Product Information

Wheat is often added as a mellowing element, although it can bring in hints of honey, dried berries, toffee, and mint. Its “bread-ness” is mainly a supporting player that complements the other grains in the mash. Many of the spirits we drink are unaged, such as vodka, gin, and some kinds of tequila. Generally, we don’t give it a second thought, except when we see the rare “Vodka aged in Cognac Barrels” or “Gin aged in Bourbon Barrels.” These are new trends that have mirrored the “finishing” trend in scotches and bourbons with their “Cask Finished” spirits. Case finished spirits spend the last part of their aging process in barrels from rum, brandy, sherry, ale, scotch, etc. USTR Signs Wine and Distilled Spirits Continuity Agreements with the UK".

A refinement often dubiously [17] credited to James C. Crow is the sour mash process, which conditions each new fermentation with some amount of spent mash. Spent mash is also known as spent beer, distillers' spent grain, stillage, and slop or feed mash, so named because it is used as animal feed. The acid introduced when using the sour mash controls the growth of bacteria that could taint the whiskey and creates a proper pH balance for the yeast to work.

Place ice cubes in your favorite highball or mason jar, pour over tea and whiskey, and gently mix in sugar to taste. Garnish with a sprig of mint. Yeast can impact the flavor of the whiskey. If you’ve ever played around with brewing beer, you know there are all sorts of different yeasts with different flavor profiles. Champagne yeast works for dry and sparkling wines, but if you’re brewing a lager, you want lager yeast. Whiskey distillers usually opt for sour mash. Think of this like your sourdough starter. It is taken from the last batch of whiskey mash and allowed to ferment, then added to the next round. And just like a sourdough starter, sour mash is self-sustaining. Its lower pH makes it more difficult for unwanted microbes to get a foothold. Thomas, Richard (June 17, 2013). "Jim Beam Devil's Cut Bourbon Review". Archived from the original on March 4, 2018 .

Barrels - Used Oak - Barrels that may have contained anything else from bourbon to rum, absinthe or brandy. After processing, barrels remain saturated with up to 10 U.S. gallons (38 liters) of bourbon, although 2–3 U.S. gallons (8–11 liters) is the norm. [67] They may not be reused for bourbon, and most are sold to distilleries in Canada, Scotland, Ireland, Mexico, and the Caribbean for aging other spirits. Some are employed in the manufacture of various barrel-aged products, including amateur and professionally brewed bourbon barrel-aged beer, barbecue sauce, wine, hot sauce, and others. Since 2011, Jim Beam has employed barrel rinsing on a large scale to extract bourbon from its used barrels, mixing the extract with a 6-year-old Beam bourbon to create a 90-proof product that it sells as "Devil's Cut". [68] Many shiners love using an air still because they can scale down the recipes to yield one gallon (most are written for 5 gallon stills) and use their regular kitchen equipment for cooking. Distilling is as simple as pressing a button and there is no large equipment to store. a b c Kiniry, Laura. " Where Bourbon Really Got Its Name and More Tips on America's Native Spirit".

The delineation of straight corn whiskey is the same as for other straight whiskeys.It means that the product was aged in oak for no less than two years and that no colorings or flavorings were added.Most classes of spirits allow for additives up to 2.5 per cent of the total volume to be added to the product.These are usually in the form of sweeteners or caramel colorings.The Bourbon or straight whiskey categories do not allow for these manipulations and are therefore unadulterated. The great thing about these heirloom varieties is they have as much to add to taste as they do in history.
