Oo, do tell me how it is! I haven't tried any of their stuff. I have tried all Death's Door's spirits and like their Mint liqueur best.
Tangentially, still my favorite trip to anywhere on this rock was late autumn up in Door County (especially idly piddling around Washington Island post-leafers). The low limestone receding into the watery horizon was neat. That and the conifer/pine habitat and the peculiar drizzliness and gloom of the inland maritimes during this season speaks to the voiceless animal buried deep in my noggin.
Anovoca wrote:The single barrel is pretty darn silky. There aren't a lot of flavors going on (as to be expected with a regular aged whiskey and not a scotch or bourbon) but enough to warrant getting it over their regular whiskey. At the moment I would rate it above Crown XR, similar pallet but a touch smoother. I will try again this weekend neat instead of on the rock. As a side note, they make an award winning Gin (not my thing personally) and their brandies are hands down the best I have every had.

At least you haven't gone full-on coffee geek like my wife. She buys green beans and roasts her own.

I was making ribs this weekend, so I put 2 cups of Canadian Club whiskey in the smoker for what was supposed to be 20 minutes. It ended up being about 45, though. Unfortunately, the whiskey got hot enough it started to boil off. What's left is nice & smoky though.
just brew it! wrote:That's an interesting idea. I don't actually know how to cold smoke, but I could refrigerate the whiskey before putting it in the smoker. That will get me longer smoking time before I start to get significant evaporation.Any capability for cold smoking? That seems like it would be the way to go next time.

Okay, I was not expecting to see this. Is this on a menu, bottled in a curio shop or are you logging in from your underground lair?
And because I cannot resist... What is a dessert aquifer? Is that like a naturally occurring chocolate fountain?
