Sample sharing with my buddy from work continues as part of “Operation Beyond Beam White Label,” named after one of his favorite easy sipping whiskies, the standard Jim Beam White Label. So far, he’s experimented with a variety of cask finishes, stave finishes, and double barrel/double oak bourbons and one cask-finished rye.
As part of a further foray into ryes, I’m giving him three samples of non-cask finished rye whiskies – 2 “barely legal” ryes with 51% rye, a high percentage of corn, & malted barley + 1 “high rye/95/5” rye with 95% rye and 5% malted barley. The “high rye” rye is the Templeton 4 Year, which is a very accessible and great introductory rye in that category.
He’s really liking French Oak stave finished bourbons, the Penelope Project X PX Sherry Cask Finished single barrel Virginia ABC single barrel, and some of the double barrel/double oaked bourbons.
