Did you purchase a second bottle as control?

I probably should do that. Then I can use my 2nd stick in that one after I test it.

cant wait to hear the results

guys friday i took a tour of a local distillery and learned some things about some stuff:

1. The term "small batch" means absolutely nothing.
2. a surprisingly large number of companies use bulk whiskey instead of distilling their own.  I would have thought this was more outrageous but apparently it's pretty much industry standard.
3. The difference between making vodka and making whiskey is like 1 step in the distilling process and then of course vodka goes straight to the bottle instead of being aged in oak barrels.  I was like, whoa.  I had no idea vodka and whiskey were like, brothers pretty much.

The new Rieger whiskey does #2...then brings it to KC and mixes in the sherry to mimic the old time tradition of KC whiskey.

Tonight at halftime. #whiskeystickstasting

Nice flavor. Smooth. I didn't get a regular bottle of EW to compare yet, but my initial thoughts are positive. #whiskeysticks

get a regular bottle for Saturday's game and race to the bottom!

I'll put it this way, Evan Williams featuring #whiskeysticks was by far the highlight of the evening.

It was actually pretty good. I need to compare to regular EW though.

I learned #2 recently as well. Specifically, I read an article that was about rye whiskey. Apparently, Bulleit Rye and Templeton Rye are the exact same grain makeup, Bulleit is just aged a little bit longer.*

#3 isn't shocking. For instance, "20% bourbon mixed with 80% neutral grain spirits" is written on the neck of Kentucky Deluxe bottles.

*edited to correct after examing Clams's tree chart.

i've posted this before but



understanding it makes the conversations that you idiots have about bourbon very fun to read.

Tincup. Not branded as bourbon on the bottle, but "American Whiskey." Very easy drinking as the lower proof might suggest. It's bottled in and marketed as a Colorado whiskey, but it's really some domestic import to our neighbors to the west. Good drink tho. Perfect for someone looking to get into drinking neat.

Very cool bottle. Owned/ bottled by Stranahan's,which I've heard makes a great bourbon.

Yes, but this is some kind of front product. They bring in the 'sky, mix it with a little Colorado water, snap a cool looking bottle over it and put it in the stores. This isn't Stranahan's, but Stranahan's is the one who puts it out there. It's almost too easy drinking for me, and I'm not some stud whiskey guy.

Yeah, not a huge whiskey guy either.  Don't think tincup was served to us, had a few others though.

Remember when I hated whiskey? Wow, what an idiot I was. Now it makes up 75+% of the alcoholic beverages I consume.
