JULY FEATURED POURS

MEMBER POUR: ELIJAH CRAIG TOASTED RYE

There are two main methods of treating whiskey casks with heat. The first, charring, is required by law for bourbon and rye, and involves literally burning out the inside of the barrel with flames, creating a layer of purifying charcoal inside the barrel as well as caramelizing wood sugars. Another optional step is toasting the barrel. This typically happens before charring and involves heating the cask to awaken and extract natural flavors from the wood, particularly vanilla. This month’s member pour, Elijah Craig Toasted rye, is fully aged first in a charred cask and then is transferred to a specially toasted barrel for further aging. The secondary maturation infuses the spicy rye with abundant richness and vanilla notes, leading to a really complex whiskey.

BREAK EVEN BOTTLE: ANGEL'S ENVY CASK STRENGTH

Angel’s Envy made a name for itself well over a decade ago by releasing port finished bourbon long before the trend of finishing bourbons became commonplace. And while the general release is great, the real star of the show is the cask strength option. These limited annual releases represent a blend of some of the best barrels in their warehouses, bottled with no additional water. The port finished punches through, adding a fruity sweet note to the high proof bourbon.

JUNE FEATURED BOTTLES

MEMBER POUR: LOCH LOMOND 12

Loch Lomond is a fascinating distillery that focuses on varying the elements of production more than the casks the whisky matures in. Utilizing malt at different levels of peat, three different yeast strains, and a bevy of still types, Loch Lomond nearly always ages in ex-bourbon casks so that after years of resting they can showcase the complexity and depth achieved by blending so many styles of whisky making together. The 12 year is delicate without losing depth, fruity, and finishes just slightly peated. It’s a wonderful introduction to a still underrated distillery that we are happy to offer to our members this month.

BREAK EVEN BOTTLE: EL TESORO MUNDIAL

One way to pique our interest even further in one of our favorite tequilas is to mature it in barrels from one of our favorite whiskies, and that’s exactly what happened with this month’s break even pour. El Tesoro Mundial Collection takes their tahona crushed tequila and rests it for a year in wine and sherry barrels that had previously been used to age Yamazaki 12. The end result is a tequila with subtle hints of fruit and spice.

MAY FEATURED POURS

MEMBER POUR: TRES GENERACIONES LA COLONIAL REPOSADO

This limited tequila released by Tres Generaciones is part of a series honoring different generations of the Sauza family (Sauza is the owner of Tres Generaciones). Though there is a family story motivating this release, the story we find much more compelling is that this tequila wasn’t made at the La Perseverancia distillery where Sauza products are typically produced. This is because this tequila is partially made with a tahona, a giant rock wheel used to crush roasted agave, and Sauza doesn’t have one. But luckily for them, the nice folks at Cascahuin do, and the not-so-secret secret behind this bottle is that it was actually made at Cascahuin. Cascahuin happens to be one of the most highly regarded tequila distilleries, and a staff favorite at the Library.

BREAK EVEN: THE MACALLAN 007 DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER 55TH ANNIVERSARY RELEASE

The new Macallan release celebrates the connection between the brand and James Bond, and while the information about the juice in the bottle is sparse, we know it’s at least 18 years old and bottled at 45.5% abv. Every special edition Macallan we’ve tried lately has been fantastic and we have no doubt this will follow that trend. An extremely limited release… less than ten bottles total came to the state of Oregon.
