Four Roses Limited Edition 2012 Single Barrel

Hey all,

I just put some Four Roses Limited Edition 2012 Single Barrel on the shelf. This year Jim Rutledge selected a 12 year bourbon with the OESK recipe. OESK signifies the higher corn mashbill (75% corn, 20% rye and 5% barley) and the yeast strain which produces a rich spiciness with flavors of mint and earth. Interestingly enough there were only 5,178 bottles produced, which I would guesstimate required about 25-30 barrels. Since each was bottled as a single barrel there will definitely be some variance barrel to barrel. I happened to get two different barrels, one that’s 54.7% alcohol and one that’s 52.2% alcohol. Hmmmm, I wonder which one is better? Only one way to find out……..

Hey all,

I just released May Bourbon Club yesterday. This month we’re featuring Smooth Ambler Old Scout! Head Distiller John Little of Smooth Ambler was kind enough to answer some questions for the club. I put the entire interview in the tasting notes. If your not a member feel free to stop by and pick up a bottle as I have plenty on the shelf as well. Cheers

New Micro Distilled Whiskeys!

Post author By Admin
Post date April 25, 2012

Hey all,

Got some brand spanking new product today, both from Micro Distilleries. First we have the Dancing Pines exceptional new bourbon from their small distillery in Colorado. The mash bill is corn, rye and barley, it’s aged just a hair under four years and is offered at 44% alcohol (88 proof). Second is a limited run of McCarthy’s Single Malt from Clear Creek distillery in Oregon. They use 100% peated barley from Scotland which is then fermented for them by the Widmer Brothers Brewery. After that they take the distillers beer and pot distill it, putting the freshly made spirit into uncharred oak barrels where it ages for three years.

Both whiskeys are excelent and a tribute to how innovative and special the micro distilled spirits can be. Enjoy!
