flahute Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Master class on yeast right here. Often overlooked, we here know how important it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Interesting, if not a bit overwhelming. I need a Beam family tree to reference while reading this. Thanks for posting. Thanks to Chuck for the research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 It is crazy how the Beam family "Tentacles" reach everything in the bourbon world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsfan1311 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Very good read. I'm curious about the "foxy" yeast and it's characteristics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Basic JB White Label show it's characteristics the most. I think Chuck may have mentioned that. To me, it's kinda even more 'peanutty' than the other Beam stuff, and a little bit of a "pissy-sour-yet-cloying" quality. That last part is pretty faint; but noticeable to me, if I look for it. Not sure if either of those are what Chuck called "foxy"; but for me, either could fit that descriptor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VWIndy Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I remember spending a good 15 minutes talking with Jimmy Rutledge about yeast and the impact the five strands of yeast that Four Roses uses in the 10 variations of the Single Barrel/Barrel Strength. Then we tasted several versions with the same mashbill and different yeasts. Great time and education! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
