Nicely shit, they received Lew and Camper, so this should be good.
Anyhoo, I didn’t attend any of the panel discussions — which don’t have something to do with this whiskey equipment, by the best way — however I did crack open a equipment and style the whiskeys inside. The packaging is kind of stunning and the bottles are all numbered so you’ll be able to style them blind should you’d like. (Their identities are included in a shade fold-out sheet that’s included within the field should you don’t care about guessing — which I ended up doing only for kicks. It could be extra enjoyable for many patrons if the class was extra acquainted.)
Finally, these had been largely whiskies that Drinkhacker has collectively reviewed, so I figured only some surprises had been in retailer for me personally. I’m not going to publish the total record of spirits within the equipment right here in case of spoilers — you could find it on Bevridge’s web site if you wish to see — and was solely mildly stunned to see myself rapidly gravitate to 2 of the ten whiskeys, Virginia Distillery Co.’s near-perfect Braveness & Conviction (customary bottling) and Westward’s hearty Stout Cask expression. A extra stunning honorable point out goes to Boulder‘s delicate and fascinating Peated Single Malt whiskey, which I hadn’t seen earlier than. There’s definitely loads extra to experiment with within the equipment should you’re unfamiliar with the American single malt universe because it stands in the present day, together with a number of semi-rarities, and I used to be happy to see a fairly broad collection of malts on the entire — although be aware that solely six totally different distilleries are represented.
Once more, $249 is asking an terrible lot for what you’re getting right here. That’s $25 a shot — and delivery isn’t included. Get this right down to the $150 degree and it’s a extra attention-grabbing proposition that will work outdoors of a luxe Christmas or birthday present.
