Mythology Best Friend Bourbon
Mythology Best Friend Bourbon is an 88-proof (44% ABV), 750mL blend of straight bourbons from Mythology Distillery of Colorado: a 15-year Kentucky bourbon married with two high-rye Indiana bourbons aged 2 and 5 years. The brand calls it an "exceptionally blended infinity bottle" — the deep, honeyed 15-year stock anchoring younger, spicier high-rye components. Ten percent of tasting-room bottle sales go to Mountain Pet Rescue. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

An Infinity Bottle You Can Actually Buy
Every whiskey drinker knows the infinity bottle — the home blend that keeps getting better. Mythology bottled the concept: a 15-year Kentucky bourbon (78.5% corn, 13% rye, 8.5% barley) for depth, plus two high-rye Indiana bourbons at 5 and 2 years for spice and lift. (No age statement appears on the label, since the blend includes 2-year whiskey.) The 15-year component does the heavy lifting — wildflower honey, warm cornbread, and a long finish of vanilla, pipe tobacco, and black currant — while the high-rye stock adds cinnamon and toasted almond. Note: a separate Cask Strength Batch 1 (118.5 proof) exists; this listing is the standard 88-proof blend. Fans of bourbon whiskey who like their pours with a backstory will want this on the shelf.
Tasting Notes
Wildflower honey and warm cornbread on the nose; honeycomb up front, transitioning to gentle cinnamon and toasted almonds; a lasting finish of rich vanilla, pipe tobacco, and black currant from the 15-year Kentucky stock.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a splash of water — the 88 proof is deliberately approachable, and water wakes up the honey and spice. It also makes a luxurious Old Fashioned. Pair with pecan pie or aged gouda.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an "infinity bottle"?
A home tradition of blending the last pours of favorite whiskeys into one bottle. Mythology's Best Friend is a distillery-made take: three straight bourbons blended for balance.
Why no age statement if it contains 15-year bourbon?
US rules: the stated age must be the youngest whiskey in the blend — here, 2 years — so the brand omits the statement rather than undersell the 15-year component.
Is this the cask-strength version?
No — this is the standard 88-proof blend. Mythology also released a separate Cask Strength Batch 1 at 118.5 proof.
