Mashbills, Geeky Information and Resources

This is the last installment in a series on Bourbon by Zach Pearson. Read them all: Bourbon, Bourbon After the Act, Bourbon: What it is ... and isn't, Making Bourbon, Who Makes My Bourbon, Producer Capsules., Finding the Good Stuff, Tasting the Good Stuff, Neat, Mashbills, Geeky Information and Resources.

As a note, I can’t claim credit for any of this. This section is the work of a couple of users on the StraightBourbon.com website, mainly Josh, Oscar and a guy named Taanstafl2 – and see the note just below. But it’s too important to leave out even if it’s a bit more advanced.

For mashbills, I referred to The Book of Bourbon and Other Fine American Whiskeys by Regan & Regan, 2009, unless otherwise noted. Barton, WT, and Dickel are noted as approximate.

I use the format: Distillery Brand Name (%corn/%rye or wheat/%malted barley). This is a breakdown of "macro" distillers. Wondering what the different char levels look like? This is a good illustration.

    Lovely sipper; tastes like a great nightcap but wonderfully low ABV

  • Re Liquid Smoke, 6 hours ago danoman89 commented:

    Really incredible margarita variant. Smoky, rich, and sweet.

  • Re Midnight Diplomat, 3 days ago Thompson70 commented:

    Beautiful play on a Vieux Carré. The added Cynar, at the expense of sweet vermouth, adds an earthy, bittersweet depth. Used cherry wood for the smoke and really enjoyed that.

  • Re Ginger Sidecar, 4 days ago lcwareham commented:

    Good, but a little sweet. Try 1 oz cognac and 1 1/4 ginger

  • Re Shinkansenspotter, 4 days ago KateGrossman commented:

    This is great. Be sure to stir with ice to dilute sufficiently. Boozy but also light and soft.
