Popular Post Tonik Posted December 11, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 So one of my kids new customers is a very famous bourbon maker in Kentucky. We spent the day with their master distillers not long ago. Needless to say we learned a lot. Yesterday we put that knowledge to the test, it is fermenting now and based on all the initial indicators this batch might be off the charts. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Thought there was a way to fast-age bourbon via electrolysis, yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The requirements for aging bourbon are actually federal law. New oak barrel, period. Anything else is whiskey. There is some irony there, an illegal moonshiner quoting federal law.

I think its ridiculously overpriced Facts my ass, your post was devoid of facts. Here are the facts, they put it in a barrel for a split second to meet the letter of the law. Then they put it in a pressure vessel full of wood chips and pressurize the shit out of it for 24 hours to turn it brown with none of the advantages of aging it. You and your buddy can call it anything you want, but that don't make it anything other than what it is. Shitty brown colored cornshine. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
