In this craft spirits
conversation and tasting with distiller Nate Groenendyk, some of
the topics we discuss include:
How a
duo of spirits enthusiasts converted their love for craft spirits
into an agricultural and distilling operation that’s pumping out
delicious apple brandy and dutch style gin.
A
comparison of Dutch-style gin and London Dry gin, specifically
looking at differences in production methods, flavor profiles, and
cocktail applications.
We
also really dig deep into all the little choices that each craft
distiller must make regarding ingredient sourcing, fermentation,
distillation, and maturation that all build upon one another to
create the unique fingerprint of each distillery.
Nate
fantasizes about traveling back in time to let his great
grandfather in the Netherlands taste his version of
Genever.
Eric
asks some typical probing questions about barrels and mash
bills.
And
we both sample a little bit of Sangfroid’s delicious Hollands Style
gin.
