Introducing RBB Dream Spirits 9 Year Old Bourbon!
We are proud to introduce the 50th Rhody Barrel Brotherhood Barrel! We knew this barrel had to be special. It had to be a knock it out of the park barrel. The RBB community got that! Working with industry legend Prav Saraff and his whiskey company Dream Spirits, the RBB gang was lucky to secure a 9 year old Dream Spirits Bourbon for our 50th barrel. We are blown away by how far we have come in three short years. It is amazing that we are able to continue to release firsts after 50 barrels with this 9 Year Old barrel.
After you have some time with this pick, drop us some comments and let us know what YOU think about the RBB Dream Spirits Barrel!

    Siete Leguas is a tequila brand that translates to "seven leagues". The name refers to the distance a person could travel by horse in one day, which is about 42 miles. It's also the name of the favorite horse of Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa, who named it for its speed and endurance.

It sounds like a very different expression! I am excited to try and find these Dewat’s double doubles. They sound beautifully complex which is important to me.

Crucially, brands are not required to disclose the presence of additives if they fall below that threshold, despite the fact that a single drop can radically alter the palate of a full-sized bottle."

I prefer the flavor of the Arette. Give it a try, it is actually $35 a liter also vs $55 for a 750 of the Siete. Love all 3 basic expressions of the El Tesoro. The Anejo is one of my current favorites in Anejos. Another great additive free choice that is readily available is Tequila Ocho.

    All of the tequilas in my booze collection at home are additive free. For years, I was wary of tequila and mostly drank mezcal instead because tequila had a tendency to induce headaches, whereas mezcal didn't. Mezcal doesn't use the same kinds of additives that are found in industrial tequila. When additives are used in mezcal, it is typically infusions of fruit or herbs, or hanging meat or other items in the still. These add something interesting to the spirit and don't typically cause headaches. If tequila had these kinds of additives, I wouldn't object, as long as it was stated on the label, as it is for mezcal. It seems that some of the tequila additives can be downright nasty (artificial sweeteners, for example). Also, they mask the natural flavors of the agave and are often used to make up for deficiencies in the agave or the production methods. It would be nice if alcoholic beverages had the same labeling requirements as all other food and drink products and were required to list ingredients and nutritional information. Additives aren't always bad, but I want to know when they are present. I'm glad that awareness of tequila additives has increased. One of the local stores in my area has recently started indicating on the price label which tequilas are additive free, and two of the local bars stock almost exclusively additive free tequilas, though they still have to keep a few of the additive bombs around since they are popular. Hopefully, a similar movement in the direction of transparency and purity will happen for brandy and rum, but it will be more difficult since those spirits are made in numerous countries, each of which has its own regulations.
