Nashville Barrel Company The Compromise Bourbon & Rye Whiskey 122.6 Proof

Nashville Barrel Company The Compromise Bourbon & Rye Whiskey
Blended American Whiskey (Bourbon & Rye) | 61.3% ABV (122.6 Proof) | 750 mL | 50/50 Blend (9 Year “Kelvin” MGP Bourbon + 7 Year Kentucky Rye) | Cask Strength
Process & Profile
Nashville Barrel Company The Compromise is a high-proof, cask strength blended whiskey created as a collaboration between Nashville Barrel Co. and Nashtucky Whiskey Co. The concept is straightforward and built for flavor: a true 50/50 blend of mature stocks—9-year “Kelvin” MGP bourbon for deep sweetness and oak, paired with 7-year Kentucky rye for spice, herb, and structure.
At 122.6 proof, this is a big, full-bodied pour with a dense texture and a long finish. The bourbon side brings caramelized richness and toasted oak, while the rye side drives peppery spice and a drier snap that keeps the sweetness balanced. It’s designed for drinkers who want a bold sipper, and it also excels in spirit-forward cocktails where proof matters.

How to Enjoy
Start neat and let it rest a few minutes—this one opens up as the oak, fruit, and spice separate into layers. Add a few drops of water to lift sweetness and soften the heat while keeping the rye backbone intact. A single large cube will slowly round the edges and pull forward more caramel and vanilla. In cocktails, it makes a powerhouse Old Fashioned or Manhattan-style build—use a light hand on sweetener so the whiskey stays in control.
