Hello Houston Drammers!
We’re excited to announce a special tasting on Wednesday, February 4th at 7pm with Randall Hoover, the brand ambassador for Barrell Bourbon. We imagine Barrell needs little introduction, but just in case, they are the groundbreaking blenders behind some of the most innovative bourbon and rye releases of the last decade, including Dovetail, Seagrass and a lot more. We’ve long been enormous fans of this whiskey-making team, and have bought three single barrels with them over the years, two of which we’ll be bringing for this tasting. Randall will be letting us know soon the exact lineup for this event, and Barrell has so many releases, it will likely change and expand as we get closer to the event. Here’s an example of a lineup we did recently with members of the Barrell team in Boston and Philadelphia to give you a feel for what to expect:
Barrell Bourbon - Grey Label 15yo, 52.4% abv
Foundation Bourbon 5 year
Foundation Double Barrel Bourbon 5 year
Seagrass
Batch 037 Bourbon
Drammers Pick (KY Whiskey Finished in St. Agrestis Amaro)
12 Year French Oak (Red Label)
Toasted Dovetail (Black Label)
Likely the lineup in Houston will be even bigger! We hope you can join us! Since Kerim is out of town this month, Mike Baird has generously agreed to host (thanks Mike!). His address is: 7019 Royal Knoll, Pasadena, TX 77505. We'll order in light food (likely pizza) to try to make sure nobody is drinking on an empty stomach, and as always we strongly encourage everyone to arrange a ride home -- most of what we'll be drinking is cask strength after all!
Cheers,
Drammers Club
