Drink of Choice

Its raining and and 45 degrees out so a good Irish coffee was in order tonight.

Chef well I’m beginning to think part of it is marketing. Why the bourbon craze and people chasing delivery trucks its become kind of crazy. I picked up the half gallon from an exchange with a friend. When I noticed the craziness starting I picked up the other bottles. I still think part of it is marketing to keep up the chase. For us long time bourbon drinkers it is a pain. The good thing is I have tried many smaller and honestly great distillery’s products, that I may never had tried.
I just did a side by side with Woodford Reserve wheat and although it was close, I know it will be very different in a pie. It may be an option. Ill keep trying.
GWG8541 Yep, you’re the final taste tester for the “pie”. I have no idea about the pairing with those pies. I offer to be a taste tester of the pies. Glad you did a side by side. Now we know. Keep up the that chase for the “closest”. But, if we keep doing the tastings, that finished pie may be a couple days off. Way tooo funny. The search continues. Yep, we’re having fun.

GWG8541 The lady who donated that included a mason jar of her homemade old-fashioned mix. Nice bonus!

Perfect amount of whiskey for 2 people and an interesting podcast!

Jonathon How do you like the E.C. A121?
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day
Teach a man to fish and he drinks beer for a lifetime -
glen by the looks of that last pick, someone enjoyed it pretty well.
-
glen I’d say it was probably the best bourbon whiskey I’ve ever had. Unbelievably smooth, nice burn but not obnoxious at all. I had Kurt Ratzlaff (regular podcast viewers will know him) on with me to taste test. He was there strictly to talk about hunting/outdoors from his perspective, not from his companies (we needed to make that clear) and then after the drinks kicked in we got into everything but mostly stuck to bears and philospohy. I really get along with that guy.

Jonathon I agree, each bottling is a little different but always outstanding
I found a bottle of C919 in a liquor store back shelf 136.8 proof -
Jonathon I like Titos vodka too. It is a good smooth vodka. Can actually drink it slow on ice if a guy wanted too!

@ndmike Jonathan Titos is very good. But, if you want something even smoother and less costly, try Platinum 7X. Comes in a blue bottle. It will not disappoint.
-
@NDMike and zbigjeff Thanks, I’ll have to try both of those. I really don’t drink very often but I do enjoy a few drinks now and again. glen huh, that is a pretty decent-sized swing, guess every batch really is different. Crazy that yeast and sugar make so many different types of alcohol! Also, crazy that we are can use the waste of yeast to sanitize things.

Jonathon One of the hallmarks of Elijah Craig barrel proof is the proof swings 136.8 is not the highest in the series but is very close. The latest batch, B521 is 118.2 which is fairly low for the series
-
The alcohol content is dependent on the distillation process and the evaporation rate in the cask during aging (angel share), in these batches.
-
In addition
The master distiller decides what alcohol percentage to barrel the juice based on their impression of the distilled white wiskey and desired final results.
After various aging times most of the results after will be mixed for their standard brand labels which tastes the same every time
One of the decisions is to barrel high and dilute after barreling or to dilute before before barreling and less after. -
alanburkholder I’ve heard of angels share being the evaporate but apparently there is also some small % that gets absorbed into the wood? I saw a commercial once with …whats her name, the girl from that 70s show where they talked about the devils share being what is absorbed into the wood…what’s that girls name? If Patrick was in the room he would know…Mila Cunos? However you spell that.

Jonathon Yup, you are thinking of the Jim Beam Devils Cut commerical.

Also, I tested @The-Fridge-Raider and he knew it right away. Kids and their pop culture! My brain is too full of Monty Python quotes and random NFL stats from the 00s to remember celebrity names.
