Episode 288 - Your Tasting Notes are Bullshit | Live Seminar Presentation | Modern Bar Cart
Переглядів 49Місяць тому
Eric identifies two key strains of B.S. that run through contemporary tasting notes. Then, using a concept he refers to as "locating the 'heart' of a spirit," he explores how to generate tasting notes that say accurate things about flavor while also allowing people to connect with the liquid in a glass or a bottle.
Episode 286 The Case of the Quantum Coaster (Full) | The Modern Bar Cart Podcast | BOĆE Coaster
Переглядів 253 місяці тому
Eric investigates the BOĆE Coaster, which carries some pretty wild claims. The company that created it seems to think it deploys "quantum tunneling" to infuse spirits with a certain (proprietary) wavelength of light, which serves to decrease fusel oils in distilled spirits. Does the coaster hold up to a blind side-by-side whiskey tasting? What about an even MORE rigorous Triangle Tasting? Tune ...

Distiller Gian Nelson of Jano Spirits discusses the different approaches to making agave spirits in America. By far the most popular (and financially feasible) approach involves importing totes of agave syrup. However, some distillers are actually mashing and distilling wild and farmed agaves grown on US soil.

    Thanks so much for the in depth explanation about Westland as well as the review here. Now I can understand why these Solum offerings are so very expensive. I got a lead on Solum 1 for $140 before tax. Solum 2 is $175 in 2 separate stores near my work. I was thinking these were expensive but from all the info given here seems like a lot went into these.

    • @modernbarcart
      @modernbarcart 5 місяців тому

      Great question! Most producers (especially old-school European ones) don't divulge that info, so the only way to find out is to actually send it to a lab or buy a bottle and have it tested by a distiller who makes liqueurs and has the right equipment. I'll offer two things: 1.) for my palate, it seems like they may have an equivalent amount of sugar as Chartreuse (or possibly less due to the lower proof on the verte). 2.) Feel free to email podcast[at]modernbarcart.com and I can try and pass your question up the ladder to someone who may know more.

    Such an excellent listen! Thank you! Although the big question that wasn't answered - would you sub Izarra vert or jaune for green or yellow Chartreuse?

    • @modernbarcart
      @modernbarcart 7 місяців тому

      Very true! The answer to the question is an unsettling one to most. YES - you can absolutely sub it in and achieve very similar results in a cocktail. But if you're expecting an exact match for Chartreuse (verte or jaune), you'll be disappointed. In the same way, you can sub a yellow onion for a white onion in a dish, you'll generate slightly different outcomes. Usually, this is something to lean into for the sake of novelty and open-minded flavor exploration, but the brand mythos of Chartreuse has people really uptight about the herbal liqueur category. Anything "different" is automatically deemed "lesser," which is (I feel) a logical fallacy.

    i am a fair way into my gin journey. its distinct among spirits in that what it smells like is beginning to matter to me as much as the taste. its because, as the distiller is here, of the emotions that a smell can evoke. the right smell can take you on a journey. gins ive personally liked the most are nolets, befeater 24, and at the top blue coat. i would very much like to talk to other gin people to learn what to look for what matters how to taste and the like.

      Puget Sound Energy (PSE), the largest energy utility in the state, provides electric power to over 1.2 million customers. As of December 31, 2022, PSE’s electric power resources include a diverse mix of generation methods: Hydroelectric: Hydroelectric power accounts for more than 27% of PSE’s generation. The company owns and operates hydroelectric facilities, harnessing the energy of flowing water. Wind: Wind power contributes around 16% of PSE’s generation. PSE operates three large wind farms in central and eastern Washington, with plans for more in the future. Natural Gas: PSE generates electricity from its own natural-gas-fired power plants, which help balance the variability of renewable resources. Natural gas constitutes approximately 23% of their power generation. Coal (Phasing Out): PSE currently serves customers with coal-fired electricity, but by the end of 2025, in accordance with Washington state law, they will no longer use coal for electricity generation. Solar: Solar power makes up a small percentage of PSE’s generation, but the company is actively exploring local energy production through programs like Community Solar. Other Sources: PSE also utilizes other resources, including biomass and non-biogenic fuels, contributing to the remaining portion of their electricity mix. In summary, PSE’s commitment to clean energy includes a diversified portfolio of resources, emphasizing renewables like hydroelectricity and wind, while transitioning away from coal-based generation

    I've been vaguely award of Chinola, but this has definitely spurred me to seek it out. Sounds like they're primarily using p. edulis var. flavicarpa, which is a subspecies of the widely grown purple passion fruit. Flavicarpa has yellow fruit, is more acidic and primarily used for juice as opposed to fresh eating. Flavicarpa's also less cold-tolerant than p. edulis and will be killed by even the slightest frost (ask me how I know). Of course, all commercially grown passion fruit are hybridized, so the lines between the species/subspecies can be blurry.

    • @modernbarcart
      @modernbarcart 2 роки тому

      Glad this was interesting to you, Jayme! Sounds like you're probably right on the subspecies. Crazy what can be done with good, old fashioned grafting and cross-pollinating. Highly recommend trying Chinola in your next Saturn.
