The grains are certified organic by both the USDA and the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, and the bourbon was distilled at Journeyman Distillery in Three Oaks, Michigan — a relationship that grew out of Master Blender Jackie Zykan's consulting work with the Welter family and their culture of quality and experimentation. The mashbill is 70% corn, 25% wheat, and 5% rye — a classic wheated recipe that keeps things soft and approachable — with Zykan batching and proofing the barrels before the whiskey was aged and bottled at the now-certified-organic Neeley Family Distillery in Sparta, Kentucky. Batch 2 arrives at 108 proof, a touch bolder than its predecessor, and carries the same dual-certification and small-batch ethos that made the inaugural release a double gold standout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Hidden Barn:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hidden Barn was co-founded by former Old Forester Master Taster Jackie Zykan alongside Royce Neeley of Neeley Family Distillery and Nate Winegar and Matt Dankner of Denver's 5280 Whiskey Society — a group that came together over a shared conviction that small-batch blending, done with real intention, could produce something the big brands simply can't. Zykan spent seven years at Brown-Forman's Old Forester, eventually holding the title of master taster, before stepping away to pursue something smaller, more creative, and fully her own. In 2024, Neeley acquired Hidden Barn outright, with Zykan continuing as Master Blender — and all the liquid produced during her tenure, including both Organic batches, reflects her hallmark approach: meticulous barrel selection, variable entry proofs, and a blending philosophy built around harmony rather than uniformity. The brand has earned Double Golds at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2023 and 2024, and took Best Small Batch, 1st Place at the 2023 New Orleans Bourbon Festival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Info:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e- Proof: 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e- Nose: Clove, fresh tobacco, spearmint\u003cbr\u003e- Palate: Caramel, medium-bodied, white pepper\u003cbr\u003e- Finish: Clean, lengthy tobacco\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is USDA Certified Organic Bourbon?:\u003c\/strong\u003e To carry a USDA Organic certification, every grain in the mashbill must be grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers — and the distillery itself must meet certified organic facility standards throughout production and bottling.

What makes this release distinct is what happens next: after the finish, the eight-barrel blend was open-air vatted for several days, allowing oxygen to work through the batch and coax out a final layer of integration and balance.

Unlike most wines, Madeira is heated and exposed to oxygen as part of its aging, which concentrates its sugars and tannins in a way that few other wines can match. When a bourbon spends months in a cask that previously held Madeira, those residual sugars and oxidative notes absorb into the whiskey, layering in dark fruit, raisin, and a gentle vinous sweetness that plays beautifully against the vanilla and oak already present in the spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neeley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45165937557699,"sku":"860008780522","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/5038\/0227\/files\/hf_20260428_185146_50deba9a-df87-4cfc-98f5-c97f222cdb5f.png?v=1783353102"},{"product_id":"hidden-barn-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey-small-batch-750ml","title":"Hidden Barn Slow Fade Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Small Batch 750ml","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Product:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Slow Fade\" is the tenth release in Hidden Barn's Series One lineup — and the first in the series to receive a proper name.
