May 04, 2023408 - Single Rickhouse Bottlings and Fixing Single Barrel Saturation on Bourbon Community Roundtable #80
We've got two juicy topics to tackle so here's what we've got. Last year we saw the release of Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse limited edition offering. That sparked a Vine Pair article that asked if single rickhouse bottlings will be the next big thing? I wanted to challenge that a bit and figure out if we really think there are varied flavor profiles based on rickhouses or are they cherry-picking barrels to make another marketing angle. In the second half of the show we discuss the current state of single barrels. They are flooded on shelves across the nation and they aren't selling like they used to. How will this get fixed or is this a side-effect of the COVID buying frenzy?
Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about entry proof.
Are single rickhouse bottlings going to be the next big thing?
Do different rickhouses provide different flavor profiles or is this a marketing angle?
How will we fix the abundance of single barrel offerings on the shelves across the nation?
Is this a side effect of the covid buying frenzy?

April 27, 2023407 - More Mind Blowing Stave Science on Bourbon Aging with Andrew Wiehebrink of ISC
How much influence does the barrel have on the whiskey you drink? If you talk to a lot of people in the industry you will get a rough estimate of 70% or more flavor gets extracted from the barrel. We've had a few coopers on the show to talk about process, and even today's guest was back on Episode 346. We were so amazed at some of his research we wanted him to come back on the show to talk about more mind blowing stave science. Andrew Wiehebrink is the Director of Spirits Research and Innovation for Independent Stave Company. That means he leads up all the cool advancements on where barrel trends are heading. We talk about the current barrel shortage and if toasted products are the reason to blame, where the future of oak alternatives are heading, and why there is a trend of distilleries moving tog Char 1 vs Char 4.
