Theodore Rex Whiskey Edition #5 the Celebration of the first 4

"In the heart of Missouri Ozark Highlands, the legacy of whiskey making is woven into the folds of the land.  Our purpose in creating whiskey is to honor or land and its legacy.  Grown with grain from our family farms and made with water from your limestone wells, we are proud that our whiskeys represent the rich heritage of the Ozark Highlands.  This bottle of Celebration unites the four Theodore Rex seasonal releases into one unique blend that celebrates the year gone by and reminds us to savor our history with each sip" - Demetrius Cain, Head Distiller

This one is not a single barrel, or is it?.  It is a blend of our 4 previous barrels blended into one barrel and then bottled.   Demetrius saved 25% of each of the previous and blended them together for one amazing Celebration Whiskey.  

If my math is right, this should be the rough mashbill.  Took the 4 Mashbills of the previous barrels and added them up and divided by 4.

Mashbill

• 38.25% Corn
• 30.5% Rye
• 28% Wheat
• 3.25% Barley

Side Project Merci 2024 Edition

We picked a few barrels at Side Project.  The first release is scheduled for January.  Barrel Aged Imperial Stout  in a Willett 5yr Bourbon Barrel collab with Toppling Goliath.  We will announce release details in January

Side Project Merci 2024 Edition....$14.99 / 375ml

Merci was blended for our friend Paul Hayden at The Wine and Cheese Place in St. Louis. We would like to say “Merci” for all his support of Side Project Brewing by releasing Merci Vintage 2024, a blended Missouri Wild Ale.
For this latest Vintage, we focused on one of our favorite iterations of this beer, Blend #2, by incorporating a rich, funky Lambic-like palate, with our classical Side Project depth, and softness. As we do not blend to volume, only to taste, this batch is much smaller than previous releases and is packaged in 375 mL bottles to make sure we have enough to share. We also bottled this release of Merci in early January and have conditioned it exclusively with Brettanomyces Brux., a process we do not often use, for years of purposeful maturation and development in the bottle. We want this beer to express Side Project and our blending characteristics for years to come as you enjoy it now or later while saying “Merci” to those you are thankful for.

For this release of Heigold Single Barrel, there will be a very limited number of barrels of this exceptional High Rye Double Malt Kentucky Straight Bourbon. To accompany this unique offering, our Founder has commissioned a series of six pieces of original art to complete this beautiful package. Each limited numbered edition has an illustration that offers a new interpretation of the timeless characters from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The result is a true work of art inside and out that could only be bottled at cask strength. 


ABOUT THE ARTIST

2023 release of Heigold Single Barrel features the work of Quincy Sutton, a Los Angeles-based illustrator who was selected to create six original pieces to adorn our bottles. He likens his art to jazz music. Using shapes and colors, but no lines, his illustrations might at seem sporadic and chaotic.

This wine is deep, concentrated with aromas of black plum, cherry, raspberry and dried potpourri on the nose. The flavors on the palate are dried Bing cherry, raspberry confiture, orange zest and dried rosemary intertwined with star anise and mineral, with a dry, supple finish.

Rated 90/100 James Suckling
Clean, deep with excellent acidity, good attack in the mouth, sweet tannins and great persistence. It is a typical Tupungato Malbec, with the presence of violets and red fruits on the nose, and a typical strawberry component on the palate

In view it has a reddish hue, of great intensity. On the nose aromas of fresh red fruits, green pepper and spices are perceived. In the mouth it has a very pleasant entry, a sensation of sweetness due to its silky and ripe tannins. A wine to enjoy until the end.

Grapes are harvested when it’s cooler, in fully ripe. Wine making : After destemming, berries are macerated during a few hours, and then are slowly pressed. Then, the derived pressed must is put into thermoregulated stainless steel vats, and fermentation will go on for 10 days or so. Once fermentation is over, wine is matured on lees before bottling.
This rosé wine shows a redcurrant colored robe with light reflections. It has very deep fruit aromas including cherry, raspberry and black berry. Well-structured on the palate, this wine is both nicely full-bodied and delightfully fruity. Wine and food pairing : bbq chicken skewers, paella, pizza and much more.

Michter's Small Batch US*1 Bourbon

Michter's Small Batch US*1 Bourbon.....$42.99
Compare to $43.99 at Total Wine and More (price checked 12/19/24)

Michter’s US1 Bourbon is made from a carefully selected mashbill that features the highest quality American corn. It is then matured to the peak of perfection, with barrels often aging in excess of eight years. Truly “small batch,” each batch of our US1 Bourbon is typically composed of no more than two dozen barrels, leaving no margin for “blending out” imperfection and thus necessitating excellence from every barrel. Reflecting the spirit of the Bluegrass State, Michter’s US1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is nuanced, mellow, and earthy.
