    Secret of Espy House Barrel Strength Bourbon

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 2, 2024 8:02


    We have seen a lot of private-label bourbon on the market but Espy House Bourbon is set to bring American History and bourbon history together. The brand refers to the Epsy House named after Colonel David Epsy, a very influential and political man and owner in Bedford, PA. I was considering a beautiful home that George Washington our first president used in 1794 during the Bourbon Rebellion. Today it is a historic Tasting room owned by TODD EICHELBERGER. The whiskey was sourced from Bardstown, an average of 7 years old with an MSRP of $120. #bourbon #whiskey #hoodsommelier #history #georgewashingtonquotes #pensylvania #espy #caskstrength #barrelproof For any of my merch Check out my website www.hoodsom.com Be sure to join my Patreon Community at www.patreon.com/hoodsom Looking for a new glass to try your whiskey?

    In this episode, Jack helps us with the taste notes of the Clermont Steep American Single Malt.  This is the first ever single malt out of the James B. Beam Distilling Co. Clermont Steep is a whiskey steeped in influence from both process and place. Just as single malt couldn't exist without steeping the grain, this whiskey couldn't exist without Clermont, Kentucky – the soul place of the James B. Beam Distilling Co. and the heartland of American Whiskey distilling culture. Noe and his team hand-selected the American malted barley for the mash and used Beam family jug yeast in the natural fermentation process. It's the same yeast that is used in all Beam products, adding a sense of familiarity to every sip. The single malt was then distilled on a column still and aged for five years in barrels that were toasted, then quickly charred to a char level 1 To learn more about  Clermont Steep and other expressions please visit https://www.clermontsteep.com/   Be sure to follow JACK on all social media as FB, IG, and TikTok as HOOD SOMMELIER    Be sure to follow CLERMONT STEEP on Instagram @clermontsteep For any of my merch Check out my website  www.hoodsom.com  Be sure to join my Patreon Community at www.patreon.com/hoosom  #whiskey #bourbon #jimbeam#kentucky #amaricansinglemalt --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hoodsom/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hoodsom/support
