·Straight from Dublin, and after a 50 yr hiatus from the market, I got a package from Mitchell & Sons. Red Spot is available guys. I also ordered a wine finished green spot to try as well but I’m so happy to have the Red. I’m going to crack it open now...

·Well, not exactly today, but a few days ago:
The turkey got a final fix of Gevrey-Chambertin before going in the oven at 8am (it helps keep it from drying out, so I try to tell myself), then the bottle gets decanted and I get to spend the rest of the day have a conversation with it. Nothing like having a good excuse to open Burgundy in the morning.

·A lot of hype online about this one, so I thought I’d try it. This is an UNblended whiskey. I have a feeling @Foo2rama can explain it, but I believe it means no clear spirit is added in. “American whiskey” because it doesn’t fit the bourbon ingredient requirement (Michter makes a bourbon and a Rye as well, a sour mash too). I have a feeling this is wheater because it’s so creamy and vanilla-like, but I’m no expert and they don’t say what the mash bill is. It’s only about 70 usd, I’ll be buying again as it’s an excellent everyday pour.

Similarly single malt means it’s from the same distillery And most unless noted as single barrel is blended. So a12 year old means that the youngest is 12 but will most likely contain older juice in it to have consistency through the productions.
Unlike Bourbon or Rye, which, by definition, must be aged in new oak barrels, our US1 Unblended American Whiskey is aged in a way that utilizes whiskey-soaked barrels to achieve a rich and unique flavor profile. In late 2013, then Master Distiller Willie Pratt agreed to re-release our US1 Unblended American Whiskey after a nearly three-year absence from the market, deeming it “just right” and “the best it’s ever been.” Crucially, our US1 Unblended American Whiskey never contains grain neutral spirits – hence its “unblended” distinction.
So with that on their website it means basically nothing. It’s not single barrel and thier mention that it contains no grain neutral spirits is meaningless except that’s it all grain based unless they want to say what the mash bill is.
Some brands may use cheaper neutral spirits from stuff other then grain (think vodka) as part of the base to make a cheaper base before put into barrels.

Love this stuff. Great old school Belgian farmhouse ale. 6.8abv needs to be a bit warmer then fridge temp to enjoy. Fruity and flowery nose, nice unfiltered Belgian style with a dry finish, warms to a hint of vanilla. Great warmer weather brew. I’ve aged this one 2.5 years since it was brewed hence the slight vanilla notes.
