Iconic Bottles — 17, 18, and 19 Year Releases

Found North 17 Year

A blend of 64% corn, 32% rye, and 4% barley, the Found North 17 Year is aged in ex-bourbon and French oak casks. This release is known for its vanilla, baking spice, and citrus notes—a rich and layered dram with a long finish.

Found North 18 Year

The Found North 18 is a rye-forward release that delivers a high-octane, spice-rich profile. With a mash bill centered on 80% rye and an ABV often above 60%, it’s a bold yet balanced pour. Notes of black cherry, pepper, and oak make it a collector's favorite.

Found North 19 Year

The Found North 19 Year takes complexity to the next level with longer barrel interaction and rare cask finishes. Often hailed for its toffee, fig, and dark chocolate layers, this bottle appeals to seasoned palates looking for nuance and depth.

Where to buy: You can explore rare bottles like these through our Shop Rare and Aged Whiskey page or browse verified retailers.

Collector Tip: These expressions often increase in value—watch pricing trends and secondary market activity, but beware of inflated resell prices.

• Batch 003: Known for its umami character and chestnut sweetness
