Lisko’s American Life

Sitting on the lawn, the three of them had lunch, and Lisko returned to Zhang You, Li Feng, and took a lot of photos of the two of them.

After all this is done, dispose of your own dining garbage, pack it and throw it into a fixed garbage disposal.

The three rushed to the next destination.

The next destination is not far from here. It only took Lisko five minutes to drive the car. As soon as he stopped the car, he could smell the tempting aroma of malt in the air. Lisko closed his eyes and smelled the aroma of malt. Looking at the aroma that permeates the air, I feel that my modest alcohol addiction has been hooked.

Zhang You on the side couldn't hold back for a long time, he kept swallowing his throat, and pushed Lisko.

"Let's go, let's go in."

The destination this time is the Stehanna Whiskey Distillery in Denver, the most famous whiskey distillery in Colorado. Here you can watch the whiskey brewing process in real time and taste your own original Colorado specialty whiskey.

The most important thing is that you can pay a part of the money and try brewing by yourself. The distillery will post a logo, and then mail the whiskey you brewed by yourself to you according to the address you left, so this place has become a special place for many wine lovers. Like to come to the place.

After all, no brand of wine is as good as the wine brewed by myself under the guidance of a winemaker.

The decoration style of the winery is inclined to the American country style. The whole factory area is like a family workshop in the 1960s and 1970s in an American drama. Many local Americans have strong memories when they see this decoration.

The overall color is yellow, and there is a decoration surrounded by hemp rope at the door, which is a whiskey bottle. Many early Americans had a self-made wine jug, and in order to prevent collisions with other things, Will use hemp rope to make a cover for the whole bottle.

This building commemorates these.

Lisko went to the front desk to pay. The tour fee here is ten dollars per person. At the same time, you can also taste whiskey. If you want to add your own brew, you have to pay another fee.

"Uncle, let's go in."

Lisko put away his wallet, took the tickets for the three of them, and said to Zhang You, who was greedy for tourists as he went in and out.

"Okay, let's go, by the way, do you want to drink the wine here?"

Zhang You took the bill and walked in impatiently, learning about it with Lisko as he walked.

"You can drink whatever you want, and there are other services in the back. By the way, uncle, do you want to try brewing your own wine? There are experience programs here, and the brewed ones can be mailed to you."

"Really? You can try."

Zhang You's eyes are getting brighter and brighter. This place is really suitable for him to play. Although he loves to drink, he has never seen how to make wine, let alone foreign wine.

"You drink less."

Li Feng made arrangements on the side, but he didn't stop her. Just now Zhang You followed her to the place she liked, so she didn't do anything to stop Zhang You today.

Moreover, she has never seen the wine making process, so she is a little curious.

Following the crowd, we walked into the winery, where we can see many rows of wine barrels, which are all placed sideways and arranged on shelves one by one.

The whole factory has a strong smell of whiskey, and there are various wine barrels lined up on the side of the road. Everyone can turn on the tap and pick up a glass of water on one side to taste.

"Wheat, grain, and rye."

Lisko looked around at the nameplates on the barrels, which showed the type of whiskey.

Today he is the main force driving, so he can only smell the tempting smell and drool secretly. Normally, he is fine in Garrison because the distance is short and there are no traffic police, but if he is drunk driving in downtown Denver, then Not an easy thing to get rid of.

Zhang You has no obstacles in this regard. He first took a water glass to pick up the pure malt whiskey and tasted it, and at the same time, the professional staff of the winery introduced the drinking method.

Zhang You took a cup, but didn't start drinking right away. He listened to the introduction with his ears pricked up. Unfortunately, he only understood a few words.

"Uncle, what people say is not to drink too much. This kind of pure wheat drinking method is relatively old. You just need to cover the bottom of the cup, then shake it like drinking red wine, and cover the entire wall of the cup with the wine. Fully evaporate the aroma of whiskey, then take a sip, swirl in your mouth, and then swallow, do not open your mouth after swallowing, breathe through your nose, and feel the aroma rising from your throat to your nasal cavity."

Lisko was translating for Zhang You while listening to the introduction. He had to say that no matter which country, the drinking culture is very developed. There are so many considerations.

After listening to Lisko's introduction, Zhang You took a sip as required, then closed his eyes, and tasted it fully. The whiskey just entered his mouth was a bit sticky, which is the characteristic of pure malt whiskey. Afterwards, the taste was complex and diverse. The wine has an ancient charm, matched with the surrounding decoration style, the whole person seems to have come to that picturesque workshop, surrounded by the era of the American gold rush.

Pure malt whiskey is more suitable for drinking before going to bed. After drinking, I feel very peaceful in my heart.

"Awesome."

After tasting the taste in his mouth, Zhang You sighed softly. In the past, what he pursued in drinking was only the comfort after being drunk, and the relief from confusion. This is the first time he truly experienced the unique charm of wine.

As the crowd continued to move towards the next destination, Zhang You toured the scenery along the way while drinking the remaining whiskey in his glass until he came to the second location. The wine in his glass also allowed him to practice the method of wine tasting Finished.

The second alcoholic drink is grain whiskey. Zhang You washed the glass in his hand with water from one side, and then took a little whiskey. Stay in the bottom of the cup.

Li Ke still acted as Zhang You's real-time translator, popularizing the knowledge of this type of wine to him.

"Uncle, they say the taste of grain whiskey is light and soft. For many people, this wine is bland and not very popular with everyone, but grain whiskey has a good character. It It can be fully affected by foreign objects, so it is used by many bartenders as a neutralizer to adjust the taste."

After listening to the introduction, Zhang You took a sip using the wine tasting method he had just learned, and frowned involuntarily.

"So this whiskey has been improved on the market, and some are served in bourbon barrels. This kind of barrel can bring vanilla and caramel to the grain whiskey. Generally, it is only brewed in bourbon barrels for three months. The palate is very rich, and if aged for more than two decades, by then, the grain whiskey will become smoother and sweeter, with pleasant vanilla notes and aromas of top oak, orange and honeydew melon.”

"There is another kind, called Sydney barrels. In comparison, the alcohol content produced by it will be lower than that of bourbon barrels, but it can make the sweetness of the wine more intense, and at the same time, it also incorporates some aromas of dried fruits such as raisins."

After listening to the introduction, Zhang You nodded while memorizing it. The feeling of understanding these unknown knowledge made him very rich.
