Frequently Asked Questions

What does The Beautiful and the Damned Analog taste like?

This bourbon delivers bold rye spice upfront with rich oak and dark chocolate notes, thanks to its 36% rye mash bill and 10-year aging. The high proof intensifies flavors of cinnamon, leather, and warming baking spices with a long, peppery finish that's perfect for sipping neat or in cocktails.

Is this bourbon good for cocktails?

Absolutely - the 115.4 proof makes it ideal for spirit-forward cocktails where you want the whiskey to shine through. The rye-heavy mash bill adds spice complexity to Old Fashioneds, while the age and proof stand up beautifully in Manhattans and Boulevardiers.

How should I drink this single cask bourbon?

Start neat to appreciate the full flavor profile, then add a few drops of water to open up the aromatics if the proof feels intense. This bourbon also excels in classic cocktails where high-proof whiskey is preferred, or enjoy it alongside the curated playlist for the full cultural experience.

What makes this different from other Indiana bourbon?

Unlike mass-produced Indiana bourbon, this is a true single cask selection with only limited bottles available from Cask No. 09. The rye-forward mash bill and careful curation by Lost Generation Bottling creates a more complex, spice-driven profile than typical high-corn Indiana whiskey.

Is The Beautiful and the Damned worth the price?
