Eric chats with spirits expert and Copalli Rum Global Brand Ambassador Elayne Duff
about a new Belizian cane spirit she's helping to bring to the US
spirits and cocktail scene. Some of the topics we discuss
include:
The
story of Copalli Rum as a philanthropic project by marine
conservationist Todd Robinson - and how he teamed up with Chef Anya
Fernald to create Copal Tree Lodge.
How
Elayne and her fellow Global Brand Ambassador Julie Reiner are
educating bartenders and home consumers about the magic of Copalli
rum here in the US.
Which
cane varietals, fermentation decisions, and sustainable distilling
practices influence the flavor of Copalli rum.
Some
thoughts on the perfect Daiquiri - and how you can modulate the
booze and sugar in the drink to achieve the ideal wash line and
flavor profile for you.
A
cautionary tale about the utter folly of comparing spirits aged in
different climates
Why
Eric thinks we need to coin the term “monkey’s share.”
And
much, much more
