At Eight Row Flint, we believe that giving people the opportunity to try new things back-to-back proves the easiest way to clarify those differences. In this flight we picked four spirits from some of our favorite producers to help navigate this potentially unfamiliar territory. >>> Make It Even Better: Add a Sangrita for $2.5 Tequila: From Tequila Ocho, in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. Made from 100% Blue Agave Weber, cooked with steam, fermented in open-air wooden tanks, and distilled twice on copper pot stills. Tequila Ocho sources agave from single estates all over Jalisco and prides itself on maintaining the nuance of terroir between each field. Mezcal: From Rey Campero, in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. Oaxaca is arguably one of Mexico’s most famous mezcal-producing regions. The agave variety used here is Tepextate, a wild agave grown in the Southern Highlands of Oaxaca that can take up to 25 years to mature—about three times as long as tequila agave. Cooked over wood in underground “hornos,” after which it is crushed and fermented with wild yeast, and distilled twice in copper pot stills. Sotol: From Flor del Desierto, in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. Sotol is an misunderstood plant that grows all over the Chihuahuan desert, as far north as West Texas. While it acts similarly to agave, sotol is not agave at all. It is more closely-related to the artichoke. This plant provides spirits with a massive range in variation and flavor profiles. Our favorite comes from Juarez, Mexico. Cooked and processed almost identically to Rey Campero’s Tepextate, it is a fine balance of light smoke and the vegetal qualities that make sotol so interesting. Raicilla: From La Venenosa, also in the state of Jalisco, but not technically in the Tequila-growing region. Raicilla is produced from agave cultivated by Maestro Tabarnero Don Rune Peña. Grown at 1,500 feet above sea level, the Agave Maximiliana plants are roasted after harvest in a wood-fired adobe oven, and fermented with wild yeast in 200L vats. It is then distilled in an Arabic-Filipino hybrid still, and uniquely, is bottled after only one distillation. Eight Row Flight ............................... $22 Barrell 14-year - Weller Full Proof - Old Forester Barrel Strength After tasting barrel after barrel of bourbon, eventually finding the best and most unique, we bought the whole barrel and brought it back to the Heights. Please enjoy these fine whiskeys hand selected by Morgan Weber. “It’s All About The Barrel” Flight ........ $20 Buffalo Trace - Eagle Rare - Weller Special Reserve Follow this whiskey on its path from white corn whiskey into 10 year old bourbon. All three of these whiskeys use the same traditional bourbon mash bill of mostly corn, finished with some rye and malted barley. Here, we see how the exact same mashbill (recipe) can taste so drastically different, based on where and how long it is aged. The Rye Flight .................................. $20 Rittenhouse Rye 100 - WhistlePig 10-year - Woodford Rye Rye whiskey was the prevalent whiskey of the northeastern states, especially Pennsylvania and Maryland, but largely disappeared after Prohibition. In the United States, “rye whiskey” is, by law, made from a mash of at least 51 percent rye. The Well-Seasoned Whiskey Flight ...... $22 Angel's Envy Port Cask - Belle Meade 9-year Sherry Cask WhistlePig 12-year Old World Finishing whiskey in barrels that originally housed another spirit is not a new concept. Scotch makers have been doing it successfully for years and American whiskey makers are following right behind. These three selections derive so much of their flavor from their respective barrel finishes. From a bourbon in Port casks, a bourbon in a Sherry cask, and finally a rye aged in Madeira, Sauternes, and Port barrels. Baller Flight .................................... $62 WhistlePig 15-year - Blood Oath Pact 3 Wild Turkey Diamond Anniversary Do you want to be a baller? A shot caller? Do you have 20 inch blades on your Impala? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, this might be the flight for you! Blind Flight ..................................... $21 Think you know your stuff? Put your palate to the test with our blind flight. If you guess all three pours correctly, you get $5 off your flight! (We change this bad boy once a week, so keep trying your luck.)
