Both new expressions will be bottled in 700mL bottles, which deviates from the U.S. standard of 750mL bottles and instead aligns to the more international standard of 70cl bottles. We live in an age of collectors and flippers. I also see a growing number of people living in the overlap of the two in the Venn diagram. They collect to flip and flip to collect. You see, I have also fallen victim to the pitfalls of collecting. I buy a lot of the same things I have always liked. According to Fletcher, the distillery plans to introduce an American Single Malt expression in the future.

On the nose: Warm vanilla and orange peel walk hand in hand in such synchronization that you cannot tell one from the other or what the two of them are creating together. Exploring the Agave Fields of Oaxaca: While my career commenced with a focus on Scotch and Bourbon, life’s adventures have led me to the picturesque agave fields of Oaxaca, Mexico.Despite being bottled at the same proof, the Triple Mash stands out with its enhanced body and bolder taste, all without sacrificing smoothness or becoming harsh. One important aspect about this whiskey and its Triple Mash counterpart, is the change to 700mL bottle size as opposed to the typical 750mL we are accustomed to in the United States. In late 2020, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) amended regulations that govern wine and spirits bottle sizes, adding four new allowable standards of fill for distilled spirits: 700mL, 720mL, 900mL, and 1.8L. According to the TTB, “These new container sizes will provide bottlers with flexibility by allowing the use of the added container sizes, and will facilitate the movement of goods in domestic and international commerce, while also providing consumers broader purchasing options.” Notably, 700mL is a more common bottle size globally, so the 750mL we're accustomed to here in the United States is the oddity, not the other way around.

Both whiskeys are bottled in bond but the Triple Mash is a unique blend of three whiskeys crafted at the Lynchburg Distillery. In this personal blog, I share my knowledge and insights on Whisky, Whiskey & Bourbon and other spirits, drawing from my 30 years of extensive experience. My first step was to seek out the original press release where I first saw the announcement of these expressions. In the very beginning of the press release I found a lot of what I wanted to know:Here, I’ve immersed myself in the art of crafting Mezcal, gaining a newfound appreciation for the craftsmanship that goes into distilling this ancient spirit. The palate offers a medium body, a satisfying mouthfeel, and a flavor profile highlighting banana nut bread, apple, apricot, and gentle rye spice. So, for this review I decided to be a blissfully unaware whiskey consumer. I see a big brand that I like. They release a new product that seems fun. I have no idea if this will be the first of many regular releases or a limited release. I just wanted to buy this, open it, share it, review it and be on my way. Let’s just drink it. However, I eventually learned that you should always read before you write. On the nose: Rain-soaked oak that is begging for a breather. The rain has been non-stop. The bark has been darkened and as you pass by the tree it begs for fresh air. If you are a fan of Petrichor you will spend quite a bit of time with this one. These experiences have honed my palate and provided me with a profound understanding of the vast world of spirits.
