Barrel Camp Was A Big Hit
Taste Select Repeat hosted our first ever Barrel Camp last month and it was a huge success.Ā
People travelled from Kentucky, Florida, North Carolina, New York and New Jersey on January 14th toĀ learn the ropesĀ and pick two barrelsĀ of rye whiskey at the NewĀ York Distilling Co. in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Ā Ā
After a quickĀ tasting tutorial courtesy of OJ Lima, Kymi Lander-Douglas and Tim McKee, 12 barrels were sampled, featuring a mash bill of 15% Rye, 13% Corn, both from New York, and 12% Malted Barley.Ā
The winning barrels wereĀ 960 (7 years, 8 months and 6 days) and 944 (8 years, 3 months and 29 days). Both will be bottled atĀ 115 proof andĀ available at a later date.Ā
