Take 1, Volume 1: Barrel #237

Ripple In Time was maybe the most satisfying bottling for me in the second club cycle. I loved the complexity of the final blend but was so humbled by the overwhelmingly positive response to a forgotten style, Belgian Quadrupel. Employing my technique of using more volume than necessary to achieve the most depth of character, I filled a freshly dumped Venus Rye barrel with 50 gallons of the Ripple In Time blend. After a short 3-month soak, Ripple achieved a whole new level of complexity. Barrel #237 showcases maple glazed apple fritters, cherry cordial, ripe plum, and a grippy, spicy finish akin to a rye whiskey.
