Where can I order a bottle of this online?
-
Tasted strongly vegetal, somewhere between cilantro and celery. The flavor is robust and there seems to be a variety of flavors, I might have even noted the peppermint, but the subtle flavors were losing the battle to the celery taste.
-
Might have answer on my other question. According to the blog on George Washington's Whiskey (which was supervised by Dave Pickerell in 2009), Washington's mash bill called for approximately 60% rye, 35% corn, and 5% malted barley (really need to pick up a bottle if I ever visit Mount Vernon). This means that mashbills haven't changed much over the centuries.
-
@jmpyle1 I've actually read the same thing. An article I read in a beer brewing magazine mentioned a microbrewery attempted a 100% rye beer and they needed to keep an eye on the wort or else it would turn into a sticky mess (which is why they gave up after one batch).

@shuboy05 Malted barley, in the case of Bourbon, Rye, and other American Whiskey, is introduced to help with the mashing(cooking) of the grain and also the enzymes you mention. I've heard that corn and rye when introduced to a mash cooker can paste up a great deal. The malted barley helps to prevent that. Not sure how Whistlepig makes theirs but you make a great point. There is likely something added to help that process.
As for the last question - that's a great one. Not really sure.

@C5Rigzz Yes indeed. Too dark. But that's an old one. Hopefully the lighting has gotten better.

@shopeology Glad you enjoyed it man. It's a fantastic pour isn't it. In talking with those guys I don't think they'll have a second release until very late this year or early 2012. Can't wait for the next one.
