Bourbon Tasters of Chicago is proud to unveil the latest release: "Sweet Rye O' Mine," a Sauternes-finished single barrel from Season 005, crafted in collaboration with Found North.

CHICAGO, IL - July 11, 2025 - Bourbon Tasters, one of the fastest-growing whiskey communities in the country, has partnered with Found North Whisky to release Sweet Rye O' Mine, a limited single barrel selected from the brand's Season 005 lineup.

This barrel was finished in a Sauternes wine cask sourced through Midwest Barrel Company. The result is a whiskey with layered sweetness, structure, and spice. It was unanimously approved by the Bourbon Tasters tasting panel, who were immediately drawn to its richness and balance.

"There's a reason Found North has a two-year waitlist for single barrels," said Jacob Smith, founder of Bourbon Tasters. "They blend transparency, age, and depth in a way few others can. This barrel stood out on the first sip."

Season 005 features a return to a high-rye foundation and brings together five well-aged components.

The breakdown includes:

- 26% 10-year rye

- 26% 12-year rye

- 17% 14-year corn

- 29% 16-year corn

- 2% 20-year rye

The final grain makeup is 53% rye, 45% corn, and 2% malted barley. The rye provides a firm backbone of earth and spice, while the corn adds sweet, oxidized depth. The Sauternes finish contributes soft fruit notes and roundness without overwhelming the core whiskey.

Only a single barrel was bottled for this release. It is available exclusively to members of the Bourbon Tasters community.
