Hard Truth Distilling Co.’s Post

From whiskeys whose grains they can trace to specific Alberta fields to a wine program that feeds ports, brandies, and grappa, Bridgeland Distillery’s DIY flywheel is gaining momentum. https://lnkd.in/gacDXmx4

Region: New Zealand Distillery: Pōkeno Age: NAS ABV: 55.8 % Size: 700 ml Pōkeno Distillery is nestled in a warm, misty, humid valley surrounded by volcanic hills from which pure natural spring water is sourced. The Distillery uses some of the finest barley sourced from three family-owned farms in New Zealand's richly fertile South Island. This is what makes Pokeno Whisky so special in addition to a slow fermentation and distillation followed by a careful maturation process in first fill casks. The result is an incredibly rich whisky with notes of citrus combining beautifully with the deep flavours from the PX cask. There is dark chocolate, dried fruit and black forest gateaus with a deep long finish. This is in fact a double wood or a vatting of Single Malt Whiskies fully matured in first fill bourbon barrels and PX Sherry Hogsheads which have then been laid into a PX hogshead for a marrying period of several months to integrate the flavours. Bottled exclusively for Mizunara. https://lnkd.in/gCbBkK89

30 Gallons, Craft distillery, 1st fill Bourbon barrels. Using 30-gallon barrels for maturing spirits offers several advantages. The smaller size allows for a faster aging process compared to larger barrels, leading to quicker flavor development. This can be particularly useful if you're experimenting with different aging profiles or need to release products sooner. Additionally, the smaller barrels have a higher surface area-to-volume ratio, enabling more interaction between the spirit and the wood, resulting in more intense flavor extraction. However, keep in mind that this can also lead to over-aging if not monitored carefully. Ultimately, the choice depends on your desired flavor profile, maturation time, and experimentation goals. Art and Cask have secured a few containers of 30 Gallons barrels from a small craft American Bourbon distillery. Used for 3 years only, these rare vessels will do wonders to your Spirit maturation.

Enter Cedar Ridge into the equation. Its numbers are undeniable. In 49 states a major distillery produces the No. 1 best-selling bourbon in the state, whether Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark, Evan Williams, or, usually, Jack Daniel’s (yes, it’s a bourbon). But not in Iowa, where this craft bourbon first released in 2010 dominates, outselling its nearest major distillery competitors by some 35 percent. Perhaps that’s only fitting in America’s No. 1 corn-producing state.

We know we like the taste of American Single Malt Whiskey, but do you know what it takes to be defined as a single malt whiskey?! There’s four important steps that include: 🌲 The whiskey must be produced in a single U.S distillery 🌲 The mash must consist of 100% malted barley 🌲 The whiskey must be stored in smaller batch oak barrels when crafted 🌲 The finished distillation proof must be at least 160 and bottled with at least an 80 proof finished product Learn more about the important process of crafting an award-winning American Single Malt Whiskey by heading to our site! 🥃 https://lnkd.in/gWV3uKH9 #whiskey #whiskeyforgood
