Week #9

Did manage to sneak in a tasting last week, but forgot to post about it. As noted, with the time crunch of the approaching wedding, things have gotten less scientific. This also has to do with the fact that the bourbon hasn't changed much, so there's not a ton to talk about.

This week, my wife-to-be and I each took a sample. Our conclusions: this bourbon is going to be dangerously easy to drink. I may actually bottle it early.

Week #8

Ok, so I knew this bourbon would finish up right around the wedding, and it looks like I will be bottling just about a week and a half before the big day. The good news is that we'll have some tasty bourbon on hand to deal with those crazy final ten days. The bad news is that I thought I was busy during that first bourbon, and everything has simply ramped up since then. I did manage to get my Week 8 tasting in, though I had to squeeze it in while cleaning the kitchen and throwing together dinner, and before getting back to work on the card box that really should have been easier than I'm making it.

As for the bourbon, it is tasty. We received a spirits decanter (as opposed to a wine decanter, which we also got), and I am excited to transfer this batch to it, and start enjoying glasses of this over ice with some lemon. It is going to be delicious.

Hopefully, I manage to get a little more time for a Week 9 tasting!

Week #7

...will be delayed until further notice.
