RJ Spagnols Double Down Bourbon Barrel White Blend

[skyfire322]

I've been thinking about my next white, and came across the Double Down White Blend. Looks like it also includes a finishing blend (which I assume is an F-pac).

Has anyone taken a crack at this one?

I did the red blend, the F pac gives it the bourbon flavor. Mine is still pretty young but it taste good now and should only get better as it ages.

Thanks! Is the F-pac a little "overpowering"? My idea was to go through malo, and have it age with oak cubes that were soaked in rum.

Yeah, the F-Pac gave a fake sweet bourbon taste to me. It wasn’t a bad taste but just didn’t seem right to me, I make a lot of bourbon flavored beers so that’s what I was comparing too. I did what your saying except I did oak cubes soaked in bourbon, gave it a more authentic bourbon barrel flavor. Hope this helps.
