The Project www.50stateblend.com

This idea grew organically, fueled by a fascination with the unusual, supported by the growing availability of American craft whiskey and motivated by a desire to share the journey with others.

More than eight different types of American whiskeys comprise the 50 State Blend including fourteen bourbons, fourteen ryes, twelve single malts, one single malt rye, one Tennessee whiskey (duh!) one millet, one sorghum and six whiskies that don’t cleanly fit in any of those particular categories.

Each draft of the 50 State Blend keeps the ingredients constant but changes their proportions. Barrel-finishing was introduced to the process  beginning with Draft #4.

Will it be wood, stainless steel or concrete?!?

News of New Releases- Middleton & Bushmills, Texas, Bulleit and Suntory

Over the centuries loads of whiskey marks have disappeared. Some have endured, yet many have sunk against stiff competition and changing fashions.  Now and again documentation of lost marques appearce to remind collectors what's been lost to history. Unusal bottles are found in out houses, signs are listed on online auction sites. Or toby jugs, ashtrays and other marketing ephemera appear at sunday markets, second hand shops or I saw you coming dealers.

A toast to that extra special day of the year!
