’ve created a whiskey with remarkable depth, exceptional character, and a distinctly memorable finish.
Anchored by the bold backbone of high-rye bourbons from Green River, McKenzie, and MB Roland, and elevated by the rich, caramelized fruit complexity of wheated bourbons from J. Henry and Ragged Branch, Quintessium is one of our most beloved blends to date.
