GCD Experimental Series: Testing the "Mad Scientist’s" Newest Blends!

The "Mad Scientist" Does It Again! | GCD Experimental Series Review Can Glenns Creek Distilling’s "Mad Scientist" (aka David Meier) push the boundaries of bourbon even further? Today on Your Bourbon Journey, Wayne and Rebecca are diving into three brand-new releases from the GCD Experimental Series (February 2026). From a complex seven-grain mash bill to a mysterious Rich Mountain expression, these bottles are anything but traditional. We break down the nose, palate, and finish of each to see if these experiments were a success! The Bottles on the Table: * .44 CAG: A 23-month, 112.4 proof powerhouse featuring Red, White, Blue, and Yellow corn. * Heirloom Blend: A 47-month, 108.8 proof "best of" blend of various GCD mash bills. * Rich Mountain: A 117.8 proof undisclosed mash bill aged for 47 months. In this video, we discuss: * The uniqueness of Glenns Creek Distilling. * The complexity of a 7-grain bourbon. * Why the Heirloom Blend stands out in the 2026 lineup. * Our final verdict: Which bottle should you track down? 04/17: We just learned that Glenns Creek has released the 750 ml bottle of .44 CAG. It is 14% Bloody Butcher, 21% Hickory King, 21% Hoppi Blue, 15% regular yellow, 14% wheat, 10% rye, and 5% malted barley. Barrel #1.
