i was at a cigar shop the other day and some guys were talking about bourbon and cigars and they ere going back and forth about which cigars they have and how long they been ageing and it got me thinking, that is one advantage or pro cigars and us cigar smokers have over bourbon..once bourbon leaves the barrel thats it, ts done ageing that process is killed and over with..but with cigars they dont have to be sitting on the farm, or factory, or warehouse to age..we can continue the ageing the process in our own homes..i wish their was a way to do so also with bourbon..you know buy 2 bottles of 10 year old bourbon open one and age the other for another 10 years..i know sounds stupid but ive always wish there was a way..

Denali:

At least one company gives you that opportunity with their Single Malt or their Rye.

They are pretty local to me. I sent Whistle a bottle of their pot-stilled Single Malt to try out. We'll wait for him to get home and give us a review.

You can.

Buy a barrel, buy a couple bottles, put in barrel and let it sit.

It's going to taste a lot different due to the different wood though. Unless the distillery sells their used barrels (and does small batch barrel aging)) There's a few craft distillerys that do 5 gallon barrels. I've bought a barrel from one in Michigan a few years ago and ran a couple batches of beer through it until the flavor was shot.

I'm thinking maybe find some white whiskey and barrel it yourself.

You're welcome Ron. When you get a chance, give me your honest opionion of the Pot Stilled Single Malt I sent you. That one is made here in VA as well. They have a secret process that they are patenting. I haven't tried it but if it's good, I'll grab a couple bottles.

Wasmund's Single Malt Whisky

Unlike anything I've had before.

On the nose I'd say closer to a scotch.Stone fruit,smoke,vanilla and some unidentifiable aromas.

On the palette it kicks off more like bourbon.What first hit me was an unidentifiable semi sweet taste.....then it breaks down into a woody,not oak a much sweeter woody taste,cinnamon,apple,a little vanilla and stone fruit.I've got to say at this point Macallan 18 came to mind.A lot going on here I just can't identify all of it.Don't get me wrong....no one that knows scotch is going to confuse this with Macallan 18 but the complexity at this point is much the same.

The finish is excellent......as it rolls off the tongue it's slightly dry,again in a woody sort of way but not oak dry,and herbal with just enough warmth to remind you this is a whisky.The finish is quite long and evolves into a tobacco taste that I really dig.

I paired this with some Hal o the Wynd,a Virginia and perique blend from Rattray's,in a cob.I can see where a cigar would go well with this also.

Thanks again to CRGCPRO for the opportunity to try this excellent and unique whisky.
