As soon as we were able to brew our own spirits some of us started crafting barrels, produced mash, and distilled the wash into fine whiskey or schnaps, fitting our taste. Even better, we were allowed to be very creative about the names given to our products. All the information is still visible on the barrels, and, in reduced form, on the bottles. Barrels still show the day the process started.
Since I almost immediately ordered my newly assigned brewer to take care of these opportunities, and kept some of the products, I decided to display all of what I still have from back then. It is kind of a short term exhibition of the booze and wine I produced over time, the products of other brewers and distillers supported (they joined the beverage tasting event we held at some time), and other alcohol related items I found in my crates.
If you are interested, feel free to visit my house in front of Moonglow, on Drachenfels. The exhibition will last for a few weeks.
Why do I bring this up right now?
Quite simple - we have had the 10 year anniversary of distilling, roughly a month ago, concluded from my oldest distillate, labeled "Waldquell" (the meaning in english is something like "Forest Spring"), brewed in the deep forests of Yew, more than 10 years ago, August the 28th, 2011.
So which products would you like to present? Old, new or extraordinary. Some of the distillates and wines have stories. Care to share?
