Whiskey Profile Evidence Database (USWA)

Do not automatically transfer five years or the final 5% wheat to the unnumbered historical expression described in DeVito. Distillation origin and current availability remain unverified.

Review describes a five-year John David Albert Taos Lightning rye at 45% ABV, attributed recipe 95% rye/5% wheat, bottled in New Mexico, with a separate sensory review.

Distiller / Amanda Schuster

Long description calls it straight bourbon despite label wording with natural flavors. Keep exact wording and unresolved legal category; catalog scope can remain American Whiskey. Trade name does not prove the physical distillery.

Front-label asset visually inspected: Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey With Natural Flavors, 40% ABV/80 proof. Catalog text supplies 36-month maturation and Kentucky distillation, maturation and bottling.

Heaven Hill

This evidence check does not constitute full profile verification or a fresh retail-stock check.

Producer specification review, October 7, 2026: Heaven Hill confirms four years, 100 proof and bottled-in-bond straight rye. The producer tasting sheet supplies 51% rye; the full 51/39/10 formula remains a reported secondary-source figure. Library review found conflicting rye-recipe claims in DeVito; those are not used to overwrite the producer disclosure.

This evidence check does not constitute full profile verification or a fresh retail-stock check.

Producer specification review, October 7, 2026: current Baker’s product page confirms Kentucky straight bourbon, single barrel, 107 proof and a seven-year minimum. Exact age belongs to the individual barrel; the recorded full mash bill remains explicitly attributed to secondary reporting.

This evidence check does not constitute full profile verification or a fresh retail-stock check.

Producer specification review, October 7, 2026: Bowman Brothers Small Batch is 90 proof/45% ABV, with corn, rye and malted barley and triple distillation described. This does not identify an upstream supplier or establish a current age statement.

This evidence check does not constitute full profile verification or a fresh retail-stock check.

Producer specification review, October 7, 2026: Lux Row distinguishes Reserve’s corn/rye/barley recipe from wheated 1843. Its extra-aged description is not a numeric age statement. This source does not identify the distilling facility for the reviewed release.

This evidence check does not constitute full profile verification or a fresh retail-stock check.

Producer specification review, October 7, 2026: Luxco’s September 24, 2018 launch confirms seven years and 117 proof. Its $39.99 MSRP is historical. Breaking Bourbon reports 78% corn/12% malted barley/10% rye; conflicting secondary recipes exist, and the producer launch does not supply percentages. No distilling facility or current availability is inferred.

This evidence check does not constitute full profile verification or a fresh retail-stock check.

Producer specification review, October 7, 2026: product listing identifies Virginia straight bourbon, single barrel and 100 proof. No current numeric age statement or upstream distilling facility is established by this check. Historical reviews remain dated evidence.

Separate Governor’s Reserve entry is four years old; do not transfer its age. Distillation origin and current availability unresolved. Duplicated tasting wording is not independent sensory corroboration.

Original scanned page visually inspected. John David Albert’s Taos Lightning Single Barrel Straight Rye is identified at 90 proof, 95% rye, new charred American oak, with chill filtration and individually numbered/dated bottles.

washeewashee / r/bourbon

A separate 2019 distillery visit describes Chocolate Malt with dark chocolate, vanilla and a faint smoky sweetness. This supports cocoa as a trial blending contribution. Batch is unidentified; smoke is a tasting impression, not evidence of a peated-cask finish.

An independent 2019 distillery visit also describes Wapsie Valley as light, sweet and notably citrus-led. The visitor does not identify a batch, so this supports the expression-level citrus hypothesis rather than every historical bottle.
