Blueprint 6-year-old is a bourbon, a style of American whiskey typically made with a majority of corn and matured in new charred oak barrels. At six years old, it sits in a range where oak influence is usually clear while the spirit can still feel lively and approachable.
For a new drinker, expect a profile led by vanilla and oak, with a fuller sweetness than many lighter whiskey styles. That combination often makes bourbon easy to recognize and a good introduction to barrel-driven flavors.
