[Whiskey Tribe] The first in-house whiskey we ever distilled and aged is only 1 month away

I’ll just get out the way and say it.

The first in-house whiskey we ever distilled and aged is only 1 month away from getting bottled. Hell. Freaking. Yah.

Many MB’s are already familiar with the details of Crowded Barrel’s first ever project - the Single Malt of Magnificence (single M.o.M.).

They voted on:
Single Malt
Maris Otter Barley
Half peated (Irish)
Barrel entry proof 110
Cask strength release

The 5 gallon barrels range from 8.5 months to 12.5 months old. Aged in Texas, of course.

Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, this first release is exciting - but it’s still very small. For now, Single MoM will only be available for Patreon supporting MB’s - with small tasting samples available in Crowded Barrel’s tasting room.

The upside is that for a first experimental run with a relatively young whiskey - it’s exceptionally good, and we’re almost ready to scale up production.
