The McMenamins brew pub chain out of the Pacific Northwest, as we’ve chronicled over the years, has annual releases of its Devils Bit whiskeys tied to its regular St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. 2021 is certainly no exception to this standard as, for the first time, they are releasing as well a club exclusive 750 ml bottling.
The more regular McMenamins Devils Bit whiskey, according to those behind it, is aged for six years in toasted, light charred oak barrels after having been distilled from a mash bill of malted barley. It is then finished for an additional time in used sherry casks. Bottled at 46% ABV, it is being made available in limited numbers for $24 per 200 ml bottle.
