New Whiskey Labels: Amador, Seven Stills and The Last Drop
This week's most interesting new labels from the federal TTB database:
Amador Distillery, the folks who brought us the Corti Borthers Exquisite Whiskey, cleared a new label for Fillmore/Sacramento, an 8 year old bourbon finished in casks from Sonoma Portworks, bottled for D&M in San Francisco.
Seven Stills, the San Francisco distiller that makes whiskey from craft beer, has cleared a label for a whiskey made from Almanac Beer Company's Dogpatch Sour, the first whiskey I'm aware of distilled from a sour beer.
The Last Drop, the brand that makes hyper expensive blended Scotch, cleared a label for a single malt. The Last Drop Distilles Limited is a 47 year old Glen Garioch distilled in 1967, aged in a bourbon cask and bottled at cask strength.
Note: The fact that a label appears on the TTB database does not necessarily mean it will be produced. In addition, some details on the label, such as proof, can change in the final product.
Drie Fonteinen has distilled their lambic (http://www.thirstypilgrim.com/2010/01/drie-fonteinen-to-stop-brewing-keep.html) and they called it eaux di vie but I suppose you could call it whiskey if you put it in a barrel.
ReplyDeleteAt the place I distill (http://www.stonebarnbrandyworks.com/), we have distilled some barrels of beer from a local 'sour' beer producer Cascade Brewing. The distillate is very strange tasting, it's quite interesting but not sure when or if it will be released.
