Is that the state of Wisconsin logo on the bottle or am I seeing things?Half way through a week of sausage and bacon making. The bottle didn’t survive
Everything packaged, froze and cleaned up. Time to sit back.
Tomorrow I am picking up a bottle of Whistle Pig or ? Starting to tap weather is prime.

I would like to visit with the individuals that dream up the creative names for these whiskys.

processhead I would think that the naming discussion around the “processing table” is fueled by how many taste tests are administered that day/week.

PapaSop Never saw that one on the shelves around here. Would love to try.

It’s good but… One glass was plenty. At 121 proof I didn’t need to be bouncing off the walls. LOL
Yep the Wi logo was part of a barrel buy for a chain store in state. -

YooperDog
KinnickKinnic… Have not seen that before. Also the name of a famed trout fishing river in west central Wi.
Possibly spelled different. I’d have to look. -

YooperDog I bought some Whistle Pig after years of debating. It’s rare that I will drop that much on a bottle but I saw the 10 year Rye for a ‘decent’ deal and splurged. Mind you, liquor and gas prices in my area are both inflated. It was good but I could come up with many examples at half the cost that would hold their own. Perhaps I’ll try one of the higher expressions one day.

Joe Hell picked one 750ml up for $50 right next to a $500 bottle. To much for me. After a week of boiling sap I will head back and see what else is sitting on the shelves, pretty good selection.

PapaSop Sorry about being late to reply to this, but I’ll have to add this one to my collection when I find it. Its funny that its a Tennessee whiskey named for an outlaw from Missouri. I do not idolize folk like Jesse James, but did visit his farm house and museum many years ago, while visiting family in Missouri. The funny thing was the museum had a sign on the front door stating no firearms were allowed. Kind of ironic considering who he was.

YooperDog Yeah right! $500 for a bottle that they didn’t even create the juice. They source all the juice from a variety of suppliers in the industry. Yes, they “cure it and blend it”. BUT??? Also, a group of us did taste a variety of their wares and found it fairly good. But, way overpriced. There’s many on the market that are very close and at a more reasonable price. Obviously, someone is buying them and that’s good for them. Have a good day with your $50 bottle.

Cleaning the garage today looking for some drywall tape, decided to go through the homebrewing stuff. Found some 23 year old wine and mead along with some old store bought beer in the bottle cases. Had to try the mead and wine to see how they aged. They were surprisingly good, considering I had not label the bottles and had to guess what was in them. Had one bottle of Cherry Mead bottled in 1996, really good and high alcohol, high cherry notes. Multiple bottles of coffee mead, it wasn’t bad either, more caramel notes and light coffee, bottled in 1997 and the wine was a Gewürztraminer bottled in 1997. Still have a spiced mead bottled in 1997, it’s an orphan bottle as well. Found two bottles of Barley Wine I put away and forgot about in one of the cases two. Cleaning the garage was productive, finding the drywall type, not so good, oh well the liquor took care of that.
