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.

    Rosemary is unneeded and in fact a bit dissonant when included. Substitute a grapefruit peel for the lemon peel to amplify rhum agricole grassiness, if you wish.

  • Re Baby Turtle, 4 hours 9 minutes ago Jojiro commented:

    A lot of San Francisco cinnamon syrups, influenced primarily by Trick Dog and Trick Dog alumni, use a recipe that is much more cinnamon-forward than what you'd find on the East Coast. This turns out to matter for this drink, where cinnamon is a star player. Punch lists the cinnamon syrup recipe as follows:

    "Cinnamon Syrup
    4 cups white sugar
    2 cups water
    25 grams (about 10) cinnamon sticks

    Combine the sugar and water in a pan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Gently crush the cinnamon sticks, then add them to the syrup. As soon as you see bubbles, cover and turn off the heat. Let sit for 20 minutes, then strain, label, date and refrigerate."

    This is ~2.5x the cinnamon by mass (presumably more than that by surface area) more than what Death & Company, Juliette Laroui, or Alley Twenty Six call for for their syrups, and the simple syrup is rich (2:1 sugar to water) as well.

    I tried it with both the 1:1:1 ratio and the 1:2:3 ratio using Rittenhouse rye, though after trying both I used up the last of my Cocchi Americano :( The 1:1:1 was a Braulio bomb and too heavy on sugar, while the 1:2:3 ratio felt a bit astringent, grippy from the rye. I suspect that while it would taste better with Bulleit rye (90 proof to Rittenhouse's 100 proof), it would be similarly astringent. There's a really strong drink in here somewhere: the three ingredients have great synergy. I'd love to see if Kobie Ali or any of the folks at Backbar ever rejiggered this, because there's a five-star drink that's possible here I think, with just these three ingredients and some lemon oil. With the two presented ratios, this drink is merely average. May revisit and update this comment if I get more Cocchi.

  • Re Fist Bump, 4 hours 43 minutes ago Jojiro commented:

    I don't know aquavit drinks well, so I rated it a 5/5 just to match the previous ratings before me. It was tasty, balanced, but also a bit ambiguous - the Cappelletti, banana, and white wine base didn't jump out as they usually do when I see those ingredients. It reads more tropical than it tastes, landing closer to an aquavit spin on a High Five or Cosmopolitan than a tiki drink. Make of that what you will.

    As a big fan of the Corpse Reviver #2 and a bigger fan of the Lazarus Project I do think this drink is different enough to distinguish itself - but man, I don't like those differences.
