Good to know. I have not tried the Black yet but found the Cask 16 stuff great for manhattans.


I also picked up a Canadian Club Classic "Small Batch" the other day and found it to be a very good mixer in my standby Canadian + ginger ale. Highly recommended.

CC was doing a Sherry Cask Aged a few years ago, was getting it $20 for 750 ml, and it was pretty tasty stuff.

Started up a barrel aged Manhattan run. 25 oz Bulleit rye, 6 oz Noilly Prat, 1.5 oz orange bitters. All in a 1L oak barrel, which I'm still waiting to stop leaking. Probably should have done that before I mixed all the liquor, but didn't know it would take this long. So I have a liter of Manhattan sitting around in a measuring cup with a halfassed lid. :embar:

Nice work! Don't want to piss on your parade but is that enough vermouth? I mean, is that how you usually mix it?

Way to go though! Now I'm not the only cask ager going.

Is 4:1 your usual Manhattan?

I usually just sort of eyeball it, but close to that :embar: Went from some recipe this time, was hard to gauge the bitters when scaled up. I sampled the mix, seemed pretty good to my taste. The stupid barrel isn't ready yet anyway, plenty of time to test it again later and see if I want to add more.

roughly how long does it take to age?

Not entirely sure, two weeks is the rough estimate I have. Going to just pull some every week to see how it's going.

It does vary rather significantly with the size of the barrel.
