Prepared for extra nation music-inspired whiskey? Bluebird Days is a collaborative whiskey between musician Jordan Davis and Bluebird Distilling Grasp Distiller Jared Adkins — “and their shared love for an ideal bluebird day.”
The bottle is a mix of two of the Pennsylvania-based operation’s distillates — a bourbon and a wheat whiskey, each produced in-house however supplied with no age assertion.
The whiskey actually comes throughout as youthful and dominated by barrel char — with a little bit of an underbelly that evokes camphor (at greatest) and boozy acetone (at worst). This fades towards a eucalyptus high quality because it will get a little bit of air, and water is of assist on this tempering motion, as properly.
The palate lands quite on the tough facet, a mixture of burnt wooden melding fitfully with notes of orange oil, bitter hops, and a grassy high quality that I’d affiliate far more with rye than wheat whiskey. Gritty and inexperienced — although not notably earthy or muddy — the whiskey advantages right here as properly from water and/or air time, although not practically sufficient to raise it past a reasonably pedestrian pour that simply by no means actually comes into its personal.
Good bluebird day? Nonetheless looking for it.
