Old Potrero

A distributor friend has gotten his hands on the last three bottles of this alloted to Phoenix. I get one of them.

18th c. style American Rye Whiskey
Bottled from the barrel, 125 proof
100% single rye malt, no corn, no grain alcohol dilution
Whiskey as it was originally made

Lucky, lucky me.

OK I always wondered how they made barrels watertight

Barrels aren't by themselves watertight. It's the addition of liquid; wine, liquor or beer, that causes the staves to swell and provide a seal to the cask. The barrels themselves continue to breathe, and the beverage inside becomes concentrated by evaporation. "The angels' share" as it's called.
