I’m still working through a backlog of interesting whiskey stories written on various other websites, so some of the latest links are below. As I had mentioned on Friday, I’m trying out a new “curation of other stories” model for some of the posts on The Whiskey Wash accompanied by a fun photo. Enjoy!
- Is an age statement on that expensive bottle of Scotch you are considering for purchase a deciding factor in the final analysis? Some whisky makers are betting it isn’t.
- A young whiskey distillery in Houston, Texas currently looking to expand through Kickstarter is in a bit of a scuffle with other local distilleries on who was the first in town to set up shop. Perhaps a whiskey drinking contest will solve the matter?
- Maryland’s got a new craft distillery that, among other things, has in the works its own spin on the once well known Maryland rye whiskey style.
- Does Jack Daniel’s make good whiskey? Here’s a behind the scenes story that might help you answer that.
- Buffalo Trace is a true strong force behind American bourbon. Why? Three words – Pappy.Van.Winkle.
- And, speaking of bourbon, stocks of this whiskey type currently aging in Kentucky are said to have returned to their 1970s levels. This is good news for distillers and drinkers alike!
