The Experimental Spirits Co. launches Smoked Bacon Bourbon

The team behind the Eau De Vie cocktail bars and the Roosevelt Bar & Diner have launched a new boutique spirits company, The Experimental Spirits Co. which focuses on creating unique, high quality spirits.

Owner and founder of The Experimental Spirits Co, Sven Almenning said that he had the idea to create a boutique spirits company some time ago, but was only recently able to get the idea off the ground.

“I had an idea to create a unique boutique spirits company some time ago, when I ran my own consultancy outfit (behind bars), but due to various conflicts of interest I was unable to do so. Having now untangled myself from that, I am very excited to be launching the Experimental Spirits Co.”

Speaking about the company’s first product – a smoked bacon bourbon that has been launched to coincide with Australian Bacon Week – Almenning says that he sources genuine American bourbons and puts them through a ‘fat washing’ process, which allows the smoked bacon flavour to be integrated into the whiskey. The whiskey is then thoroughly filtered, bottled and wax sealed – all of which is done by hand.

“We developed this great little whisky when we were working on our Eau De Vie Small Batch Cocktails… and we thought it was too good not to share with the world in a more familiar format,” he says.

“It’s quite a laborious process, but it’s the nature of the products we want to produce.”

The Smoked Bacon Bourbon will initially be available within the Speakeasy Group venues including; Eau De Vie, The Eau De Vie Apothecary, The Roosevelt Bar & Diner and Eau De Vie Melbourne.

The spirit is also available for purchase via The Experimental Spirits Co’s crowdfunding campaign on Pozible.
