Barrel to Bottle, The Binny's Podcast

The Whiskey Hotline is constantly bringing in new and interesting single barrels from your favorite distilleries. Some even Whiskey Hotline Handpicks are the best value in spirits. This week we're sampling Tequila, Irish Whiskey and Bourbon. Also this week, a question from a listener about adding water to your bourbon or whiskey.

Even the Barrel to Bottle crew can walk the aisles of Binny's, with our thousands of bottles and cans, and wonder "What the Hell Does That Taste Like?" Occasionally it behooves us then, to do an episode dedicated to answering this question. Roger, Chris and Pat have assembled a line-up of beer, wine and spirits that are a little esoteric, a little off the beaten path or just plain odd. Plus, a special treat: the first-ever Binny's Barrel to Bottle Handpicked.

We like to get esoteric on Barrel to Bottle, but this might be our most esoteric topic yet: Shochu (not to be confused with Soju). What is it, how is it made, what does it taste like and what do you do with it? This week we welcome Jay, Binny's resident Shochu expert/enthusiast, to answer these questions. He's here to guide us through Shochu 101, sampling Shochus from four different styles.

What's new in beer? There's ALWAYS something new in beer, because beer drinkers have become accustomed to breweries releasing a new beer every week. One positive that comes from this onslaught of new beers is breweries revisiting classic styles. Roger brought in a slew of new releases, re-releases and one rebrand, plus none of them are Czech Dark Lagers!

It's yet another Whiskey Hotline episode, this must be some kind of record. Owen Martin is master distiller at Angel's Envy, but his career in the beverage alcohol industry goes back years and covers both brewing and distilling. Studying distilling at the illustrious Harriet Watt and working in Stranahan's cask-finishing program was a natural precursor to working at Angel's Envy. Angel's Envy just released their cask-strength rye to go along with the cask-strength bourbon. We also have five new Binny's Handpicked single barrels in stores now.

Mark Reynier has a lot to say about terroir, but this isn't a wine episode. While Mark does have an extensive wine background, his passion now is spirits terroir. After re-establishing Bruichladdich, he founded Waterford Whisky in Ireland and the Renegade Rum Distillery in Grenada. This week on Barrel to Bottle, we're sampling Waterford single malts and Renegade rum, while Mark shares his thoughts on barley and sugar cane terroir.

Czech Dark Lager is a thing, Roger isn't just willing it into existence. Over the past year many local breweries have paid homage to the style. This week, Roger brought in a Brophy's worth of Czech Dark Lagers, both local and imported, for a blind taste test. We're also pairing these beers with walnuts, Arkansas Black apples, smoked goose breast and two kinds of cheese. Na zdraví!

John Campbell might be a familiar name to Scotch drinkers because of his 27 years at Laphroaig. Now he's the master distiller of Lochlea, which is part of a wave of new single malt Scotch distilleries that have opened in the last few years. Lochlea grows 100% of the malt for their distillate, making them a true farm distillery. As a lowland distillery, Lochlea doesn't make peated whisky. It wouldn't be true to their environment as it is mostly farm land and rolling hills.

Barleywine! All the cool kids are drinking it. It's a perfect food beer, especially with the holiday season approaching. Our third Barleywine episode is finally being recorded during appropriate weather, and Roger couldn't help but bring a delicious spread of cheeses, dried fruits, and crackers. Barleywine used to be all the rage with beer nerds, but sadly it has fallen by the wayside. But the style is so much more than an old man beer that Pat buries in his backyard.

As sprawling as the Binny's Handpicked Single Barrel program has become, it all started with a single cask of Scotch in 1997. The Whiskey Hotline's 2023 Signatory Handpicked Single Barrels have hit stores and this week we're sampling all eight offerings. Signatory labels are very information-heavy but leave a lot to be desired stylistically. The liquid inside is far from boring though because with Signatory picks, the Whiskey Hotline strives to find distilleries that are not usually available in the US.

It's that time of year again, when we at Barrel to Bottle have the opportunity to visit the Goose Island Barrel Warehouse and sample the new line-up of Bourbon County Stout. Then we race back to the studio to record our thoughts on this year's beers. Before we get into it though, we grabbed some of Goose's new Christmas IPA because Roger knows it's right up Greg's alley.

Byron Copeland has worn a lot of hats at the Jack Daniel's Distillery. He started in their cooperage, where he led teams in various points of the barrel making process from making heads, to hoops, to toasting, charring, and seasoning of barrels.

All the way from Scotland, Stewart Buchanan is the Global Brand Ambassador for Glenglassaugh, BenRiach, and Glendronach. Stewart is one of the few global brand ambassador's Pat knows that worked in a distillery. Stewart brought three bottles of the latest offerings from Glenglassaugh. The distillery had previously been mothballed from 1986 to 2008 but since its reopening it has been subsequently sold to Brown-Forman. Since then, they've reopened and begun distilling again, as well as reviving their floor malting program.

Chris brought too much sherry, too much food and made too many cocktails and we didn't want you to miss out so here's a bonus episode from our recent deep dive into sherry. You can see all the cocktail recipes on our blog.

Sherry, what is it? What do you do with it? What does it go with? The answers to these questions are much simpler than you might think. Sherry isn't just for Brits. It's actually very popular with tapas, so next time you're digging into some small plates, skip the sangria and go for some PX, Manzanilla, or Cream. Like a bunch of sardines in a can, Chris has packed a lot into this week's episode. We're trying sherry, we're pairing them with a delicious array of meats, cheeses, nuts, fruits, and canned fish, then we're mixing up an array of sherry cocktails. You can find all the cocktail recipes from this episode on our blog.

