Whiskey JYPSI Toasts 250 Years of American Independence with "The Declaration"

NASHVILLE, TN – As the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Whiskey JYPSI announces its most historically significant release to date, Legacy Batch 003: "The Declaration". This, the third limited-edition of the Legacy Series, is a rich and layered tribute to America's revolutionary spirit, built from a reconstructed Maryland-style rye mash bill that reinterprets the past with modern craft and reverence.

"Before bourbon there was rye," says Whiskey JYPSI whiskey maker, Ari Sussman. "Rye was the whiskey of revolutionaries, and Maryland Style Rye was what George Washington himself distilled at Mount Vernon. It balanced rye's characteristic spice with the sweetness of corn, and that balance is what we set out to create."

Rather than a simple recreation, "The Declaration" is a sophisticated, modern reimagining of that historical mash bill, blending rare and aged stocks of whiskeys to create a complex and balanced profile. The blend is a meticulous construction of three distinct components:

• 60% Rye: A blend of 8- to 12-year-old 95/5 rye sourced from Indiana, delivering the foundational spice, maturity, and classic rye grain character, which is then finished with a top note from apple brandy barrels sourced directly from Washington's distillery at Mount Vernon.
• 30% Corn: 20- to 25-year-old Canadian corn whiskey, which was re-barreled in new American oak for two and a half years to add exceptional depth, vanilla, and cocoa notes.
• 10% Malt: An 8-year-old American single malt from Virginia, which provides a fragrant, floral, and biscuit-forward aromatic top note to round out the blend.

"This whiskey is a textbook example of disciplined, perceptive blending, which maintains control of an aroma and flavor channel that never breaches its boundaries," whiskey blender and acclaimed spirits author F. Paul Pacult said. "The whiskey's virtues are always apparent but never exaggerated. It's compact, strong, and elegant. In a word, superb."

"When Eric and I started JYPSI, we said we would have no rules other than producing the best products we could regardless of complexity or cost," said co-founder Raj Alva. Sourcing from one of the oldest and most historic distilleries in America to produce "The Declaration" is a perfect example of that spirit."

"The Declaration" is a layered expression of American whiskey's past and future; a thoughtful commemoration built from aged whiskeys, historical reconstruction, and a collaboration that bridges centuries. "To mark the 250th anniversary, we wanted to make something that is more than a commemorative bottle; it's a testament to the grit, restlessness and innovation that built this country," says co-founder, Eric Church.

Whiskey JYPSI Legacy Batch 003: "The Declaration" is bottled at 57.87% abv and is available in limited quantities with an SRP of $199.99. It is available at select wine and spirit stores as well as online.
