Chapter 56 - 56: Distilled Liquors (2)
What I introduced to Myrtienne was a 'blended whiskey' made by mixing barley with various other ingredients.
'Blended', literally means mixed.
In the past, various farms would distill the leftover barley from their harvests and sell the raw spirit at general stores, and families would blend these according to their preferences, which is how blended whiskey came to be.
It was a whiskey with a good balance, smooth and easy to drink, made by blending various purees.
It's hard to even judge the brand.
This whiskey was made purely using ingredients from this world.
There might be a way to replicate the taste of aged distilled spirits through alchemy, but more research needs to be done on that.
In the end, the whiskey I served to Myrtienne was one that was entirely crafted using ingredients from this world, based solely on Aria's 'taste.'
Of course, the base for that was the whiskeys I have tasted in my past life.
Aria carefully blended those flavors to create her own unique blended whiskey.
Honestly, I'm not sure if I should call this blended.
