Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
I only recently heard about reclaimed whiskey (also called found whiskey) and to me it sounds either like a miracle, or cheating. Reclaiming whiskey is when you take the used barrel that the whiskey was aged in and add 20 gallons of water, and let it sit in the heat for several weeks. This brings out up to 2 1/2 gallons of whiskey that was soaked into the wood. Then the water / whiskey solution is distilled and you have the reclaimed whiskey, ready to sell. Jack Daniels seems to be the big dog of reclaimed whiskey. Why am I not surprised? Maybe it's because I consider regular old No. 7 to be barrel scrapings anyway? Personally I go for small batch bourbons, or a nice rye upon occasion. Although I don't mind a taste of their Gentleman Jack every now and then. Well whether you like them, love them, or not; JD distillery is smart. They found a way to get an extra case of whiskey out of each barrel. You can't really fault them for this. And while I may not care for it, they are a decent whiskey.So much so that they are the number one selling American whiskey brand, way above their competitors, and their sales are skyrocketing worldwide. As for the reclaimed whiskey, I think it's a miraculous way to make a few extra hundred thousand gallons of whiskey appear out of nowhere each year. They next miracle will be if they ever vote wet and make it legal to drink JD where it's made in Moore County, TN.

There was no re-distilling done, but the results were drinkable and certainly helped the roaring wood stove make those cold, post-hunt, November evenings warm and hazy.
