Totally, absolutely, utterly, completely beside the point, that is one impressive bass voice. I can only get that low when I work at it, once a day, on a good day. 😀 So, Heather, how much of a buzz did you have at the end? 😂 14:33 I'm not a rye guy, but I've had a few rye whiskies which I like nearly as well as bourbon. An excellent rye is indeed excellent whisky. 🥃 16:26 Toasting the barrel, either before charring or without charring, does neat things to the wood and has a tasty effect on the whisky. Part of what I call "the Balcones touch" (IIRC I've done a video on that) is the fact that they toast all their barrels. I've never even seen Penelope, and couldn't it if I saw it, but this has been an interesting video. Muchas gracias. 🙂
I wasn’t too buzzed after this, very little sips and I had a lot of water and food before hand 🤓 also it helps that I’m almost 100% German raised in Wisconsin I’m a huge fan of the toasting process! It imparted some awesome flavors and we will 100% be looking more into what happens at a chemical and nerdy level at some point!
Salute for getting this done. I couldn't have done this. A lot was accomplished to me here. Kind of happy I didn't buy the Rose' cask. The 4 grain wasn't for me but may have to revisit it. I'm hoping the batch 2 Valencia matches the one sampled here. I thought the 9 year Estate Collection would have faired better. Great job in the blind. If I lived close to you both I'd send you the Tokaji Penelope I have.
I’ve tried one Tokaji finish, I believe it was from Starlight, so I’m on the look out for that as well to sample and eventually finish the Penelope collection with.
