Burlock and Barrel Distillery 3/7/2020

7/16/2021

0 Comments

 
                I was first introduced to Burlock and Barrel in 2014 when I went to a tasting they hosted called the Bad Ass Mens Whiskey Night. (11/7/14) This was before they had the distillery operating. It put them on my radar and I stayed aware of their progress. Pictures from that tasting are long since evaporated, probably at the bottom of the hot tub three phones ago. Yes I did that before I went swimming with the last phone. 
​     This tasting was truly a local for me. Burlock and Barrel is right here in Jacksonville. My wife and I stopped by one afternoon and tasted some whiskey.

*Reserve 45%  ABV  (corn, malted barley and rye aged in 15 gal American oak casks)
     -smelled corn vanilla/oak
     -tasted rye!  and corn
     -trailed oak with pepper
     -w/water smelled rye
     -tasted corn/rye
     -trailed rye w/slight sweet
     Water pulled out the rye flavor. This is their core expression, an American Whiskey. The corn seems to counter the spiciness of the oak and rye well.

​*Whim Honey  35%  ABV (Orange blossom honey)
     -tasted peppery honey with corn
     The peppery undertone is probably from the oak. The honey and corn do a great job in smoothing out that bitterness. This is really a mixed drink in a bottle which is not my thing. Tasty though!

*Whim Jalapeno Honey  35%  ABV (Wildflower honey)
     -tasted tinge of jalapeno w/honey masking
     -trailed pepper/jalapeno quickly
     I like to taste the flavor of the pepper in spicy foods, not just feel the heat. This is a case of tasting the flavor of jalapeno with minimal burn. Also a tasty, premixed drink. It reminds me of an Umatilla Smash, a mixed drink I had at one of our meetings in 2012. It had a certain Florida whiskey in it and jalapeno as well.
