pepcycle Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Attached are a few pics I snapped recently. There is no prize, other than getting the news about some new American Whiskey. Here are the pics. Can you guess? 1. What City and State 2. Who owns and will operate the equipement 3. What they will likely produce The first pic is the smaller of two similar vessels that will be used together. The second pic are the reflux towers. The third is the access port to the smaller vessel. Any takers?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNbourbon Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Ed, my first thought echoed Timothy's, but -- knowing your soon-to-be neck of the woods, Tuthilltown in Gardiner, NY, also came to mind.If the latter, they'll use it to make a wide range of whiskeys and spirits, as they're already doing.

pepcycle Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 We have the state.It's Kentucky.The city remains to be identified. The style is exactly right. It will be Irish Style Whiskey.When you get the city, the owner/operators become easier. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barturtle Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Seems there was an operation being talked about in Paducah, KY, but I don't remember who was involved in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNbourbon Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 And isn't Laura Lee Brown (of Brown-Forman association) invested in a new development in Louisville that will include an operating distillery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 The Paducah operation (actually, nearby Hickman, KY I understand) is a venture of Memphis, TN attorney Ray Jamieson.Could the Irish-sounding surname of Mr. Jamieson suggest he is setting up plant to make an Irish-type whiskey in addition to the previously announced bourbon? I don't know.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillman Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Well, this is just a guess, but since Buffalo Trace in Frankfort will be releasing a rum soon under the BTEC banner, might this equipment be planned for the Irish-style whiskey mentioned?

barturtle Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I'll take one more shot at it:Boston, and Beam.It's about the only style of whiskey that's currently missing from their portfolio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepcycle Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Dave PIckerell doesn't have anything brewing with this deal. But a former employee of Powers Irish Whiskey does.He's considered a lion among his peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OscarV Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 But a former employee of Powers Irish Whiskey does.I am now getting very interested.Are you hinting that someone is going to be distilling Irish whisky in Kentucky?I'm in, I have plenty of glasses to pour it into.Or maybe they are coming in from over the pond to make bourbon?Yeah, very interested.

Gillman Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Is Barry Walsh perhaps doing a joint venture with Buffalo Trace to make pure pot still whiskey in Kentucky?However and whomever is doing this, it is an interesting idea. I gave the link some time ago to an 1860's story in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle about a venture designed to do just that on Long Island. (I don't know if it ever got off the ground).Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky, made in the Rochester, NY area in the later 1800's and early 1900's, was some kind of barley whiskey although I think it had a high degree of rectification.The Feckin whiskeys I mentioned recently are (or one of them certainly, the unflavored one, is) an Irish whiskey being distributed by a company out of Minnesota.There are numerous Irish-style red and other beers you can get in America.In other words, the old attachment of America to Ireland and its products is still strong, and perhaps it is felt this style of whiskey will take off here. I wish them well, it is a good idea.GaryP.S. The iconography of those 70's Old Fitzgerald bourbon decanters also traded on the old ties to Emerald Isle.

Gillman Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 And the other thing is, no need to ship expensively ex-bourbon barrels over to Gaelic lands to fill them with pot still whiskeys.Just roll 'em up to that Jules Verne-looking contraption over in the shed next door!Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barturtle Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Interesting, as Louisville, KY just became the Sister City of Bushmills, Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepcycle Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Well, B-F Woodford is even closer. So you're getting hot. Interesting Idea from Gary that someone from across the pond might be at the helm. That's exactly correct. This guy had The Power at a major distillery. An the barrels wouldn't have to be shipped anywhere since this site has some used cooperage on site. In fact, some has been used twice.

pepcycle Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Early Times would be a good guess if the barrels were used for whiskey. But they're not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
