The 14 Year Old Whiskey Combines Six Orphaned
Stocks and a Proprietary Blend in One Premium Liquid
A FORGOTTEN STOREHOUSE IN KENTUCKY, April 20,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Orphan Barrel Whiskey
Distilling Co. is pleased to announce the latest release from the
company: Fable & Folly Finest Quality Whiskey Aged 14 Years.
Fable & Folly was crafted from a proprietary blend that
includes the last remaining stocks of Barterhouse, Forged Oak and
various Rhetoric releases.
Orphan Barrel searches for rare whiskeys hidden away and nearly
forgotten in the dark corners of distilleries and rickhouses,
bottling and releasing limited amounts of these treasured liquids
with the care and craft they deserve. When Master Blender Andrew
Mackay discovered the last remaining stores of rare, orphaned
whiskeys from years past, he thought it was only fitting to share
these whiskeys with the world within one bespoke blend– Fable &
Folly. He married the last remaining stocks of Barterhouse, Forged
Oak and various Rhetoric releases with a proprietary blend to
create the expression, which pays homage to the original releases
yet possesses a distinct profile of its own.
"Fable & Folly honors the quality ingredients that go
into it and the ethos of the Orphan Barrel Whiskey Distilling Co.
as a whole," said Mackay. "In my discoveries of the six
orphaned stocks that are part of Fable & Folly, it became clear
that blending them would both highlight and enhance the nuances
that make these liquids so special. Fable & Folly tells the
stories of whiskeys past while exciting aficionados and collectors
with a unique new spirit that stands the test of
time."
Fable & Folly is a harmonious creation that uniquely
balances age and flavor. This whiskey beautifully accents the rich,
smooth character of the orphaned stocks within it, featuring spicy
notes of rye and pepper. It begins with a burst of spice and
delicately warms to a smooth richness with sweet notes of syrup and
fruit.
The spirit animal displayed on the bottle pays homage to this
proprietary blend - a hybrid of the three signature animals of the
whiskeys from which Fable & Folly came: a stag, a hummingbird
and a fox. Like this bespoke creature, the liquid combines the best
of these stocks into one delicious and distinctive breed of
whiskey, a perfect embodiment of the Fable & Folly heritage,
lore and legacy.
This special edition bottle is available in limited quantities
at select spirits retailers nationwide with an SRP of $149.99 for 750mL. Fable & Folly can be
purchased on ReserveBar, Drizly.com or the Drizly app
where shipping and delivery are available. For more information on

Each Orphan Barrel expression is meticulously bottled with pride
to ensure these rare whiskeys are treated with the care they
deserve, because once they're gone, they're gone forever.
