Experimental bourbons you would like to see

What type of "experimental" bourbon would you like to see produced? Maybe a 4 grain mashbill, a 100% corn bourbon, a bourbon aged in exotic oaks or maybe something we haven't thought of yet?

Personally I would be interested in trying a bourbon made with both wheat and rye. I have heard that Woodford Reserve and Buffalo Trace are both aging a 4-grain product right now. I don't know how this will turn out, but it would be interesting to try. I guess I could "gillman" up a batch using existing bottles in my bunker http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...mlins/wink.gif

Hey that's what (apparently) Corner Creek did.

P.S. Don't read my last two posts as any shift to brevity. http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...lins/smile.gif

Gary,

Please elaborate. Are you saying Corner Creek is a mingling of wheat and rye bourbons? I wasn't aware of that.

Yes, or that is my belief, rather.

Gary

Based on something you've heard/read, or on your opinion of the taste?

Well, on the label it says, "an exceptional marriage of the finest wheat, rye and corn". So either it is a vatting or a 4-grain, but the former is more likely.

Gary

Sorry Gary, can you tell that I have never picked up a bottle? http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...on_redface.gif

Very interesting. I have heard good things about this bottling, but I don't believe I have heard any discussion on the mashbill or the mingling. I'll pick up a bottle this weekend and give it a try.

Well, it is very good. I like it more now than a few years ago. There was a minty-like taste some years ago that seems lessened now. Label seems unchanged from some years ago so hard to tell the approximate year of the bottling but it was always good, now is even better. Can't say I detect a real difference because of the four grains, though.

Jeff,

More opinions on Corner Creek here.

Yours truly,

Here's its website:
Corner Creek Bourbon

which states it is a blend of wheat, corn and rye -- "a selection of the distillery's finest barrels". So, apparently, "vatting" at the dumping level.
