History and production of the Journeyman Corsets, Whips & Whiskey:

The Journeyman Distillery was founded in 2011 by Bill Welten in the tranquil town of Three Oaks, in the US federal state of Michigan. Until a few years ago, the friendly master distiller worked in the family bank. This was sold and Welter looked for a new challenge. He traveled the world and lived in Scotland for a few years, where he fell in love with single malt whisky. The desire to distill his own whisky quickly grew in him.

By a lucky coincidence he met Greg Ramsay. He runs his own distillery in Tasmania, Australia, where Welter was able to work for a few weeks. Bill Welter visited many more distilleries, mostly in the USA, and gained important experiences and impressions from every single one.

Finally, the time had come for him to look for a suitable place for his stills. He finally found one in Three Oaks. The EK Warren featherbone factory, a former corset factory, was the perfect place for Welter to set up his own distillery.

After an extensive renovation phase, production of his first-class organic spirits finally started in 2011. In addition to bourbon, wheat and rye whiskey, the craft distillery also produces various gin variations, vodka, rum and limited specialties.

One specialty is certainly the Journeyman Corsets, Whips & Whiskey, which is made from 100% organically grown wheat. Whiskey made from wheat is quite rare, as the production process is very complex and can only be managed with a lot of experience and skill. The result is extremely mild and soft, with intense notes of vanilla and caramel. Storage in fresh American white oak barrels also contributes to the gentle taste of the Journeyman Corsets, Whips & Whiskey.

The Journeyman Corsets, Whips & Whiskey is bottled undiluted, i.e. at cask strength, with a strong 58.3% alcohol by volume and, of course, without the addition of coloring.

Taste of the Journeyman Corsets, Whips & Whiskey:

On the nose, the Journeyman Corsets, Whips & Whiskey has rich notes of vanilla, caramel, oranges, coconuts and baked apples. In the background, there are hints of raisins, apricots and spicy oak. You definitely can't tell how strong the alcohol is when you smell the Journeyman Corsets, Whips & Whiskey. Rather, the aromas appear very delicate and harmonious, with no trace of alcoholic spiciness.

The full power of the Journeyman Corsets, Whips & Whiskey is revealed in the taste. The high alcohol content ensures a powerful start. Notes of vanilla, toffees, marshmallows and biscuits are present. There are also spicy oak, black pepper and cinnamon.

The Journeyman Corsets, Whips & Whiskey can easily tolerate the addition of water. This opens up the bouquet and light fruit aromas emerge. On the tongue, the Journeyman Corsets, Whips & Whiskey is then significantly milder and there is a gentle creaminess. The finish is long and surprisingly spicy.

The Journeyman Corsets, Whips & Whiskey is an all-round successful product, which is unlikely to be found anywhere else. Perfect for pure enjoyment after adding water, it also plays a leading role in cocktails and mixed drinks.
