November Notes continued from the Newsletter -
Doubled & Twisted Whiskey is coming. This is my project to become a ‘Master Distiller’. This week I’ll do a light filter and then a grand day of bottling a monster load of about 130 cases of Light Whiskey. I designed the labels & just picked them up at the printers so I’m ready to go. My Dad set the standard of how to become a Master Distiller in our family. I had to distill something ‘equal to or better then what I have been making with him.’ Dad says it passes his standards – whew! Call me if you have questions or would like to buy a bottle… more info: http://markokspirits.com as I explain the name & the photo on the label.
November: I love it when all my winemaking friends are out and about in town talking about the fact that all their wines are barreled down, presses are cleaned out, and they’re done for the year…… and here we head into distilling season. We’ll be making some more brandy with our little still up on the hill this year. It makes some of the best brandies for ports – and good brandy means good port.
Drink Idea: Try the Pomegranate Aperitif and a splash of tonic on the rocks & let me know what you think.
I’ve been wanting to say a big THANK YOU to all who made the drive up to the Still on the Hill or called in to keep stocked up with Charbay. We will continue to have releases of wines & spirits not found anywhere else in the world. If you can’t visit, we promise to let you know what’s new through our newsletters so you don’t miss out.
Stay tuned for new wine releases and D&T – perfect for the family get-togethers this holiday season!
