My mate at the bottleshop said after his boss tasted it they would have to open a $600 bottle of whisky to come close to the flavour. Now this batch was done in my 4" bubbler and I had a bit left over so it was stripped in my 2" pot still and a spirit run in it too.
To say the bubbler version is nice when a mate tried the pot still version he said Bryan you have hit the nail on the head here as it's way better than the bubbler version.
So go grab some barely and get malting mate :handgestures-thumbupleft: , now you can also do generations too and put some fine milled corn in for the second generation and add some other grains for the third etc. Strip every ferment then do a blended spirit run and put it down at 65% on French Oak for 6-12 months. I'm sure you will agree it is way better than using breakfast cereals.

Thanks Bryan
My last ngw is almost done and once finished I will start on an all grain whiskey with my angel yeast. I already have some purchased malted barley but am considering how I could malt my own barley. I have an old worm farm that I think would provide a good grain bed with space for the co2 to drop through to. I will start adding a a couple of kilos of sugar as well just to get the yield up a little as my bourbon AG yields about half what my BWKO. I will stick with the WBAB wash for my vodka though as it is so easy lol. I might try a full wheat AG one day but I really am not understanding why I want full flavour in my neutral/vodka
