This week on The Whiskey Trip podcast, Big Chief takes listeners on a ride to Lexington, KY and chats with Macaulay Minton, President and Chief Alchemist for Dark Arts Whiskey House.
Macaulay takes the Big Man on a ride learning about the 7 stages of Whiskey Alchemy and how they sensed a void in the whiskey industry. Their team would unleash something truly magical.
Dark Arts Whiskey House journey began with a revelation: the art of whiskey making is not just science, but an alchemical fusion of flavors and possibilities. Big Chief has become a believer is this philosophy.
On the first half they start the show with a straight bourbon whiskey which is a 7 year old, 112.2 proof. A true high rye mash bill of 51% corn, 39% rye and 10% malted rye.
This is truly a whiskey trip trapped in a bottle.
To take the listeners into the break Big Chief pours a dram of their straight bourbon whiskey finished with Toasted Julilles Fluer French Oak Staves. At 7 years old and 108 proof with a mash bill of 60% corn, 36% rye and 4% malted barely it took the Big Man to memories of his grandmother’s sweets with toasted fluff.
To close out the show, Mac and Big Chief sip on a straight rye whiskey finished with toasted amburana oak staves. Cask Strength Rye. With a 95/5 mash bill this 7 year old whiskey is Cinnamon Toast Crunch with toasted coconut in a beautiful bottle.
This ride on The Whiskey Trip showcases the art of alchemy. Never underestimate the rise of those around you.
Cheers!
