Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra Sonic Aged Single Barrel Straight Bourbon

Description

AVAILABLE FOR PICK-UP ON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 29TH

Barrel #1804 • Aged 5 Years • Final 5 months spent Sonic Aging

Composing and performing a great piece of music is not unlike producing and carefully aging a great bourbon. Both take time, both take great care and practice, and both produce something worthy of a standing ovation.

In collaboration with our partners at the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Black Button has melded both great arts through an experimental process known as sonic aging. By playing a piece of music directly to the aging barrel, the pulsating sound waves agitate the bourbon making it more vibrant and flavorful. The agitator chosen for this experiment was the RPO’s own 2007 performance of ‘Rhapsody in Blue’, conducted by Jeff Tyzik and featuring piano soloist Jon Nakamatsu. Inspired by the music of George Gershwin and aged in honor of the centennial celebration of both ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ and the 100th season of the RPO.
