The Whiskey Wash has been following the Orphan Barrel experimental series with oak, Rhetoric, since its debut in 2014. As a collective whole, Rhetoric earns an A+ as it exemplifies the nuanced importance time and oak have in the whiskey making process. Current and future distilleries should look at the Rhetoric series for inspiration to hone their own craft.
