I see tasting events etc. in my future!

From their website:

Journeyman Distillery Traveling Barrel Program allows you to purchase a new whiskey barrel with the option of decorating the barrel before it is filled. You will be informed when your spirit has reached maturity and may then return to Journeyman Distillery to pick up your barrel and included bottles. The included bottles will come from your personal barrel. Aging times are only estimates, and completion of aging is subject to our distillers discretion. Options begin at $199.

Pretty cool.

Damn, that is a pretty sweet deal.

So, George, did you sample enough of the Rye to describe in a little more detail?

I had a favorite Rye in Templeton's - but I think I now have a new favorite!

The problem with sampling so many spirits at one time is trying to remember what one of the spirits tasted like out of all of them.

I did, though, specifically recall their "aged" gin. It tasted like whisky gin - but theirs is not a regular gin - they use bilberries with the juniper berries. The unaged gin did not taste like any other gin I've had (a much more subtle flavor). Aging the gin in whisky barrels made it a very unique whiskey like spirit. It intrigued me - not what I was expecting. Like whisky - but with a very subtle gin taste...
