“Deadwood Presents” this too, though it’s a much different beast than all of the above. A collaboration with the defunct NY whiskey bar Idle Hands, this is a batching of two barrels of 13 year old bourbon from MGP (which was LDI at the time). 75% corn, 21% rye, 4% barley. 219 bottles produced, for sale only in New York City. A rich note of roasted peanuts, savory dill, baking spice, honey, and barrel char offers an inviting — though not unexpected — introduction to what’s clearly a very mature whiskey. The palate is considerably less obvious, with a heavy body loaded up with brown butter, roasted nuts, and brown sugar. Spice builds as the finish approaches, as does the sweetness. The whiskey ultimately evokes notes of candy corn and peanut brittle on the back end, making for a hugely dessert-friendly offering. Idle Hands is light on its feet and delightful on the tongue, a significant pivot against the typical bottle of older bourbon, one where wood often becomes the focus. That said, $300 is an awfully hard sell. 96.66 proof.
