Orphan Barrel Entrapment, according to those behind it, is a 25 year old whisky distilled and aged at the massive Crown Royal distillery in Gimli, Canada. It represents the eleventh release in this particular Diageo line up, and is the first Canadian whisky to be part of the portfolio.
Entrapment, bottled at 41% ABV, has a mash bill that’s very corn forward focused at 97% corn and 3% malted barley. As the story goes from Diageo on its origins, “occasionally when using full blends of Crown Royal there is a small quantity of barrels that didn’t fit into that full blend. These barrels in particular are moved around the warehouse to make room for newly filled barrels. These barrels aren’t necessarily forgotten, but instead not chosen for another blend becoming almost hidden treasures. The whisky is distilled and aged at the Crown Royal distillery in Gimli, Canada and hand-bottled in Tullahoma, Tennessee.”
