Crossing the two gives ten distinct bourbons, each named by a four-letter code: O for the distillery's Old Prentice origin, B or E for the mash bill, S for straight whiskey, and a final letter for the yeast. The barrels mature in single-storey rack warehouses, which hold a narrower temperature range than the tall multi-storey warehouses common elsewhere in Kentucky. For the annual release, Brent Elliott selects parcels from the ten recipes at varying ages and assembles them at natural barrel strength without chill filtration. The 2024 drew on three recipes across four parcels, with the ages and proportions published by the distillery rather than inferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Vault Preservation\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"details-content\"\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold through Midnight Whiskey is sourced as an authentic, sealed product and inspected before it ships.
