Tom's Foolery 7 Year Old "K&L Exclusive" Cask Strength Single Barrel #157 Ohio Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The Tom's Foolery Distillery outside of Cleveland is easily one of the most exciting craft distillers in the States. Tom Herbruck is a true distiller, who fell in love with the craft as a kid distilling his fathers wine as a hobby. When he began to take it seriously he made the incredibly precient move to acquire a historically significant set up from the old Michter's Distillery in the Schaefferstown, PA. For several years, Tom distilled a variety of single barrels of various mashbills and was able to make a name for himself releasing some of the first craft bottled in bond American whisky since the craft boom started. He's since sold the old pot stills and replaced them with a gorgeous pair alembic stills from france, but he continues to make extremely high quality whisky and applejack and sell it for very reasonable prices. We've been buying from Tom and his wife Lianne since 2016 and the whiskies are starting to take some serious age. This amazing bourbon barrel is the oldest we've yet found in Tom's rack house. Distilled on February 22nd of 2013, it was distilled from a mash of 51% yellow dent, 26% 2 row malt & 23% winter rye. Sour mash starter and fermented for 3 days in their antique cypress fermenters, it was double distilled on the old Michter's Jug House pots. Filled at 108.6 proof into a new Independent Stave Cooper's Select on February 25th. It aged for 7 years and 9 months in Tom's Rack House #1. Bottled at cask strength (110 proof) without chillfiltration.
