The last 12 months have been impossible, I got nothing.

great thread!

this got me thinking. I went to the closet to pull out one of my first jars I added oak to (as well as one of my first runs). at the time it was completely full of heads. I saved in on the advise that I could go back and compare my first runs to what I am making now( much much better)

so I went and gave it a taste. OMG not bad . its been somewhere between 12-15 months old. at this point I have no plan on drinking it. but now that its my oldest jar I kinda like having it sitting in the closet. so I will hold on to it. in 5 years who knows.

I got about a gallon of rum sitting on oak. I brought it to another house out of state so that helps with keeping my hands off of it.

its probably time to start another wash

I have 1/2 gallon of a corn barley wheat and rye AG that sat on toasted and charred oak for 3 months then put in a 1/2 gallon mason jar with an oak lid . It is 16 months old and is going to be opened and drank when my cousin gets out of prison.

hopefully won't be too much older by then.

I still have some mushroom brandy from around 3 years ago. It´s there because it is crap. All the other stuff seems to disapear quicker than I can make it ...

I have a few bottles of SF whiskey in the attic that are from my first batch some 2 years old now.

With all the talk expounding the benefits of age, I'm amazed so few have anything with any age on it. My oldest of any significance is one liter of 100% barley malt, distilled and cut 18 months ago.

Its damn hard to make qtys enough to stash away that long, if you like to drink it fairly regularly. I brewed like a madman all winter, gallons, and.... well..... never mind....hic

I forgot to mention my 2012 run of Wheat Single Malt below. I do have 5 quarts left at 62%. That is a damn fine drink that comes out on special occasion now.

My best...I have some rice vodka in glass, that is approaching 2 years old. A gallon of rum in a barrel with a tablespoon of homemade sherry that is almost 14 months old. I taste both every now and then.

All grain oat whiskey, oaked about six months old.

Most of vodka, oaked rum and faux bourbon is gone within six months. Stuff evaporates...

You're telling me? Son of a bitch. Good thing there's still some off the shelf licker I like to keep me going while I wait for my efforts to acquire the wonders of age. Doesn't hurt to be drawn into the gin/genever playground while i wait. Keeps me busy even though I'm tapping my stock.

Just busted open my sweet feed from 8/9! I'm trying real hard to stay away from the hundred proof. Guess I know what I'm doing Saturday ! Even my wife who doesn't drink tried my sweet feed today and she just said smooth!
