Jul. 11 - Drammers Denver...
Hello Denver Drammers!
We hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! We're on for another Drammers tasting at Whiskey Bar on Tues. the 11th at 7pm. More info on what we'll be drinking below, and we're adding a VERY unusual distillate we just learned about that is made in Northern NJ -- a hopped spirit distilled from agave syrup! Needs to be tasted to be believed. In any case, we'll order in light food (likely pizza), which is included. We hope you can join us!
Some of the Bottles We’ll Be Drinking at the Event:
Loch Lomond's Glengarry 12yo. This Drammers single barrel pick just arrived, a 12yo single malt Scotch from the Highlands distillery Loch Lomond. Distilled in 2010, bottled in 2023, unpeated, matured in a 1st fill Bordeaux red wine barrel -- the barrel yielded 281 bottles. 55.0% abv. Of course non-chill filtered and no color added. Cask #21/546-6. Exclusively available to Drammers members.
Rezpiral - Simeon Ramirez Mezcal Ensamble of Mexicano Agaves. We had the pleasure of selecting a batch a few years ago that Simeon did with his father Apolonio, that time from a tobasiche agave, which was dominated by vegetal and mineral notes. That pick was a big hit, so we selected a new batch that just arrived -- a mix of 4 varietals of the Mexicano agave, it has a dominant lemon-lime custardy-sorbet flavor, backfilled with vanilla. Yum. Details here, and available exclusively to members of Drammers for $120/bottle, 50.8% abv.
5 Sentidos - Tobala by Tio Pedro. The Maestro Mezcalero behind this mezcal, Tio Pedro, has worked for many top mezcal producers over the years and recently set out on his own, where among other things he produced this small 92 liter batch. This is only just arrived and features wild tobalas he collected and distilled in Oaxaca in June of 2022. He then rested is in glass until December 2022 adjusting with heads and tails to reach the desired flavor and bottled at 47% abv. This batch was selected by our members on our annual trip to Oaxaca for Day of the Dead last year and is available exclusively to members of the club.
That's our lineup! We hope you can join us! As usual, we’ll have light food on hand (likely pizza), which is included. The price is $40/person for Members and $50/person for Drammers Observers and non-members. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Charlie, Zareen, Clarke and Drammers Club
