Is Ethan's Batch 2.0 still available?

If you're interested in supporting EthanAlmighty's Blessings and securing this collectible bourbon, act quickly as limited edition charitable releases like this often sell out fast.

What is a "high rye" bourbon?
A high rye bourbon contains a higher percentage of rye grain in its mash bill (recipe) than typical bourbons. While all bourbon must contain at least 51% corn, high rye bourbons use more rye as the secondary grain, which adds spicy, peppery notes and complexity. Ethan's Batch 2.0's high rye content contributes to its spice notes and distinctive character while maintaining bourbon's signature vanilla, butterscotch, and caramel sweetness.

Does my purchase really help animals?
Yes! Proceeds from Ethan's Batch 2.0 directly benefit EthanAlmighty's Blessings, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides care for animals in need. The partnership between Mr. & Mrs. Bourbon and EthanAlmighty has already raised significant funds through their first release, and this second collaboration continues that mission of helping vulnerable animals.
