Not Perturbed

A deep, dark, almost smoky smelling wine. Initial funk blows off quickly, and barely merits a note. At first there is nothing Zinfandel about it, but with air, the classic plummyness gradually shines. Dark berry becomes ubiquitous, and even some of the *cheap* fruit-forward porty jazz pushes its way to the forefront, revealing a wine COMPLETELY Zinfandel–no questions about it.

Nothing excites…

WHISKYCAST EPISODE 617: NOVEMBER 27, 2016

What we think of today as the boom in craft distilling started 20 years ago this year, when San Francisco brewer Fritz Maytag bottled the first batch of Old Potrero Single Malt Straight Rye Whiskey at Anchor Brewing in the city's Potrero Hill neighborhood. In 1993, Maytag and his staff cobbled together parts to build a distillery inside the brewery, long known for its Anchor Steam beer, and Bruce Joseph was put in charge of running the still. Today, Bruce Joseph is still Anchor's head distiller, and he'll join us for this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, the results of this year's International Wine & Spirits Competition are in, with William Grant & Sons taking top honors. Two more estate distilleries are being proposed in Scotland, and while North Dakota is known for its barley...it's never been known for its whiskey...until now. Glen Fargo American Malt Whiskey was unveiled this week in Fargo, and we'll find out how its creator avoided a costly legal battle over the name. We'll also have details on this week's new whiskies, along with a way to count down the days - or drams - until Christmas.

Old Potrero Hotaling's Single Malt Whiskey, 12-year

Just when I thought I had my palate figured. Oh, tastebuds... what? 

Wow. Another local distillery. Says whiskey. Drinks like whiskey. Is incredibly clean and smooth and soothing. Nothing too overpowering but definitely complex (and worth its price tag). But the mash is apparently 100% rye. I don't even know how that stands with everything else I've learned about what I like. It was good though!
