    The initial release, available in stores later this month, is Hidden Barn Small Batch, composed of just seven barrels distilled by Master Distiller Royce Neeley and expertly blended by Master Blender Jackie Zykan.
    Together with their partners, Nate Winegar and Matt Dankner of Colorado’s 5280 Whiskey Society, Neeley and Zykan are embracing the spirit of “doing things the hard way” with their first series release - putting process and quality above all else.
    Hidden Barn Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey’s first series is comprised of distillate produced at the Neeley Family Distillery. In the spirit of doing things the hard way, Master Distiller Royce Neeley touches every step of the process from grain to aging, personally hand-collecting wild Kentucky yeast, carefully monitoring a 5-day fermentation using traditional cypress fermenters, and personally distilling and hand-cutting the double pot distillation.
    The Whiskey Made the Hard Way series was fermented using wild yeast and is double pot distilled. It was collected at 127 proof, and entered the barrel at 110 proof. The seven barrels represent some of the first lots to mature under the watchful eye of Neeley. To maintain the integrity and viscosity of the liquid, the bourbon is screened for sediment and sees no additional filtration.
    Hidden Barn Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Batch #001 is presented at an undiluted batch proof of 53% ABV and offered at a suggested retail price of $74.99. The initial offering will be available in Kentucky, Colorado, Florida and California, with more distribution expected before the end of the year.

    4 yr. old whiskey at 53% abv., are you sure the 'spice' isn't maybe a little ethanol burn? Hard pass at $75; too much good stuff out there for less. I wish them good luck though.

    Being someone who loves butterscotch and really enjoys spirits of french lick, im interested. Ive had plenty of younger whiskies i enjoyed. Young doesnt bug me as long its done well and they are straightforward about it. Its a new company give them time.

    So in six weeks, do you believe she impacted the grain and yeast that led to a 4+ year whiskey? Her palate may have picked the several barrels that led to the small batch. Someone else deserves credit for grain selection and yeast.

    Is it Jackie Zycan and “her team”….or is Jackie on the Neely Team? I think it’s the later. They were doing this well before her, to call it her team after a month just seems off.

  • @kane6106
    @kane6106 2 роки тому +4

    Appreciate the review, but young whiskey isn't worth the coin, no matter who "blended" it. Too much good stuff on the market to drink inferior whiskey. But, a lot of new drinkers will probably buy it because older age-stated stuff is damn near all allocated and unavailable to the casual drinker these days.

    Was this purchased by yourself or were you given a media sample? If it was a media sample its kinda hard to take this review seriously. If it was anyone else it would have been reviewed more negatively, but cant bite the hand that feeds you.

    • @TheMashandDrum
      @TheMashandDrum  2 роки тому

      This was a media sample. Like I said....I like it because it's different. But most folks would probably find this less appealing based on the grain forwardness. I'm always honest no matter where I get samples or bottles from. I've given plenty of negative reviews on free samples.

    • @LeatherDaddy97
