Whiskey Tree

Your Beam bourbon mashbill does not equal 100......

Pfft, math.

Loving the whiskey tree!

Haha.

I'd agree, this is probably the most handy and most comprehensive undertaking on the net when it comes to American whiskey!!!

I was told there would be no math.

Adding something, yet nothing at all ...

At a recent bourbon tasting in Toronto, Harlen Wheatley said this:

"1792 is the highest rye bourbon that we [Sazerac] offer. We have 3 different Rye bourbons. ... It's almost close to maybe a Rye Whiskey. It's not Rye Whiskey, it's a bourbon. But it's close." The latter bit was speaking about the taste, not the mashbill.

What a weird thing for Harlan to say. They have at least 4 rye bourbon mashbills in regular production. Three if BT #2 is excluded, I guess. As for the "highest rye" bit, VOB I could believe, but 1792? Doesn't taste anything like a rye to me. Oh well, different strokes & all that. Thanks for the information Smithford!

Yes. It wasn't, since Blanton's Gold was part of the tasting event. Perhaps he meant he was presenting 3 that night.

Yeah, it doesn't taste like much of anything to me ...

It's very weird, as Harlan would never say anything contradictory.

He's a riddle wrapped in an enigma
