The Finest North American Ingredients. It starts with the purest water on Earth. They then take a strain of yeast perfected over generations, plus the best North American small-grain rye, malted barley and corn to create their premium small-grain bourbon. Delicately Smooth and Rich With Character. They blend their small-grain bourbon using a proprietary process that produces a whiskey with a deep amber color and signature notes of caramel and toffee. The final product finishes delicately smooth, and rich with character.
Triple Crown Blended Whiskey is made by McCormick Distilling of Missouri. It is made from a base of corn, malted barley, and rye (somewhat akin to a bourbon grain bill though this is not classified as a bourbon) and bottled at 80 proof for an easy-drinking, value whiskey. The blend comes from 20% bourbon and with the remaining 80% a grain neutral spirit (rather like vodka) for a lighter flavor. The whiskey is aged on site in virgin oak.

They also make a point of their yeast, which has been in continual use (one could call it a sour mash) for 70 years.
