OT: Cut Above Bourbon from Kiln

[Bulldog Bruce]

Just found out about it. Anybody out there tried it yet? I see it is BIB.

Not going to see it in my part of the world, but I did a little digging for you. That mash bill is 70% corn, 20% wheat, 10% rye. Nice sweet wheater with a mash bill halfway between Weller and Makers and almost dead on with Larceny in the grain mixes.

Its only 4 years old for now so the ethanol will probably be a little punchy out of the gate if it's higher proof. I'd pour it in a glass and let it breathe for 10 minutes. If you aren't getting the flavors to pop, add a few drops of water or a single ice cube to open it up.

I'm a big fan of supporting small craft distilleries that are taking the time to distill and age their own product vs sourcing. The method I described above is how I found a sweet spot with Wyoming Whiskey which is a very similar mash bill and age. Once I figured out how to open it up, it's number 2-3 on my daily drinker list... Hope you have the same luck.

Snag a bottle and give us a review once you tinker with it Bruce.

If it's made at Lazy Magnolia I live about ten minutes from there. I'm not a big bourbon guy as much as I've tried, and I haven't had a drink in quite a while, but I'll do some looking around on it.

I have a bottle of their rye and it’s tremendous.

If its Lazy Magnolia, they are big into "sourcing" for many beer brands. Had no idea they were into liquors too.

It is Crittenden Distillery that makes it. They seem to have 3 products right now. They started in 2017.
