Bmac Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 So what would you call a vodka distillate that was produced at a lower proof? Straight up "hooch" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fpst Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I see this all the time on shelves here in CO. And it frustrates me every time. It's not whiskey if its made from potatoes! :smiley_acbt: I hope the regulations aren't becoming more lax...I also tried it at a local festival, back before I knew anything about it. Let's just say I didn't enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLfarmboy Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 There is an awful lot of people who believe Irish whiskey is made from potatoes...(when I first keyed that in I used the word "astonishing" rather than "awful" but then considered the long list of other silly things people believe...and went back and changed it...)WTF?.............

sku Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 I went to the distillery a few months back. The whiskey is not whiskey. It tasted like caramel flavor was added yuk! On the other hand, Rob's Mtn. Gin is very good IMO. On another note, has anyone tried Fireside Colorado Straight Whiskey? It is pretty new (last month or so?). It is from Mile High Spirits and it looks like they were originally a private labeler. http://www.privatebranddistilling.com/our-brands/I'm going to their new storefront the afternoon to pick up a bottle.Interesting. I wonder who makes it? It's described only as "whiskey distilled from grain." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spence21989 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Interesting. I wonder who makes it? It's described only as "whiskey distilled from grain."They say they have one of only 3 fully glass stills in the world. I think that they have been a private label company for long enough that they very well may have made this whiskey (stated as a 4yo).I will ask and will report back on what I find and the quality.
