The Orphan Barrel collection's creators have stated that The Gifted Horse is a fortuitous blend, consisting of 51% 4-year-old MGP bourbon, 38.5% 17-year-old Bernheim bourbon, and 10.5% 4-year-old MGP corn whiskey, according to the company's press release. This release marks the seventh in the Orphan Barrel series and the first to lack a double-digit age statement. The whiskies employed are a blend of 4-year-old bourbon and corn whiskey, along with a 17-year-old bourbon, with the actual ages of the whiskies used being a combination of these. The fact that this blend resulted from an error makes it exceedingly unique, as it is not customary for a major whiskey producer to mix corn whiskey into matured bourbon stock.
