Charlie MacNeil, SASS #48580 Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 When we travel to different states, we try to find whiskeys, preferably either bourbons or ryes, that are bottled there. Fer instance: when my son lived in Wyoming, he was only about 30 miles from Kirby Creek Distillery, which produces a small batch bourbon called Wyoming Whiskey in a postage stamp sized town called Kirby, Wyoming. He now lives in Eureka, Nevada where they sell another small batch bourbon made relatively locally called Two Bitch. Gardiner and Livingston, Montana, when we were there last fall, had Neversweat Bourbon, bottled in Billings. There's also a small distillery in Madras, Oregon, near where my other son lives, that makes a killer small batch rye. Stein Distillery in Joseph, Oregon also makes a pretty good rye, but I like the Madras one better. On our recent trip to Winter Range, we discovered Copper City Bourbon, which is distilled and bottled by AZ Distilling in Tempe from local grains. So far, as far as I'm concerned, it's a toss-up between Neversweat, from Billings, Montana and Copper City. both are mellow and smooth and quite tasty... Whatcha got in your area?
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Right now our local distilleries are 'essential'-- because they are all making hand sanitizer along with the booze!

Sedalia Dave Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 If you understand the distilling process there is a lot of alcohol that isn't suitable for drinking.
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Thumb Butte distillery in Prescott made some mighty good Escalante Dark Rum. Used some sort of special sugar from Venezuela, but the government there made it impossible to produce it any more, much less export it to us, so they quit. They still produce some award winning beverages....or maybe not since the COVID is going to kill us all before we can get out to buy it.
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 My go-to Whiskey is either Bulleit or Buffalo Trace. OLG
Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 https://www.richlandrum.com/ It's in Richland, GA just east of Plains on US 280. Don't know what it tastes like yet. Haven't made a liquor store run in a while.
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 Hand sanitizer is a great used for those barrels that don’t meet muster qualitiwise. .
Still hand Bill Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 Actually the TTB just changed the guidelines and now you have to use 190+ proof for making hand sanitizer. Means that any waste whiskey has to be redistilled in a column still before being used as sanitizer. Most whiskey distilleries don’t have that type of still. They can still buy alcohol and make sanitizers, probably cheaper to do that as GNS is around $3/gallon in bulk.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 TTB comes from the Alcohol Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau
Still hand Bill Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 Tax treasury bureau, formerly ATF, in charge of alcohol production in the us. GNS is grain neutral spirits, 190 proof alcohol made from grain.
