I realize you think I am rushing the holidays like they do at the stores, but that is not the case. Big Guy has been toiling for almost a year to create a special whiskey for the holidays. He fermented cask proof whiskey with oranges, cinnamon, cloves, and star anise.
Month after month, he turned the liquid “gold” awaiting the day he could taste it. The day finally arrived, and he was rewarded with “Christmas” in a bottle. He is still tinkering with the mix as it came out strongly with clove and star anise notes, but our friends who have been tasting with us have already started suggesting mixes such as rum chata, eggnog, or a hot toddy. I guess, insert a heavy sigh, I will have to sacrifice myself to research, and taste other recipe ideas. What a tough life!
