Beer Barrel Bourbon

[Tric'hard Lenxheir]

Tried something new last night. It is called "Dragon's Milk Beer Barrel Bourbon". A bourbon whiskey aged in beer barrels. This gives it a bit of a malty taste along with hints of vanilla that they add in as well. I mainly tried it because it was made in my home state and I try to support companies from my state when I can. I enjoyed it's smooth finish. I do recommend it if you are looking for something new to try. CHEERS!

I've heard of aging beer in bourbon barrels -- actually the one type of stout I don't care for -- so to see the inverse done is more surprising than I feel like it should be. Looks pretty good, I may have to see if I can get it here across the lake.

I am required to note by my hometown, Bardstown, that bourbon is made here...Alright that is out of the way.

But I am actually more interested in the box of donut holes in the background. Are those timbits??

Now that one I can answer. It's a yes. Have seen that box and boxes like it far too many times, haha.
I've been through Bardstown, at least. My uncle used to live in E-town, and Radcliff before that.

A bit more back on topic: I notice Dragon's Milk does beer barrel-aged bourbon, and bourbon barrel-aged stout. Seems to be a rather handy cycle when you can keep it going yourself.

I see their Dragon's Milk Reserve is "Bourbon barrel-aged stout with stroopwafel cookies, coffee, caramel, and cinnamon". Now, in some regards, I'm a simple man -- I see stroopwafel, I pay closer attention. But I thought @Bråneu Excelsio might be interested as well, not sure if his love of coffee extends to a love of things that have a bit of coffee taste to them :P

Ah yes, very familiar with Radcliff and Elizabethtown. E-town is considered the nearby "big city" for us small-town people.

Tric'hard I am, uh, envious of that box of timbits. Thankfully there will be opportunities for enjoyment in the near future. As for the bourbon, the Kentucky Bourbon Festival just occurred here in town so it is inescapable where I currently live, the Beer Barrel Bourbon sounds interesting. What would you say is your favorite bourbon to enjoy? It has been a while since I last had a drink but 1792 and Basil Hayden are two of my preferences.

Yes they are, my wife and her mother like to torture me with things I cannot have LOL My bucket list contains one major item that may actually be possible someday and that is to do the Kentucky Bourbon Trail

I am a big fan of Angel's Envy, truth is though that I am more of a scotch guy.

I hope that you are able to make it sometime soon. I am amazed at how much the industry has grown over the past 20 years.

I took a road trip through Kentucky this summer and learned a lot about Bourbon, and I must say this surprises me. One of the requirements for something to be called "Bourbon" is that it is aged in never-before-used barrels. I'm not sure how they get away with calling it Bourbon if they're aging it in old beer barrels.

Apparently I only got it partially right. It is aged in new american oak barrels before finishing in the beer barrels (a stout made by the same company) which provides a "softer, more rounded flavor with notes of vanilla and smooth dark malts"
