Interesting about the organic bourbon. I posted a few months back about an organic vodka we have in Australia called Vodka-O. People are skeptical to try it, but all that do come back wanting more. I have spoken to the rep from the company that makes and distributes it, and later this year we will see what they will be labeling as an 'organic' bourbon. IIRC, the name will be "Bootleg Bourbon" .

Rather than using organic corn, etc, I believe they will be buying their Kentucky bourbon in bulk, then further distilling it a number of times before they bottle it. If anything, it should be very interesting. I don't think it will be out in time for the KBF, but I should be able to have some over there for next years sampler.

I've changed my mind about finishes. American straight whiskey doesn't benefit from being finished in wood that has held something else.

Bourbon is still pretty good just the way it is.

Chuck I really think you need a sample of my re-barrelled bourbon... re-aged in ex-port barrel. I firmly believe this would change your mind back again...??!!

Oh and JB White is definately not!! "pretty good the way it is"...without a mixer such as cola or something it's bloody aweful!!

I'd like to see good rye distilled in Baltimore and Pennsylvania again, preferably by borrowing a few Kentuckians back

I'd like to see HH restore the Pikesville to a higher proof (possibly moving it slightly upmarket at the same time), for those of us who actually like sipping rye.

Realistically though, neither of these things has a snowball's chance in hell, unless we see a dramatic resurgence in the Maryland rye market. I've been doing my best to spread the rye gospel, but so far the main beneficiaries have been VWFRR, various KBD-bottled labels, and that incredible bargain - Rittenhouse BiB.

I would ike to see a single barrel or higher proof Makers Mark.

Mcarthy's oregon single malt is available at Binny's. It is even listed on the website. Peregrine Rock used to be available at Hi Times Wine but since they won't ship outside of California anymore, they aren't much help either.
