navenjohnson Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 My dear mom sent me a link to http://www.good-libations.com/ yesterday saying her friend was going to invest in this. Anyone here heard of them? Anyone on here working with them? Can simply adding GRAS to a barrel make a 20 year whiskey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestar Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 No, could be snake oil, but there could be GRAS additives that might neutralize most objectionable characteristics in young whiskey, who knows? Since they don't identify anything, or list any relevant patents (I could find none on USPTO), I am not sure I would invest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreshot Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Most "Fast aging" processes tend to leave products one dimensional. http://www.twincities.com/2016/09/10/startup-showcase-when-the-spirit-cant-wait-good-libations-moves-in/ I looked briefly for a patent but I couldn't find it. If you can find it list it so that we can chew it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyspirits Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 It always concerns me when they claim trademark (Good Libations) when none exists. Could be a marketing/web dude screwup but make one wonder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreshot Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 http://www.1millioncups.com/presentations/good-libations-llc-10023 Quote 1. Increasing flavor components known to provide a fruity and aromatic aroma 2. Decreasing undesirable compounds that cause the burning sensation The result is a product that has a taste profile that is similar to those of long aged barreled products. Sounds like they spike it with carboxylic acid(s) to create esters & then does something to remove heads. It doesn't sound like anything groundbreaking but you never know. When they have professional level people taste and rate their products then I'll trust it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
