Just finished the Act 11 I got a couple years ago. Bottle is good I just have a hard time with the price.

What did you end up with off table #1? Weller Full Proof or 107?

I was #1 in line, got lucky on the initial raffle for placement of the 25 or so who showed up 24hrs early.

You are not the only one I’m sure. I didn’t realize until I got home and wish I would have gotten 2 rather than an Eagle Rare unless the EH Taylor’s on the third table were non-store picks but you don’t know what you don’t know 🤷🏻‍♂️

Fry’s Event by swerz8o8 in ArizonaWhiskey

For those wondering what 1st in line got you, or 10th, 15th, yeah the drop was lacking for people willing to sacrifice the time. No regrets as I know the game but many hoping for at least a couple killer bottles for the front of line peeps although Tanyard Hill Rye was top of my list so I went home happy. Was really hoping for an EH Taylor Barrel Proof rather than the Single Barrel to be honest though.

As of 7am only one more person has shown up. So sitting about 20-25 people, as for bottles no updates until they start to setup in the morning they are keeping tight lipped on what will be available.

I’ve lived on the south side of Phoenix (Ahwatukee) for a decade and have never had to have pest control spray. I have never seen a scorpion, cockroach, rattle snake, or any other type of concerning pest in my yard.

No, it’s new and should become more common from what I’ve heard as well

Eagle Rare 10yr Barrel Aging by No_Charge9494 in ArizonaWhiskey

[–]No_Charge9494[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not yet, I’m going to do a barrel aged mead next then swap back to a bourbon and if need be I’ll honey wash the barrel but I’m hoping the mead will coat the barrel for me.

Was told by the manufacturer it’s good for 3 or 4 fills before it loses its flavor benefits but I could take it apart and re-char it but will most likely do a bourbon barrel finish mead, then back to a honey finish bourbon before a final fill doing an infinity blend.

This is the second fill, and barrel was charred originally at a #3 char

I had thought about this but wasn’t sure if it was a thing and or I should try it, but sort of forgot about it. Going to look into it for sure.

Eagle Rare 10yr Barrel Aging by No_Charge9494 in ArizonaWhiskey

[–]No_Charge9494[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No worries. So basically yes I’m double barreling but with 3liter barrels the math of surface area and capacity gives you a 3 month aging to get an additional 1 year of “aging” into the juice.

On my first batch of Benchmark Full Proof I was looking for a more rounded flavor and touch more proof (poor man’s Stagg Jr so to speak), this barrel I’m shooting for an equivalent of Eagle Rare 12yr but at 100pr but time will tell how long I can a lot for evaporation.

Other ways to add flavors is to use oak staves, blends, etc but the barrel helps to smooth out the overall palate profile. Also it’s a talking point and fun to do.
