Gemenc Bronze tells the story of many years of cooperation between Horizont Brewing and Gemenc Distillery. The history of the barrels used for Gemenc Bronze began in the distillery, where new Zemplén oak barrels were used for Gemenc’s 0046 whiskey. After removing the whiskey, the barrels went to the Horizont Brewing, where they were used to age their Night Shift Barleywine for 12 months. After the maturation of the barleywine, the barrels were then returned to the whiskey distillery and used for post-maturation of what would become Gemenc Bronze. The composition of this whiskey is 60 percent corn and 40 percent barley.
