Why this is here, not in the Journal
The Hound poured this bottle but did not log a proper tasting note in the moment. The room was busy. The night kept moving. What you see below are the label facts the Hound can verify — nothing else. No secondhand tasting note. No reviewer aggregation. The verdict stays open until the Hound gets a second pour.
From the label
- 57.4% ABV — handwritten into the ALC./VOL. box
- Blend of two complementary barrels, hand-selected by seven 1906 Society founders and longtime fans of SEMO, Nobleton's, and Copper Dome (per the label)
- 750 mL — age and mash bill not printed on the bottle
The Gum Tree came across the bar at The Brothers twice, on separate nights, both in a busy room. Two quick pours gave the Hound an early read and nothing worth signing yet. The label facts above are verified; age and mash bill are not printed on the bottle, so they are not listed here. The tasting writeup waits for a quiet hour and a bottle of its own — the field report is in the journal entry linked above. Reader notes welcome.
Tell the Hound
If you poured this bottle with notes in hand, send the impressions. Reader notes are never published as the Hound's own — they inform the writeup when the second pour lands.

The Hound sends shadow invites to the list 24–48 hours before the public field note goes up. If you read this after 6 PM, that bottle is probably gone.
