Origin is a straight bourbon whiskey, distilled in small batches and bottled at 95 proof. This release is the first year-round bourbon with an age statement of five years or more for the craft distiller.
“Origin is one of the most exciting projects we’ve taken on at New Holland,” said Adam Dickerson, brand manager, in a prepared statement. “We’ve been sampling this product patiently for five long years and are continually impressed by its complexity of flavor, and delicate finish.”
“Origin’s high-barley mash bill and five-year maturation in char #3 oak barrels offers the drinker a one-of-a-kind experience,” Dickerson noted. “We are particularly enthusiastic about Origin’s four signature tasting notes of stone fruit, namely pear and apricot, citrus, baked pastries, and vanilla wafer. The marriage of these flavors with the myriad of additional sub-flavors forms a truly memorable bourbon and presents you with new tasting notes to uncover each time you revisit.”

He explained that the name Origin comes from the origin story of Dragon’s Milk (the parent brand for the bourbon).
The original Dragon’s Milk Stout was born from bourbon barrels, and those barrels have become what’s described as an integral part of the evolution of New Holland’s Brewery and Distillery.
The Dragon’s Milk name evolved from the original stout to become the parent brand to an entire portfolio of beer, bourbon and other barrel-aged products.
