Backroom Bourbon: Decanted
http://backroombourbon.blogspot.com/2009/03/decanted.html
Discussions and thoughts on bourbon. An experiment in maturing bourbon in an oak cask. Sunday, March 8, 2009. O3-08-09, I have now pulled two pints out of the barrel. There is a remarkable difference in all aspects, look, smell, and taste. The 8 year old has mellowed and become smoother. I took a bottle up to the backroom of the Crawfish.

Backroom Bourbon: Empty Barrel
http://backroombourbon.blogspot.com/2009/03/empty-barrel.html
Discussions and thoughts on bourbon. An experiment in maturing bourbon in an oak cask. Saturday, March 28, 2009. 3-28-09, I have emptied the barrel. I decanted about half a liter. It is a darker, richer, smoother bourbon than what went in. I have now refilled the barrel with Old Charter 8 year old again. I plan on leaving it in for at least two months. This has been a great experiment. And it will continue as long a the barrel continues to mature the spirits within. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Discussions and thoughts on bourbon. An experiment in maturing bourbon in an oak cask. Thursday, January 29, 2009. Now for the bourbon.

Backroom Bourbon: The Barrels Have Arrived

Discussions and thoughts on bourbon. An experiment in maturing bourbon in an oak cask. Sunday, January 25, 2009. The Barrels Have Arrived. 01-25-09, The barrels arrived two days ago. I had to put them on hold for Mardis. Had their ball Friday night. Well here they are. They are smaller than I expected. I don't know why I expected them to be larger, I just did. They are good looking and very solid. I am a little concerned about the spigots. We will see what happens. Of maturing spirits and blending port.

Discussions and thoughts on bourbon. An experiment in maturing bourbon in an oak cask. Sunday, February 15, 2009. 02-15-09, It is now two weeks and I think the bourbon has picked up a little more color than week one. Again, the control is on the left and the barrel sample is on the right. The taste is still mellow. Compared to the control. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Maturing Port in an Oak Cask.