If it feels like we've done multiple episodes about amaro, it's because we have a loud guy on the show who always has some amaro on him. It's actually been almost four years since we had an entire episode dedicated to Pat's favorite bitter Italian liqueur. Last time we had twelve amari, and that was only scratching the surface. Roger is back, to have his taste buds tortured by these Italian bitter digestives.

Chartreuse has been around for centuries and always popular with mixologists. It took a global pandemic to make the French herbal liqueur a household name though. Carthusian monks have been making it by hand since the 1700s and were always able to keep up with demand. In the last few years, they have decreased production to focus more on being monks instead of liquor executives. Now you can pretty much only get it in the US if you own a bar. Roger has poured samples of Chartreuse and six alternatives. Additionally, he made seven Last Word cocktails with each of the seven samples. We're blind tasting these seven samples, hoping to find an alternative to Chartreuse that is just as good and readily available in our stores. After we try all of that, Roger will whip up two more Chartreuse cocktails. Check out all three cocktail recipes on our blog.

Brent Elliott has been master distiller since the legendary Jim Rutledge stepped down in 2015. Brent was hired as a chemist 20 years ago, when Four Roses was only available overseas and in Kentucky. Because it was a skeleton crew, they needed help everywhere, so he was able to learn about multiple facets of production.

What's new in beer? New bottles and cans are constantly showing up on our shelves, so it can be difficult to keep track of everything. Fatigue is certainly setting in because of the pervasiveness of certain styles. Luckily some brewers are stepping up to resurrect forgotten styles and put new spins on existing ones. Roger is here with a slew of new (and two old) brews to try from some of our favorite breweries.

It's another Whiskey Hotline episode! Bruce Joseph is the master distiller at Hotaling & Company, formerly Anchor Brewing & Distilling. Hotaling is best known for their Old Potrero ryes. Bruce started working at Anchor Brewing straight out of college in 1980. He was a brewer for 13 years until they got licensed to distill and he switched over. Fritz Maytag was interested in making rye whiskey, particularly its historical ties to Colonial America. Also he liked taking on products that were unpopular and at the time, rye wasn't very popular.

This time, we're trying four classic coffee beers that have stood the test of time.

Saké, don't sleep on it. That's the theme of our first ever saké episode. To help us dive into the world of rice wines, we're welcoming wine consultant Neeve from our Lincoln Park store. Greg sat next to the saké buyer for four years, tried a bunch of saké, and never retained anything so she has her work cut out for her. Saké is made from rice, water, yeast and koji which is a type of mold. Koji was naturally occurring on rice, but these days there are special starters. For yeast, they have many common strains that give the saké different aromas and flavors. We'll be tasting saké by how polished the rice grains are for each batch.

Here, at a marathon pace, we sample hundreds of wines still in barrels to make the difficult decision of what to offer our customers as Bordeaux Futures This week on Barrel to Bottle, we're welcoming Bordeaux buying legend Barbara Hermann, along with wine buyer Bill Newton, Wine Educator Alicia Barrett, and Lincoln Park wine consultant Ben Madeska. Fresh off their trip to France, they'll tell you everything you need to know about the 2022 Bordeaux vintage, and about Binny's robust futures program. While the 2022 wines aren't available yet, there are still some great, affordable wines that are relevant to this year's vintage: Le C des Carmes Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Rouge 2019 Haut Bailly II Pessac Leognan 2020 La Dame de Montrose Saint Estephe 2019 Chateau Berliquet Saint Emilion 2018 If you have a question for the Barrel to Bottle Crew, email us at [email protected], or reach out to us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

Barrel-aged beer, lots of cheese, warm weather; that seems like a perfect combo. This week on Barrel to Bottle, we're revisiting the 2022 Bourbon County Stout line-up with some fun easter eggs and easy food pairings. We sent Roger on a treasure hunt to track down the single-distillery variants of Bourbon County Brand Stout that saw limited release in 12-ounce four packs. Beer aged in barrels from those distilleries-Heaven Hill, Wild Turkey and Willett-was blended and bottled for the majority of 12-ounce four packs. Additionally, this is a different blend then what was in the 16.9-ounce bottles. Confused? Don't worry, we're going to walk you through it. When you're pairing food with any alcohol you can go one of two ways; complimentary or contrasting. Roger brought some examples of each, with bleu cheese, chèvre, fig butter, dried apricots, and Fig Newton-like fig cookies. All these pair with today's beers in different way. While some of these bottles might take a little work to track down, Sir Issac's is still out there and tasting great. Don't like the concept fool you into thinking it's just another pastry boy. It's stands well enough on its own, but Roger has brought a few food pairings to take it to another level.

This isn't the first time we've discussed the importance of glassware. But today we're doing a deeper, more scientific dive specifically on beer glasses. We at Barrel to Bottle firmly believe you should always drink your beer out of a glass. But will one of those straight-sided pint glasses suffice, or is it worth spending some money on a beer glass that had fluid dynamics test performed on it? We're here to definitively answer that question today. Roger brought in three beer glasses that we will be comparing to the straight sided shaker pint control glass: Sam Adams Perfect Pint Glass Duvel Chalice Dogfish Head IPA Glass We'll be sampling these three beers in each of the four glasses: Sam Adams Golden Pilsner Duvel Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA After our scientific sampling, we'll also try some of the new innovations from Sam Adams, Duvel and Dogfish Head, each in their brewery's respective glass: Sam Adams Boston Lager (Remastered) Duvel 6.66 Dogfish Head Citrus Squall If you have a question for the Barrel to Bottle Crew, email us at [email protected], or reach out to us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
