Feb. 10: Drammers Denver......
Hello Denver Drammers!
Our next Drammers whisky and spirits tasting is coming up on Friday, February 10th at 7pm, and a big thank you to Whiskey Bar for hosting us again (in their downstairs space, 2203 Larimer Street downtown)! We've put together a fun lineup that we'll be drinking through, which you can read more about below. We hope you can join us! As usual, anyone who has been to one of our events is welcome to invite friends to join.
Cheers,
Charlie, Clarke, Zareen and Drammers Club
Here are 6 of the Bottles We’ll Be Drinking at the Event:
Inevitably, the headliners for this event are going to be surprise bottles that Forbes pulls out, as we experienced last time! And in addition, we've got some fun bottles that we're bringing to the party too...
Glenlivet Nadurra OL0818. Cask strength Glenlivet? Yes please! We tracked this bottle down at auction and have been saving it for a special occasion. It was bottled fairly recently (August of 2018) but was hard to find even back then and today can mostly only be found on occasion at auction. We've opened one of these before, and it is particularly tasty. Matured in 1st fill Oloroso sherry cask, cask strength 60.2% abv.
Stauning Danish Whisky - 2 Drammers-Exclusive Single Barrels. Our latest picks to arrive are these two special single barrels from Stauning Danish Whisky -- a double oaked floor malted rye, and a peated single malt whisky, both selected by a majority vote of our members during a special online tasting event and distillery tour of Stauning. We're extremely proud to say that our barrels are the very first single barrels Stauning released in the United States.
Copper & Kings Brandy - Finished in a Tequila Cask. This barrel pick recently arrived from the Copper & Kings distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. They specialize in American brandy and here we've got a single barrel of brandy aged in a tequila cask, bottled at cask strength of 62.5% abv. It is available exclusively to members of our club.
Copper & Kings Gin - Matured in a Sherry Cask. We also picked up this unusual barrel. Who ever heard of a gin matured in a sherry cask?!? I tried this at the distillery with Sean Crain, the head of our Indianapolis chapter, and we immediately looked at each other and said "we need this for Drammers". Ha. A fun one.
High Wire Distilling Co. - Benton's Smoked Jimmy Red Bourbon Whiskey. Our friends at the High Wire Distillery in Charleston have released this distillery-only expression, partnering with Benton's, the producer's of the famous smoked bacon, to smoke their already unique Jimmy Red corn bourbon! You have to see the pictures of how they do it to believe it. Super yummy, and super unqiue. 45% abv.
That's our lineup so far - and we’ll add a couple fun surprises to this for sure. :). In the meantime, we hope you can join us!
