A Spontaneous Libation for your Consideration

Over the next ridge

Created and posted by Shawn C.

1⁄2 oz Brucato Amaro Chaparral
1⁄2 oz Breckenridge Bitter
1 twst Lemon
Instructions

Notes

The ingredients and name are references to backpacking and day hiking in the Sierra and foothills. There is always something over the next ridge to draw the trekker onward. The aromas and the surrounding flora change as one ascends.

Likewise, this is a combination of flavors and scents. The gin brings an herbal Douglas fir presence--there is no direct substitute for the gin here, although one could combine Clear Creek Douglas fir eau-de-vie and a dry gin to make a facsimile.

The Chaparral amaro represents an intermediate altitude of spearmint and sub-alpine herbal. The bitter is mild, and somewhat fruity. Comoz strikes a balance between sweet white grape and wormwood bitter.

One could use Dolin blanc for a sweet variation, or a dry vermouth for a moderately drier/perhaps more balanced profile.

Bourbon: What it is ... and isn't

This is the third in a series on Bourbon by Zach Pearson. Read them all: Bourbon, Bourbon After the Act, Bourbon: What it is ... and isn't, Making Bourbon, Who Makes My Bourbon, Producer Capsules., Finding the Good Stuff, Tasting the Good Stuff, Neat, Mashbills, Geeky Information and Resources.

Defining bourbon is complicated. It’s easiest to quote the relevant laws then talk about them, so let’s go to the official record, the Federal Standards of Identity for Whiskey, CFR 27 5.22 (b). Skip down if you don't care to wade through the laws.

(b) Class 2; whiskey. “Whiskey” is an alcoholic distillate from a fermented mash of grain produced at less than 190° proof in such manner that the distillate possesses the taste, aroma, and characteristics generally attributed to whiskey, stored in oak containers (except that corn whiskey need not be so stored), and bottled at not less than 80° proof, and also includes mixtures of such distillates for which no specific standards of identity are prescribed.

    Is there a mL/cL bug in the entry? This is over 30 oz of ingredients, so decreasing by a factor of 10 might make it reasonable (30/25/20/15).
