Filibuster - The Boondoggler Whiskey NV | Monsieur Touton Selection

Tasting notes

Golden hues shimmer throughout; the legs are light and dance delicately. The Boondoggler was aged in five separate barrels: New American oak, red and white wine-soaked French oak casks, and two kinds of sherry casks. There are notes of dark fruit, oak and vanilla. Angel food cake and other pastries add to the overall sweetness, and orange peels add acidity and slight hints of oak in the finish.

History

Filibuster Distillery is a woman and minority owned business with the soul of a small family enterprise. Born in D.C. and now located in Virginia, a true American pioneer. The business began on the corner of 9th, not far from the Capitol, so Filibuster was a natural name choice. They wanted to lampoon the intensity of the political culture in D.C. Maybe if everyone just talked it out over a few drinks, things would go more smoothly?

Description

“The Boondoggler” is a wholly different approach to blending. We use various mash bill elements, including Corn, Barley & Rye and a wide selection of barrels to achieve a complex and flavorful Whiskey like nothing else out there. Our proprietary aging method includes time in New American White oak, Red & White wine-seasoned French oak, and Fino & Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks. “The Boondoggler” is neither a Bourbon or a Rye in the traditional sense, but combines elements of both for a one of a kind taste experience.
