If, like us here at The Coolector, you’ve got a Ron Swanson-esque appreciation of whiskey and are always on the lookout for new ones to try, you’ll definitely want to sit up and take notice of Blind Barrels and their excellent craft whiskey tasting experience. This cleverly conceived concept allows you to discover the very best in American craft whiskey from those hard-to-find brands that you just won’t find in your local liquor store. Available as a one off purchase (for a gift perhaps), a quarterly subscription ($59.99) or a yearly subscription ($199.99), there will be something for every whiskey lover here.
The beauty of Blind Barrels Whiskey Tasting Experience comes from the fact you’re not falling into any pre-conceptions about the brand and you can judge it on its most important merit – the taste. You can rest assured that with Blind Barrels you’ll be getting some of the best American whiskeys on the market – just not from the mainstream suppliers. Every quarter Blind Barrels subscribers will be treated to four unique and hard-to-find 50 ml samples of American whiskey. Each experience includes a tasting led by the brand’s excellent “spirits guide” to complement their tasting experience, learning about the nuances of each whiskey (color, aroma, taste, etc.) both educating novices and enhancing the knowledge of connoisseurs.
The guys at Blind Barrels understand that not everyone will want to commit to a subscription and would rather give it as a one-off gift. As such, they offer a single limited-edition Blind Barrels whiskey tasting box without the subscription. Ideally suited for those who wish to give their amazing, premium whiskey tasting experience a try without any commitment to the subscription model. There are so many incredible whiskey makers operating across the United States but so much of the market is dominated by the big brands so it’s a refreshing concept to get some of the smaller brands in front of a wider audience and we’re loving the Blind Barrels concept here at The Coolector.
It’s fair to say that America is in the midst of its 2nd whiskey boom. Blind Barrels is about expanding a subscriber’s horizons beyond the generic brands they know and can find pretty much anywhere. It’s about smaller distilleries, where the farmer that distills his grain is often the one bottling his or her delicious concoction. While some of the hidden gems in Blind Barrels’ line-up have been around for generations, there are many new craft distilleries that are pushing the boundaries of whiskey. These artisanal whiskey brands have taken craft whiskey to completely new heights, experimenting with mash recipes, distillation methods, and ageing methods. Make sure you don’t miss out.
