SIPS – On this episode we discuss whiskey that is finished in a honey cask. There has been quite the buzz about this type of product lately and this is because the production process was altered by the iconic release of Belle Meade Honey Cask. We take a look at 12 of these products in an epic blind tasting, rank our top 5, and rate everything. We’ll talk about the challenging process to replicate, why this is so difficult to do well, and you’ll be shocked at some of the choices in the Top 5.  We will be discussing this honey cask finished whiskies and rating them from 1-5 with 5 being the best:

Top 5 - *

Davidson Reserve – Bourbon SIPS - 3

* Davidson Reserve – TN Whiskey SIPS-3

* Nashville Barrel Company -Bourbon Batch 1 SIPS- 3

Nulu Bourbon SIPS -1

Wheeler's Raid Bourbon – SIPS - 3

Wild Turkey American Honey SIPS -1

* Starlight Bourbon SIPS-4

Smooth Ambler Bourbon- Whiskey House Nashville SIPS- 2

Jack Daniels Honey SIPS -1

Good Times Bourbon SIPS - 1

* King's Family Distillery- Ryeconic – SIPS -4

* Belle Meade Honey Cask – SIPS- 4

Post production corrections – proper term removing water is Hygroscopic (thanks Jeff). We also did not make the proper reference to King’s Family Distillery and used the term “Estate”, sorry. Both Cary Ann and Mike got that wrong under the influence of alcohol. And honey.

Barger was the most expendable cast member but failed to wear the proper wardrobe.

The idea of this blind originated at Whiskey House Nashville, a private social club, and this blind actually contained the Whisky House Nashville Old Scout 5 yr finished in a honey cask. In full disclosure both Mike and Cary Ann consulted on that project. Mike, Cary Ann, and Barger are also Trustees at Whiskey House Nashville as well.
