Exile on Main Street. Bee Thousand. These great records didn’t materialize on the first take. Oh no. Back in those analog days, it took a marathon single-day recording session filled with tinkering, experimentation, and wild dreaming. Try one riff. Test out another. And more and more until a cohesive record emerged from this exploration of goodness. But buried with that creative tapestry is a trail of alternate takes; a collection of hits in their own right.
This iterative process of exploring what could be continues with our latest iteration, Alternate Takes 4: Whiskey Finished in Utopias Barrels & Oloroso Sherry Barrels. For this take, we harvested our own American Single Malt Whiskey and finished it in 74% Samuel Adams Utopias barrels and 26% Oloroso Sherry barrels, finding a beautiful harmony at the intersection of fine beer and fine spirits.
Enjoy a complex mix of dried fruits, cedar wood, and nuttiness with overtones of rich dark cherries and fine port.
Our Alternate Takes series is an ode to the mad chemistry of R&D distilling, and we’re excited to see where it takes us next. With limited availability, check out the Fish Finder at dogfish.com/fishfinder to help you track some down in your neck of the woods!
