The Backwoods Root Beer Story

The Backwoods Root Beer came along when my dad was in his teenage years. He and his friends would get some bottled root beer, grab some Nellie Collins corn whiskey, and then head out to the back woods to seek life’s adventures. At some point they would settle in and mix the bottled root beer and whiskey. According to our dad, these young men solved the world’s problems while on those life adventures...

THE BACKBONE OF THE SERIES

The backbone of the 14th annual Octomore series, the character of the 14.1 offers a necessary comparison from which the other expressions alternate and evolve. The base for this latest series showcases the delicate and intricate balance between smoke, malt, cask and maturation – resulting in an all-encompassing drinking experience. Matured for five years in first-fill ex-American whiskey casks, the 14.1 shows the power and potential of its essential raw ingredients. Sweet caramel and vanilla open on the nose, with bright citrus cutting through Octomore’s signature smoke - elevated with roasted coffee and subtle spice.

Distilled from 100% Scottish mainland barley and peated to 128.9 PPM, Octomore 14.1 is as youthful and dynamic as its predecessors.

TASTING NOTES

COLOUR: Light Amber

NOSE: Smoked vanilla, sweet caramel, and toffee notes open on the nose, with sooty smoke balanced with delicate coconut and flaked almonds. There is an unmistakable earthy smokiness and a hint of citrus, with lemon meringue pie cutting through rich barbeque pork.

PALATE: Bright citrus, smoke and a distinct minerality come through on the palate, followed by charred oak and beach bonfire embers. Toffee and creamy vanilla are balanced with the earthy smoke, with bright notes of pear, gooseberry fool and green apple simultaneously adding brightness and depth. Roasted coffee, hints of clove and nutmeg begin to come to the fore, with a gentle hint of heather honey.

FINISH: Butterscotch and vanilla are balanced with Octomore’s signature earthy peat smoke and a hint of salt spray, with burnt heather and gorse flowers settling on the finish.

Octomore 14.2 uses the same barley varietal and is malted to the same PPM as the 14.1, but the liquids diverge profoundly with the influence of wine and sherry casks on the 14.2 spirit.

TASTING NOTES

COLOUR: Deep Amber

NOSE: Leather, prunes, red currants and malted barley come to the fore, followed by toasted oak and hints of cinnamon, green apple and black pepper. Waves of smoke and distinct red fruits follow, complemented with cereal notes of malt and porridge. The peat smoke is dry and brooding, with a hint of burnt heather and subtle pipe tobacco from the oak.

PALATE: The influence of the European oak is unmissable, with a touch of dryness balanced with the vibrancy of wood spices, smoked oak and roasted coffee. Barbeque sweetness and a crack of black pepper is complemented with rich fruit cake and dried fruits. A drop of water opens the smoke and fruity sweetness from the wine casks, bringing a beautiful balance as notes of apple and pear grow with the dram.

FINISH: Smoked malt, smouldering oak and sea salt settle on the finish.

Don Vicente Extra Añejo is aged for at least 3 years in used American White Oak Bourbon barrels. It packs an explosion of aromas & flavors. The cooked Blue Weber Agave is still present at the center of this Extra Añejo, with hints of oak, fruit, caramel, and butterscotch around it. The oxygenation keeps all the flavors very well balanced, preventing any flavor from overtaking the other.

Award winning

La Bay Distillerie Californienne is an award winning Los Angeles boutique distillery founded by Lebanese architect and master distiller Shadi Mounir Saroufim in 2022.

In the world of fine spirits, few names evoke as much reverence and excitement as Blackened X and Rabbit Hole Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey. These two renowned distilleries have come together to create a truly exceptional whiskey that captivates the senses and exemplifies the artistry of American distillation.

Blackened X, often celebrated for its distinctive aging process and innovative approach to whiskey-making, has garnered a devoted following since its inception. Utilizing the unique "sonic aging" technique, the whiskey is exposed to low-frequency sound waves during the maturation process, enhancing the interaction between the spirit and the wood of the barrels. This method creates a flavor profile that's rich, complex, and utterly unique.

On the other hand, Rabbit Hole Distillery, located in the heart of bourbon country in Louisville, Kentucky, has gained a reputation for its commitment to crafting premium spirits. Their rye whiskey, in particular, has earned accolades for its meticulous production and dedication to preserving traditional techniques while pushing the boundaries of flavor.

When Blackened X and Rabbit Hole joined forces to create a Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, it was a marriage of expertise and innovation. The result is a spirit that embodies the best of both worlds—a harmonious fusion of flavors and craftsmanship that sets a new standard for American rye whiskey.

What sets Blackened X Rabbit Hole Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey apart is its remarkable complexity. Upon the first sip, you'll be greeted by a symphony of flavors that dance across your palate. The spicy notes of rye mingle with the sweetness of caramel and vanilla, creating a balanced and inviting experience. The "sonic aging" technique used by Blackened X infuses the whiskey with subtle undertones of dried fruits and oak, offering a depth of character that is unparalleled.

The nose of this exceptional spirit is equally captivating. It's a sensory journey that begins with a gentle waft of warm spice and toasted oak, followed by hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and dried apricots. As you explore its aromatic depths, you'll discover a delightful interplay of sweet and savory elements, inviting you to dive deeper into the glass.

The finish of Blackened X Rabbit Hole Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is a crescendo of flavor that lingers on the palate, leaving you with a satisfying warmth and a desire for another sip. It's a testament to the skillful blending and aging process that both distilleries have perfected over the years.
