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.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Toasted oak, brown sugar, rye spice, dark cherry, leather

• Palate: Oily toffee and vanilla, peppercorn, cinnamon heat, char-kissed oak

• Finish: Long and warming with rye spice, dried apple, leather, and oak

What Makes It Special

• True 50/50 bourbon and rye blend for a balanced sweet-and-spicy profile

• Mature components: 9-year MGP bourbon plus 7-year Kentucky rye

• Bottled at cask strength (122.6 proof) for concentrated flavor and texture

• Collaboration release with a clear “best of both worlds” concept

• Excellent for collectors and drinkers who chase bold, high-proof blends

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.
