Beer&Bourbon Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 From the press release: In order to further increase the scope, flexibility and range of the experimental program, an entire micro distillery, named The Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. “OFC†Micro Distillery, complete with cookers, fermenting tanks and a state-of-the-art micro still has been constructed within Buffalo Trace Distillery.How long has the micro distillery been in place? We went on the hard hat tour and got to see the little microdistillery. It was pretty cool to see how they allow this continued experimentation. They said ETL will come in and do batches when he's got something interesting. (I assume there is a bit more that goes into it than that, but - I wish I was a valuable enough asset to command my own microdistillery to experiment.)

cowdery Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Back to oats. Koval's oat-based whiskeys are good too, but they're 100% oat, as is High West's, they're not oat-flavored bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFerguson Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Time to bump this up again.While there was a lot of talk about this, I don't think I've seen anybody really comment on them yet. Anybody out there try these yet. Came across a stash of them in a unexpected place, and my curiosity is ramping up. ThanksB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFerguson Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Gave into the temptation today on both of these. Still plenty of them around from what I can see.First thoughts. The nose on the Oats is better than the Rice, it certainly has more oomph and hints at potential. Bit of cherry almost. Taste goes to the Rice. Its a beautiful clean, light and dare I say, refreshing taste. It reminds me slightly of the first Taylor release in it's ease, but this is even more so. The Oat's taste is decent-but a bit of a letdown from the flavor hint from the nose, and nearly reminded me of my current open bottle of EC18. Not sure why, but it hit me in the middle of my sample that this was just really similar.I'd buy another of the Rice, and plan to, but may pass on more of the Oat. Its nice, but one will do in this case. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Picked up both of these today and have not had a chance to try them yet. If I had seen Hansell's article I would have probably stayed away. The place I got these from had about 7 more of the rice and no more oats. Looks like they are still plentiful. Not sure if I am going to taste these right away or put them in the bunker with my other BTECs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFerguson Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 The rice is still the better one to the oats. I pulled out my oats bottle last night, it had been banished since i last posted. Sadly, it did not improve with some air and age. If anything, it tasted worse-much worse. A bit like wet, manured and pee'd barn hay on the floor. I know, not pleasant, but it was the taste that came to mind. Not that I've had such a thing before, but it reminded me of walking through almost every animal barn I've been too over the years. I think I may end of dumping it. It just is not worth the punishment of drinking it.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
