  • Mystery Tasting In The Whiskey Vault - Glen and Friends Cocktails After Dark.
    Today I travel down to Austin Texas to visit Daniel Whittington in the whiskey vault... But I didn't bring a whiskey for tasting, I brought something that he'd never heard of or tasted before. Today we're tasting Acerum, made from Maple.
    Thanks so much to daniel from the Whiskey Vault for inviting me in to do this tasting: / whiskeyvault
    Also check out Distillerie du St Laurent:

    I will once again be flying in the Give Hope Wings fundraiser this year! Our June of 2024 flight will see us stop in many communities in Eastern Canada to raise awareness for this worthy cause.
    Last year 2023 we raised over $27,000 towards helping our neighbours - we made a positive difference in the lives of many.

    Very interesting! Because I am a former drinker, I obviously don’t imbibe in alcohol and I am wondering now if there are non alcohol equivalents to spirits? Or, does any fermentation process always produce an alcohol?

    • @GlenAndFriendsCooking
      @GlenAndFriendsCooking  Месяц назад +7

      All fermentation (even bread) creates alcohol, so some of the '0% alcohols' use different methods to remove the alcohol while trying to retain flavour. While others try to replicate a spirit flavour without fermentation. Some still have a small amount (0.5%) of alcohol in them without having to declare it.

    • @Default78334
      @Default78334 Месяц назад

      In the metabolic chain, you can have other organisms digest the alcohol further into vinegar (and ultimately into acetyl-CoA). Alcohols->aldehydes/ketones->organic acids, which is basically how you make kombucha.

    That's a wild Wiskey Vault! This episode reminds me of business trip to Holland. Kept seeing commercials for 'Genniver. ' A distilled spirit in brown ceramic bottle. So I brought a bottle home and it turned out to be a Gin, but heavy on the botanicals. Never seen it for sale in the USA, oddly. Maybe for same reason your maple Canadian spirit isn't imported to USA? Spirits must be classified by type, by the BATF, and maybe these don't fall into the rum, gin or whiskey group?

    • @GlenAndFriendsCooking
      @GlenAndFriendsCooking  Месяц назад +2

      Officially they are classifying it as an eau-de-vie and government agencies seem to be happy with that. They are even pushing for a Protected Geographical Indication much like Cognac or Champagne.
      Probably the biggest reason they aren't yet shipping to the US is supply. It was hard enough to get my hands on a bottle in Quebec where it's made.
