@goosehd Please come here and it will be with a great pleasure you'll taste it after a good cheese meal
It's something which must be shared after a meal with everyone who want it
The recipe has to be different if you include the childrens
Here's the final product:
For the taste it has, it's hard to describe, it has necessarily a taste of apple but depending of the spirit you had cause i like it sweet but hard at the same time, here's my recipe for a 10L barrel so you will guess the flavour mix with the apple:
7L of fresh apple juice
50cl of rhum
Some sugar
Some vanilla extract
Some rice cream (to have a compact mousse)
A little bit of caramel
A little bit of baking soda (not mandatory but it helps for the digestion)Yes @WhiskeySandwich it's in the cave, we call it "le carnotzet" here, a place to share food a drinks, have good times with family and friends:
For the dispenser, I bought it with the bottle, it's a 3L, very practical for the cocktails
-
@gouki74 wow, thats awesome, I'd love to have a spot like that. and that looks like a super handy dispenser!

Sure it is a great thing to have if you like cocktails with rum
-
@gouki74 One day I'll come along to see your cave. Actually I really miss France. In a way, a summer is only a summer if I've been to France. And this year I was only at Disney Paris (which is NOT France, french though). Anyway, will come along, and then I want to try that stuff.

@endo ahah la chèvre is better when the weather is cold outside
You're right for Paris, there is Paris and the others which are called "la Province"... it doesn't matter because "ici c'est la Haute Savoie" -
@gouki74 said in Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails):
ici c'est la Haute Savoie
sûrement .. ou la Gascogne, l’Ardèche, la Camargue, je les aime tous

Yes they are some nice place too
Have you ever been to "le Pays Basque"? It's surely the only place in France that would make me leave "La Haute Savoie". -
@endo it managed to keep the wild side inland even if it became touristy and it has the ocean where in our side we have the "lac leman". it is surely less expensive to live there also.
But here it's priceless, i live at 5mins of the lake and 10 far from the mountains so many activities are possible all year long even if there is more and more persons who want to live here because of the possibilities of jobs in Switzerland. -
@endo said in Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails):
right, the ocean nearby is wonderful, but the mountains also
Clearly, "La chaîne des Pyrénées" is really beautiful

@Jett129 I realise I owe you some thoughts on my recent acquisitions.
Method and Madness Hickory Wood Finish - very good (although possibly not accessible where you are). There’s a very distinct cured meat element to the nose which is new to me as well as honey and smoke - could turn out to be very food friendly.
Michter's US*1 Small Batch Bourbon - I don’t really need to tell you about this but thanks for the recommendation (and @WhiskeySandwich @Mizmazzle). More cinnamon on the palate than I expected but I like it.
The last one (Kyrö Wood Smoke Malt Rye) will have to wait. I’m saving it for a trip I’ve got planned for late November.

Was able to,recently, find a bottle of the Willett 4 year old rye for $52,which is a great price as I’ve been seeing it selling for considerably more. Really enjoyed it. The nose on its own is quite intoxicating, and after the heat from the first sip dissipates, the finish is wonderful. Really good with an ice cube.

@scooter Whistle Pig is my go to Rye, and the Cask Strength 46 is really great and definitely worth the extra money over regular 46. The other two I’ve never tried.
This is my first go-round with Whistle Pig. The purchase came with a couple of raffle tickets for allocated bottles, as well.
I picked up the 46 because this release is said to be particularly good.
This is my second bottle from Penelope. They're a craft blender/bottler. In May, they were acquired by MGP(Luxco). Prior to the acquisition, they were using MGP Indiana distillate, exclusively. Since, they've started using Kentucky distillate, as well. This bottle was the first blend of the 2 I came across. So, I thought I'd give it a go.
The Bardstown is part of a new program they started about 6 months ago. Single barrel, barrel strength, store picks. This one has a high rye mash bill (60% corn, 36% rye, 4% barley). 128.6 proof.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
