Wine finished bourbons are becoming more common (Big Bottom, Angel's Envy, etc.) and I think we will see more of them.skuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487419662314518931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-50951429467433505012012-04-24T12:58:32.252-07:002012-04-24T12:58:32.252-07:00Christ, here we go again.

Another attempt to cash in on the bourbon name without doing the work.<br /><br />If you're going to make "Wine-barrel-aged whiskey" by all means do so, but leave Bourbon off the label. <br /><br />The above person from the company goes on about how they want to be tied to a quality product and not stereotyped or gimmicked... and yet they stamp the proud Bourbon tag on something that is clearly NOT Bourbon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-51729962384241261932012-04-24T12:51:42.863-07:002012-04-24T12:51:42.863-07:00If you want your name tied to a quality product, m...If you want your name tied to a quality product, make a quality product. This isn't making a quality product, it's taking Bourbon and dumping it into a wine barrel. <br /><br />If you want to make wine-flavored whiskey, fine. But leave the word Bourbon out of this because it has nothing to do with Bourbon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-29087626989306019302012-02-29T10:19:14.343-08:002012-02-29T10:19:14.343-08:00Hello, I think there may be some disconnect and in...Hello, I think there may be some disconnect and inaccuracy floating around that I wanted to address. We are a really small spirits producer (DSP) in Sonoma. I wanted to assure you that we have followed all Federal regulations and requirements for formula and label approval and that "Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Pinot Noir Barrels" is an accurate TTB class\type description on the front panel of what is in the bottle. All other legal references are accurate. I can assure you that we purchased it from a respectable Kentucky distiller but have agreed to non-disclosure which is now part of the story and hype. Please note that the label is somewhat generic. We took this approach because we wanted our brand to be tied to a quality tasting spirit and not an industry name or stereotype. We will be making label changes for future lots only to reflect the specifics of each lot we have been aging. Bottom line is that the product tastes good, is well priced, getting great feedback and following for a small 1200 bottle first lot. Thank you for all the positive feedback!<br />If you want additional information please contact me through our website www.prohibition-spirits.com Cheers.Fred and Amy Grothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00229297869085959682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-53321545564443317522012-02-09T15:29:39.595-08:002012-02-09T15:29:39.595-08:00I just bought a bottle from the K&L store in R...I just bought a bottle from the K&L store in Redwood City and they told me the whiskey is from LDI. In fact the bottlers weren't aware that LDI is NOT in Kentucky when they printed the labels so the next release will have a revised label.EricHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-39963141658698295622012-01-07T08:34:28.009-08:002012-01-07T08:34:28.009-08:00Well, for me the name seals the deal.

Don't know anyone doing a mash bill higher than 38%. I did have it and it tastes great that just struck me as odd as well as the use of spring water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-4418176093348279532012-01-05T09:52:26.857-08:002012-01-05T09:52:26.857-08:00Lazer, I don't know if you can see from the pi...Lazer, I don't know if you can see from the picture, but the label is actually quite subtle.
