This came off the still at 135 proof before being diluted down to its barrel entry proof of 125 (the maximum legally permissible for straight whiskey). It was matured in barrels with a #4 char. The proof rose to 127.2 (63.6% ABV), the strength at which this is bottled, with 27.2% of the whiskey lost to evaporation. This is a batch of 72 barrels pulled from the 3rd, 4th and 5th floors of Warehouses K, L, and Q, at an age of six years, five months.
