Hello Indianapolis Drammers!
You're invited to join us for one of our biggest events of the year on Sunday, September 13th at 7pm. I have some fun ideas for additions to the lineup listed below, but I will add to it and potentially adjust that a bit based on what expressions we're able to get from distributors after Labor Day. Here are some lineup ideas that we poured last week in Las Vegas that were particularly well received and we'll likely include in the lineup, plus some more bourbon and Scotch TBA:
L’Encantada 22yo Armagnac. Single barrel, distilled from Baco at Domaine del Cassou, and aged 22 years in French oak barrels. This was bottled at cask strength and limited to only 460 bottles total. Distilled: 1999. Cask Strength, No Additives, NCF (MSRP: $176/bottle)
Strathmill 14yo - Impex Collection. This is one of those distilleries that proves the point of why you need independent bottlers. The distillery is owned by Diageo, but you hardly ever see official single malt bottlings from the distillery, as nearly everything they make goes into the blend Scotch J&B. Aged 14 years. This independent bottling is from our friends at Impex, one of the bigger importers of indie spirits in the US. Cask #802952, Hogshead, 57.5% abv. 1 of 284 bottles.
Tumblin’ Dice 13yo Rye. It was years before I realized that the numbers on the dice shown on the bottle told you how old it was. That begged the question what founder Dave Schmier would do if he released a whiskey older than 12 years (there are normally two dice on the label). For years, we’ve been joking with Dave that he would need to do a Dungeons ‘n’ Dragons style 20-sided die. Well, he’s finally done it. 13yo rye whiskey. Barrel proof 50.81% abv.
Uruapan Mexican Rum - Charanda Blanco - Cana Criolla Rum. An unaged rum made directly from the sugarcane (not molasses based like most rums available in the US). Uruapan Charanda Caña Criolla Blanco is a protected denomination Mexican single-estate agricole-style rum. Produced by the Pacheco family in Uruapan, Michoacán, it is distilled from 100% estate-grown Criolla sugarcane at 4,180 feet, bottled unaged at 49% ABV, and features vibrant notes of cut grass, green apple, and fresh earth.
Plus more to come! As usual, we'll order in light food (likely pizza) that is included in your ticket. We hope you can join us, please let us know if you have any questions!
Cheers,
Charlie, Sean and Drammers Club
