Islay is great. Not a huge fan of peated Scotch though. Unpopular opinion I know.

Eh. It's not for everyone I suppose.

I went in 2023 and brought back 25 bottles. Cantillon, Westvleteren, Duchesse.

Did you open a store?

I dont know why my youtube link isnt working. Its the Parks and Rec scene where Ron visits Lagavulin.

I watch a lot of Irish people trying different whiskies... many don't seem fans of peated whisky.

It works for me.

Mmm, Irish whiskies are a whole different beast. Never any peat involved as far as I know.

I think there are some (look at me being an expert from watching Irish people on YouTube!), but it's not the norm.

You guys are making me wish my banana milkshake was something else… I haven’t had a drink - aside from a tiny bit of wine at Passover - in over a year and a half

Oh, oh. There's Connemara. So that's one... Maybe Google can help with the rest.

I want to like whisky! I would definitely do a distillery tour or two (or five...)

You have to learn how to drink it. I say the same thing about beer and red wine. How you deal with it in your mouth makes a huge difference

One of my running friends apparently has over 100 bottles of Cantillon and West in his cellar... He might as well be a boutique store.

I remain amazed at how well those beers age.

That... could apply to a lot of things

Three factors at play. Cantillon uses wild yeast fermentation and some of that yeast is still active in the bottle and serves as oxidation delay. Their aged hops are also antimicrobial; keeps the bottle healthy and no volatile bitterness. Esterification actually helps with softening the phenols and esters over time. 2-3 years for some Cantillons is actually recommended before drinking.

Sorry for the nerd out but I'm v passionate about Lambics.

I love the way you think.

Do they add any live yeast before bottling the way champagne makers do?

One of the best beers I ever had was a bière de garde that was maybe seven years old. The name? I forget. I think it had something to do with a dog.

No live yeast. Not really needed since they've been using the same barrels for so long, the wood is saturated with yeast as is.

I found the brand, but I forget the vintage. It was complicatedly delicious.

Good evening Cozy, hope everyone is enjoying their Friday night/ Saturday mornings

Most lambics use wild and open fermentation. If you ever get to Belgium tour Cantillon.

I hope to get there someday.

I could go to Tree House Brewing tomorrow if I feel like it.

Oooh. I don't think I've ever had that. Looks interesting. Google says it uses wine yeast. Yum. On the list it goes.

Right on. Been seeing a lot more of Trillium and Von Trap beers down here lately.
