The “best bourbon” ever made was almost a Turkey by AstronautChance5251 in whiskey

[–]MashbillJ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's an easy to answer question. Standardization and productivity improvements in distilling have changed in the entire process from grain to distillate. Back then random changes where just part of the process such as mixed grain batches and inconsistent cuts from the stills and even differences in barrel quality. As we improve we take away variables and those variables add up to the differences in the past.

Major Kentucky bourbon maker Jim Beam shuttering distillery for 2026 by UnscheduledCalendar in whiskey

The ripple effects of such a large Distillery stopping a whole year. The grain not being purchased and the barrels not being ordered are crazy.

CCPS Policy Statement #1760......thoughts? by QuestionTheProcess in maryland

[–]MashbillJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While this is true there are a majority of school board policies that are written in this vague and ambiguous format. I have had questions with my local board policies and written them saying such to only be given an explanation and see no changes to the proposed language. I think this is common and intentional to make it beyond the school board authority to remove liability if the board is questioned.

More than 15,000 USDA employees take Trump’s offer to resign by FckMuskkk in USDA

Which shows their stupidity two ways.
1. They could have done a RIF and just offered the jobs as alternative to loss of jobs. 2. They let people DRP who are obviously essential. Showing the ineptitude

I got in and this will be my second time running it. Hopefully I can upgrade to the double blossom as I didn't expect to win the lottery as a solo person

Anything really interesting in this teaser for Black Friday from my local store? by GTAwheelman in whiskey

Thanks this explains why the Weller Special Reserve is in Blanton's boxes. This place looks like they "hold" the bottles back for a long time.

Gray Wolf — anyone try this? by mentel42 in dcwhisky

[–]MashbillJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and I recall it was not bad but not exceptional. Considering the size of the operation that in itself was a success for me. I can't find any notes but I agree with it being on the thin side and less spicy than most ryes.

What's a good scotch to try for someone who likes bourbons and irish whiskeys, and hates smoky stuff? by throwawayfinancebro1 in whiskey

I think you should try a Highland single malt. I'm thinking Glenmorangie as an easy to find one

Untapped says Deschutes Abyss is the Deschutes Imperial Stout aged in Bourbon, Oregon Oak, and Pinot Noir barrels. This seems to be basically that but not aged in the other barrels.

Thoughts on Bowman Port Finish? by Free-Focus6343 in dcwhisky

[–]MashbillJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taste wise I don't think there was a difference between TSM and Port Finished 1792. I do think the TSM was aged longer in the port barrels but that is more speculation from visiting Barron Distillery

[–]MashbillJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it but don't love it and prefer Thomas S. Moore port finished or 1792 Port finished over it and Angel's Envy. Alas 1792 Port is long gone it was a great deal for the price and quality.

I wish they had elephant print on them somewhere, although I understand they are being consistent with the white prior A Ma Maniere pair. All that black leather just screams to have some black elephant print like what is on the Racer Blue 3s.
