No I'm just doing the aging part of the process. First use of the barrell should only age for 8 weeks due to the tiny size. After that it can stay in indefinitely.
What amount is it? How much do you anticipate the "angels share" will be? Post a link if you have one, please.
Very nice. As surprising as it sounds being from TN, I don't know anything about whiskey. But I appreciate wooden barrels and anything else that looks like it should be on pirate ship.
Fantastic! One of my retirement goals is to set up a still and make whisky. I'll call it bourbon, even though I'm pretty far from Kentucky.
Hahaha, Thanks. The 562 was a too good to be true purchase and I’m still on the fence about selling it and using money to get a 90+cc saw for milling. Any scrounges or clearing jobs I’ve come across have been no problem with a 346 and 372. And no, I don’t mind you talking about my saws, as long as you buy us dinner! And as not to hijack let’s get back to the whiskey. I sampled some Buffalo trace and Basil Hayden tonight. Both were very nice with two rocks and a splash of water.
I have a lot of family in the eastern part of TN tazwel area harogate ara... that's my wife and I s dream to move down there on a few acres..
It's about a half gallon. I won't be sharing any with the angels...it's all mine. My son gave the setup to me for Christmas he picked it up here https://www.djinnspirits.com/giftshop
Aww be kind! When you broach that pony, at least set out an extra glass and let the angel pour his own!
Know about the angels portion. Just that I was reminded of a story about 3 Preachers talking about how they divided up the church donation money between their own use and that portion for the Lords work. One says " I draw a line on the ground and toss all the money in the air. What falls to the right of the line is for the Lord and what falls to the left, I keep". The second Preacher said " I draw a circle on the ground and throw all the money in the air and what falls inside is the Lord's and what falls outside is mine". The third preacher said " I throw all the money in the air and I figure what the Lord wants, He can take"!
Update: Aging is complete. Now for a tasting or three. Unaged on the right. Oak aged on the left. Lost about 500 ml to the atmosphere (or someone has been jumping the gun)
Nice! I just got back from a bourbon tour in Kentucky. Makers was heaven. I know all about Angels share. I have a bottle of orphan 25 year which is more than half evaporated. Pics from tour. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Speyside Cooperage will be opening a spot about 20 miles from here.... I understand they will sell casks... used or new, I do not know....
That’s a little scary, they give tours in 200 year old buildings stacked to the roof with barrels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
