Orphan Barrel Rhetoric 25 Years Review: Details and Tasting Notes Which is a shame, because I think they could have done some really cool things if it was handleds a bit better. All signs of something that is not longer a company priority. The Orphans don’t seem to get huge publicity lately, they don’t seem to be putting them out as rapidly as before and they haven’t updated the Orphan Barrel site since about 2016. I get the feeling Diageo is ramping down the Orphan Barrel series. I’m guessing they just parceled off some of the barrels that were turning 25 later in the year, kept them aside and blended them so they could end the series. What I mean is, if they were keeping at 1 per year (starting in 2014) then this would have been a 2019 release because the Rhetoric 24 came out earlier this year.
Though they kinda cheated a little really if they were doing just one release per calendar-year this wouldn’t have come out till next year.Ĭheating might be a harsh word, I don’t think they really cheat at the aging. It seemed like it was going to take an eternity, but here we are.
