BackSTORY

Returning Bourbon to its Roots

Of the People – By the People – For the People

The 1800s where the golden age of custom bourbon and custom cocktails. It was the time when instead of buying “brands” consumers would take their jug to one of dozens of local “barrel blenders” who would mix from the various barrels of whiskey they had to the consumers taste preference.

In 1862, Professor Jerry Thomas published the first book on individual cocktails. In his advice to bartenders he encouraged them to customize the cocktails to customers preferences.

WoodCraft operational systems, business models and technologies bring the excitement of 1800s custom bourbon to today. It makes it cost effective to sell consumers their personal bourbon – blended to their specifications and with their name on it.

~ Tasting Tips ~

For aftertaste, a short aftertaste is something that doesn't linger in your mouth very long. You taste it, you get a feel for it, and then it fades quickly. A long aftertaste is when we have the whiskey coating the palate and hanging out a little longer, allowing you to taste more flavors. The flavors that are probably going to include oak, woodiness, char, dark spices, and vanilla.

YES

NO

NO OPINION

~ Tasting Tips ~

An oaky flavor is obviously going to be a bit woody, though not necessarily good or bad depending on your preference. As with certain wines, oak will help impart certain tannic qualities such as mouthfeel, slight dryness, and a little bit of bitterness.

YES

NO

NO OPINION

~ Tasting Tips ~

Vanilla gives hints of the vanilla flavor and perception of smoothness.

Dark spice is about warming flavors, like a great spiced apple cider, cardamon, pumpkin spice, nutmeg and other soft fall spices.
