I most be honest, I've been coveting these Tintypes for some time. Not only because of the awesome labels and great cause, but the idea of having old Indiana bourbon aged in dead heat and humidity of Mississippi makes me salivate. Also, everyone who posted online about snagging a bottle seemed to think it was top tier stuff. So when old school popped up in CA, my first question was "Tintype?!" Now we've got it. Less than a barrel worth for the CA market, only sold at K&L! Into the glass it goes. It's an easy chestnut color (1.2). The nose is lovely and very out of the typical MGP style - starts with a black cherry note before moving toward the candied stone fruit and sweet caramel sauce. Behind hints of herbs, fresh hay, and baking spice remind us that this is indeed a very high rye mashbill. On the palate it has a super fun almost sugar candy note up front with a sweet dark chocolate core and a pillowing dark spice back end. The finish seems to bring back the dark cherry note, almost a bit syrupy, but not in a medicinal way. I'm absolutely loving this and hitting Spotify up for some Captain Luke. Perfect pairing.

It's not often that you can find a way to have your cake and eat it too, but this bourbon does not compromise on silky smooth molasses character while supporting a great cause. Be a patron of the arts in style by putting on some blues and sipping on some Old Soul—a pairing fit for a connoisseur.

Notes

Tintype Series is a collaboration between Cathead Distillery and Music Makers Foundation (MMF) in homage to respected blues musicians affiliated with the foundation. Tintype #1 celebrates blues legend Captain Luke, who passed away in 2015 at the age of 87. A founding member of the Music Maker Relief Foundation, Captain Luke was known for his proundly deep voice and showmanship. Each bottle of Old Soul helps support the goals of the MMF, which are to support those carriers of America's oldest roots music traditions. The incredible image of Captain Luke that adorns the front label was created by MMF Founder, Timothy Duffy. This bourbon is a testament to what the deep heat and humidity of Mississippi can do to a bourbon over just 7 years. Aged its entire life at the Cathead distillery in #3 & #4 char white oak, only 16 barrels were deemed worth for the creation of this special bourbon. Distilled from 75% Corn, 21% Rye, 4% Malted Barley and bottled at a cask strength of 120.6 proof, without any additions or filtration of any kind. Expect a delicious nose of deep caramel and dark red fruits. The palate is rich and sweet with dark chocolate and plenty of spice on the back to keep it lively. An exceptional bourbon by any measure and the perfect match for the the consummate entertainer, Captain Luke.
