The ‘V’ yeast in this release’s OBSV recipe is unique: during fermentation, the distillery discovered that the yeast had mutated, causing them to have to decide whether or not to dump all of the mash that used that yeast. They ultimately decided to risk using the mash, distilled it, and aged it. In the end, Jim Rutledge has frequently referred to this mutant V-mash bourbon as his all-time favorite whiskey, and one that can’t be recreated—the distillery did not preserve any of the mutated yeast.¹flahute – StraightBourbon.com
