Want to learn how manatawnysw is changing the game with their barrel-finished whiskey that tastes like a Manhattan? Tap the link.
due to their unique mash bills. Case in point is this new release, a four-grain whiskey finished in cherry brandy and vermouth barrels. The mash bill is as follows: 80 percent malted barley , 9 percent wheat, 9 percent oat and 2 percent rye. Given the fact that it’s initially aged in #3 char new oak barrels, this would technically make it a malt whiskey that is finished in other types of casks, but the distillery just goes with “four grain American whiskey.
While TTB definitions are meant to protect the consumer, they have also inhibited whiskey diversification, as we saw with beer during its craft movement,” said Pfeffer when I asked about this in an email. “If you taste and drink our Four Grain Whiskey, you would not associate it with the common idea of what malt whiskey is… Whiskey is more than just bourbon, rye or country-specific whiskies. Our purpose in making this whiskey is to expand the idea of what whiskey can be.
In that, he has succeeded. After two years of initial maturation, two single barrels were put into an ex-vermouth and ex-cherry brandy cask for another year before being blended back together. Pfeffer said they used all of the vermouth barrel, but only 20 percent of the brandy barrel because of how intense the flavor became—not unlike the proportions in a Manhattan when you think about it.
The high percentage of malted barley in the mash bill delivers some of the chocolate and maltiness you’d expect, with the roasted portion playing an important part . But the other grains really balance out the palate with some sweet grain and spice. But it’s the barrel finish that is obviously the key to this cocktail in whiskey form, with a pronounced influence that is somehow not overbearing. Unfortunately, this bottle is only available to order in Pennsylvania, at least until the Keystone State updates its antiquated liquor laws. But if you reside there, or know someone who does, definitely check it out.
