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.

    Delicious "Fall flavors" drink, with a very clean and well-balanced note of lemon. It has been re-named, likely for obvious reasons, as Le Moustache on the cocktail list at the Walrus & the Carpenter, where it was created. Cheers!

    This is one of the recipes that I uncovered from Dutch Kill's online recipe flashcard sets (that they have since locked or deleted). This recipe was dated 2024:

    This is a remarkably delicious drink! But I'm not convinced that the presence of egg white demands a dry shake. Has anyone else ignored that edict and simply shaken an egg-white drink in a conventional manner, all ingredients with the ice?

  • Re Gregor Samsa, 5 days ago Thierry Vandevelde commented:

    Indeed. I bugged the recipe. My Bad. Corrected. Thanks for the input.
