Doghouse Distillery 'Debt Collector' Moonshine Cask Aged 1 Year
The Doghouse Distillery 'Debt Collector' Moonshine Cask Aged 1 Year (50% ABV) is an American-style ‘young’ whisky, aged for a year in charred virgin American oak. It is made from a mash of majority corn plus barley and rye and fermented using a Kentucky Bourbon yeast, copper pot distilled twice and then matured in charred, virgin American oak before diluting to 50% ABV for bottling. Emulating the same raw materials, processes and equipment utilised to make an American style whisky or "Bourbon". While the brand is modelled on a Bourbon, as it is made outside of the USA it therefore is not strictly a Bourbon, instead, this initial expression is called a “Moonshine” taking inspiration from the origins and evolution of the category. Also, in the UK, a spirit cannot be called a whisky unless it has been in an oak barrel for at least 3 years. This cask aged moonshine or "baby bourbon" offers flavours of caramel sweetness married with vanilla from the oak followed by a hint of toast and spice. It is very smooth and it packs a surprising amount of flavour for such a short maturation. The 50% ABV offers a real kick that makes it a perfect base for classic cocktails. This cask aged moonshine works as a smooth sipper neat or Old Fashioned.
