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.

    There are a bunch of arugla gimlets out there! Back Bar (Somerville) has one called just "Arugula Gimlet" with basically the same receipt but with symple syrup instead of agave. Leah Hall has one (also called Roquette) but with honey syrup and slight more lime & syrup.

    Very good. Split base works well, while many cognac primary spirit cocktails are some how off. I used Cocchi di Torino for vermouth. The rye and lemon zest complement one another. The first time I made this I grabbed the Laird's Bonded (the Rittenhouse bottle is usually in front of it...) and didn't realize until I had poured. Considering my options, I decided orange peel would work better with the apple, and it did. In fact, my wife prefers this more fruit-forward variation.

    Adult like Don but a little predictable just like Don.

    FANTASTIC !!! I was incredibly lucky this evening to see this cocktail, and even more: to actually have all the ingredients at-hand.

    Delicious !! I have added this one into my own personal cocktail database, and have shared it with several friends.
