Product details
Orphan Barrel Fanged Pursuit 17 Year Straight Bourbon is a singular tribute to the wild spirit of Kentucky’s Bourbon Heartland. Influenced by the elusive bobcat that prowls the edges of Bluegrass State distilleries, this rare release emerges only after seventeen years of patient, undisturbed maturation in charred American oak barrels. Like the watchful predator itself, the whiskey’s development is deliberate and precise, every year in the rickhouse deepening its connection to the surrounding landscape. Fanged Pursuit is a once-in-a-lifetime expression, crafted in a single release and destined never to be replicated—a fleeting glimpse of bourbon’s most untamed character, caught only in this moment.
On the nose, this non-chill filtered bourbon reveals inviting aromas of vanilla, red cherries, and golden honey, promising richness before the first sip. The palate is a layered journey: toasted oak, orchard fruits, and warm baking spices glide across a velvety mouthfeel, reflecting the measured, stealthy grace of its namesake. The long finish leaves a lasting impression of mellow oak and sweet fruit. Best savored neat or with a single cube to unlock its full spectrum of flavors, Fanged Pursuit is a collector’s piece and an unforgettable tasting experience—an homage to the rare beauty of bourbon matured without compromise.
