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.

    Read the list of liquors and thought "no way will that taste good". I was wrong. Maybe a tad too sweet, but ten out of ten, would recommend.

  • Re Warm lsle Guest, 23 hours 58 minutes ago Shawn C commented:

    I added instructions, assumed it would be shaken w/ice.

  • Re Spirit of Agave, 1 day 10 hours ago drinkingandthinking commented:

    Perfection. Simple to make but more complex that you would think. Margarita +.

  • Re Unusual Negroni, 1 day 10 hours ago drinkingandthinking commented:

    I've made this many times before finding it here. I just called it a white negroni riff, but I guess it actually existed before me. It's my go to "lazy" drink whenever I have Lillet. Always hits the spot.

    Used a no-age-statement Islay. 10yo tawny. Subbed Montenegro for Nonino—either I was heavy-handed with the maraschino or the Montenegro can't stand up to it. My glass was a little Maraschinish. Really tasty up drink, though.
