In our initial collection, we hope to release 10,500 barrels distributed as follows and prioritized accordingly: * **4,000** barrels for public mint. * **250 barrels** reserved for current and future employees. * **1,000 barrels** reserved for the Founders of The Graine Ledger Distillery. The remaining barrels (5,250) will be [**insurance barrels**](/guides/barrel-ownership.md#barrel-insurance) for each member of our owner community (each barrel will come with its own duplicate) as an insurance policy. During the production process, there may be accidents, and we want to guarantee the security of your whiskey. \ \ We will release a single [**mash bill**](/fundamentals/mash-bills.md) that is owner community selected to be distilled by The Graine Ledger. Following the **Code of Federal Regulations, Title 27, Chapter I, Subchapter A, part 5, Subpart C**, each will meet the legal requirements of a **bourbon whiskey**. Offering either a high rye, traditional, wheated, or random-number generated mash bill elected by barrel owners. Owners will also have limited customization options for this collection but still just enough to make the whiskey in your barrel truly unique. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
