This Will Age Poorly - By Geox

This Will Age Poorly—where irony ferments and sweetness forgets itself The barrel whispered, “Give it time,”But all it gave was wood and crime.The rum was rich, the amaro bold,But neither knew how not to mold. A twist of orange, bright and fine,To mask the rot with citrus shine.The sweetness faded fast and mean,A past that dressed up to be seen. You sipped. You tried. It hit too soon.Like…

Craft cocktail = craft + cocktail. Craft cocktails aren't just grabbing bottles and throwing their contents in a mixing glass. By the same token, craft in the cocktail world isn't just taking one material and extruding it until you arrive at your chosen form. It's considering the functionality, universal usage, and aesthetics of the product. What details will truly show that God lies within the product? How can the materials be showcased in a way that truly brings attention to their appearance? Can elements of the product be designed to prevent usability issues the end-user may not foresee?

Just like a wonderfully-crafted bevvy, which may have processes lasting over a month before its contents are mixed in front of you, a product like the Sidecar takes time to work out all its ingredients, while still arriving at a beauty of a final product. Maybe if you make a Catoctin Creek 1757 Sidecar for the guy in the red suit, he'll keep an extra eye out for you this season...

Caol Ila 28 1979/2007 #3422 AS Malt Trust (51,7 %)

Dette er en Caol Ila fra Aged Spirits’ serie Malt Trust. Aged Spirits er en uavhengig tapper (skotsk ifølge Whiskybase, men andre kilder oppgir at de holder til i USA) som later til å konsentrere seg om det amerikanske markedet. Denne Caol Ilaen ble uansett destillert i februar 1979 og tappet i juli 2007.

På nesen fant jeg mint, røyk, litt agurk (!), tjære, sitrus, vanilje, eiketre, litt kamfer, anis og hint av tran/fisk (!). Smaken var søt, med vanilje, malt, litt røyk, toffee, lakris og eik. Avslutningen var lang og fruktig, med sitrus, toffee, røyk og eiketre. Med litt vann kom det litt mer vanilje på nesen, litt lys sirup, urter og eukalyptus. Noe fruktigere. Smaken fikk litt stikkelsbær, melon, toffeee, malt og eiketre. Avslutningen ble noe søtere, med malt, litt anis, røyk, mint, nellik og kardemomme.

Trenger ikke overraskende både noe vann og tid (ikke så mye vann, men et kvarter i glasset trenger den for å få ristet av seg litt av tran- og mintlukten, som er litt sjenerende først). Nok en god, gammel Caol Ila.

Karakter: 87/100
