The Reveries 'The Raven' Bourbon Whiskey Batch V
Cask strength (see bottle) | 750mL | Batch V | Independent bottling — The Reveries 'The Raven' Batch V is the fifth release in the Rare Release series from "Premium Bottlings by T8KE" — an independent bourbon project launched in 2025 built on three principles: always cask strength, never filtered, hand-selected.
The Reveries sources from "prolific distilleries," ages and keeps its barrels independently, and estate-bottles in Middleburg, Virginia. The Raven series is themed on literary and mythological horrors — Batch I, for example, was a Poe-inspired blend of 9-, 10-, and 14-year-old Kentucky and Indiana bourbons at 128.8 proof. Batch V continues the series as a limited, unfiltered, full-strength blend for rare top-shelf American whiskey hunters. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.
