Orphan Barrel Avengers Doomsday Latverian Cask 20 Year Light Whiskey

For more than twenty years, a collection of American Light Whiskey barrels matured quietly, their story hidden and their fate unknown. As secrets begin to emerge from the shadows, Orphan Barrel reveals Latverian Cask, a one-time release inspired by Marvel Studios' "Avengers: Doomsday," in theaters December 18.

Named for the fictional nation ruled by the enigmatic Doctor Doom in “Avengers: Doomsday,” Latverian Cask spent at least two decades quietly maturing before emerging at the right moment.

The release features an original label illustration by Marvel artist Rod Reis to transform the bottle into a collectible piece of visual storytelling. In an additional twist, one in six bottles will feature a holographic label treatment, giving select collectors an even rarer version to discover.

Made from a predominantly corn mashbill and distilled in Indiana, Latverian Cask matured primarily in Kentucky, with other barrels aged in Indiana. For a minimum of 20 years, the whiskey rested primarily in previously used bourbon and rye barrels, alongside multi-use barrels that previously held batch Light Whiskey and other American Whiskies. Aging in used oak allowed the liquid to develop depth and richness, while the uncharred barrels helped maintain the softer character of Light Whiskey.

Bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof), Latverian Cask opens with caramel and sweet vanilla on the nose, followed by honey, butterscotch, orange peel, and oak on the palate, and a warm finish of creamy vanilla and dried fruit. Despite its age, the whiskey remains mellow and soft on the palate, with the depth and richness developed over more than two decades in used oak. Latverian Cask is best enjoyed neat or with one small ice cube, allowing the liquid to open up slowly as the ice melts.
