Corey🥃 @bourbinfo.bsky.social · 14/08/2025Years ago, at the advice of a friend with an absolutely stunning whiskey collection, I got a water dropper to use in tastings. (I use something like these, which you can find pretty easily) 110 0
Corey🥃 @bourbinfo.bsky.social · 14/08/2025One of my favorite things to do with a new whiskey is to add a drop of water to see how it changes the smell and taste. How much are we changing it though? Time for some #WhiskeyMath here on #WhiSKY. 1/? 130 0
Corey🥃 @bourbinfo.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Some Wednesday #WhiskeyMath on converting 🥃 volume measurements! Wine, whiskey, and other spirits are sold with bottles marking their volumes in milliliters (mL). The most common size is 750 mL (or a “fifth”, referencing a fifth of a gallon). 1/? 120 0

Corey🥃 @bourbinfo.bsky.social · 01/07/2025Best way to do a tasting is with friends! Glad I have a neighbor that does these with me. This tasting was all about Penelope - only two samples this time, but a good brand for sure! I’ll definitely consider more of their products after this. 020 0

Corey🥃 @bourbinfo.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Today’s #WhiskeyScience post is all about the COLOR of bourbon (and other whiskeys too, I guess 😉) Bourbon gets its color from the barrel during aging. But WHAT is it, exactly, that imparts that heavenly amber hue? 🥃 I was curious, so I went and dug for the answer. Time for a 🧵 141 0

Corey🥃 @bourbinfo.bsky.social · 20/06/2025The Kentucky Artisan Tasting Lounge was a total blast. Marshall and Alexis were so much fun to talk with! Marshall gave me some great insight to the “mad scientist” feel of distilling - I think I’m gonna have to go back soon to talk more with him. Definite recommend for bourbon trail trips! 030 0
Corey🥃 @bourbinfo.bsky.social · 19/06/2025The geology in Kentucky, with lots of limestone aquifers, lends itself to good conditions for lots of mineral rich, iron-free water sources. An “aquifer” is an underground layer of water-bearing rock that stores (and filters) groundwater. 2/? 100 0
Corey🥃 @bourbinfo.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Today’s #WhiskeyScience topic is a little bit of geology: how limestone can impact bourbon! 🧪🪨💧🥃 One of the things about Kentucky that led to good bourbon is the presence of good-tasting, clean groundwater. 1/? 140 0

Corey🥃 @bourbinfo.bsky.social · 02/05/2025I don’t typically care for bourbon-flavored food, BUT this is delicious. Tastes like they just took good bourbon balls and mixed them into the ice cream! As the youths say, this slaps. Way to go, @graeters.bsky.social and @newriff.bsky.social #whiSky 030 0

Corey🥃 @bourbinfo.bsky.social · 23/04/2025I almost forgot: today being Earth Day reminded me of this interesting whiskey I came across: anyone heard of it? The label claims that this brand is in some way “carbon neutral.” I have questions. (1/5) 120 0

Corey🥃 @bourbinfo.bsky.social · 04/04/2025One of the things I really enjoy about whiskey as a hobby is all the angles to appreciate. You can’t tell the story of America without whiskey, and the Evan Williams tour in Louisville does a great job with that part! #whiSky 030 0
