Tintype Series is a collaboration between Cathead Distillery and the Music Makers Foundation (MMF) in homage to respected blues musicians affiliated with the foundation. Tintype #2 celebrates funk, soul, and psychedelic rock guitar legend Hermon Hitson. Founded in 1994, the MMF meets the day-to-day needs of American artists and cultural legends who create traditional American music, ensuring their voices are heard and giving all people access to our nation’s hidden musical treasures. You can meet the artists and discover music at musicmaker.com or scan the QR code on the back of the bottle.

Each bottle of Old Soul helps support the goals of the MMF, which are to support those carriers of America’s oldest roots music traditions. This exceptional bourbon was aged for 9 years in the powerful Mississippi heat and humidity. While the label states 8 years and 10 months, every drop is at least 9 years old. Distilled with 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley, only 20 barrels were selected for this incredible batch and were bottled uncut & unfiltered at 113.7 proof.

Expect earthy spice and fruit with notes of pear and black cherry, along with hints of dark chocolate and sweet cornbread. Rye spice notes abound, balancing the caramel on the palate with nutmeg, black pepper, and cardamom. A big baking spice finish with long and lingering black pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

These Tintypes are some of the most exciting new MGP juice on the market today. Distilled to the 21% mashbill, aged in Mississippi heat, and adorned with these underappreciated musical legends, this is what it’s all about. Incredible to taste these two whiskies together, Tintype #1 and Tintype #2. They’re identical in every way, but two years apart in age, yet they couldn’t be more different. Herman Hitson’s funky, soulful rhythms vs. Captain Luke’s rumbling bass voice. Here we go.

The color is a deep tawny (1.4). The nose is all baked pear, sweet corn, bold oak, and cinnamon. Some red fruit layered on top, with a much bigger vanilla tone than Tintype #2. On the palate, it’s a big spicy roll in the dusty forest. The sweetness here is black fruit, which contrasts the nose incredibly well. We get tons of spice and plenty of body. It’s deeper and longer than its younger brother.These are two of the most exciting new American whiskies on our shelves and represent a fabulous way to support American musical legends while enjoying some legendary American whiskey.
