Week 1

Event #1 - 09/16/2023

Rye Whiskey Batch #1

This week's event was centered around rye whiskey. Created in Pennsylvania, rye whiskey must be made from a mash bill of at least 51% rye grain. Rye Whiskey was used historically not only as a beverage and social lubricant, but also during colonial times as currency for barter and a way to preserve harvested grains. 


Even today, in these Whiskey Rebellion parts, Rye Whiskey is still as good as gold.

Calling for a nice crisp fall evening in the 50's. Weather permitting we may have cigars and a fire poolside. 

Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.
