Launch article: 117.5 proof; product listing and visually inspected bottle label: 117.2 proof. Profile keeps the label-supported 117.2.
Rathskeller Revival Batch 002, announced November 25, 2025. Blend of double-oaked Kentucky bourbons described as 16, 13, 11 and nearly 9 years old; these are component ages, not a 16-year age statement for the bottle. Four undisclosed distillers contributed four recipes: 75/13/12, 75/15/10, 78/13/9 and 74/21/5 corn/rye/malted barley. Blend proportions and precise finishing locations remain undisclosed. Three barrels used ZAK wood seasoned for 72 months: wood seasoning is not whiskey age. Different secondary-aging periods are reported without exact durations. The current product listing and photographed label agree on 117.2 proof (58.6% ABV); the launch article says 117.5, retained as a documented source conflict. The visible front label reads Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey; final classification remains under review alongside the secondary-maturation process. Sensory descriptions remain producer-derived; no independent or Academy tasting is claimed.
