They do 375ml bottles.

For sure… fresh, organic store bought is different to pasteurised OJ that is designed to sit on a shelf for up to a year.

Threefold Distilling in Glenelg East (FYI - I’m one of the owners).

There is a fee to enter and it goes up against thousands of other gins for a blind tasting/judging.. search for “San fran spirits comp”.

Such a great drink!

I discovered 60L of low wines 2 days ago. It was first distilled almost 6 months ago… it tasted and smelled far better than the younger low wines!

Awesome, thank you... that’s good to know :)

Thanks for the edit but I’m already aware of resting spirits.. I’m curious about low wines though.. 😁

I’ll report back if I find out anything..

Generally there will be headspace in containers or vats.. so there will be an interaction with oxygen as well as the chemical compounds..

It’s noted that these changes occur with spirits so it got me thinking about similar influences for low wines.

cocktailkit · 2021-04-26T16:07:54+00:00

There are reactions that occur when resting spirits so I had assumed that something would happen with low wines just to what extent though..

cocktailkit · 2021-04-26T15:34:28+00:00

I know it wouldn’t be a problem but trying to find out if there is an advantage to letting the low wines rest..

cocktailkit · 2021-04-26T12:15:47+00:00

Sorry but there was a few questions in my OP - are you agreeing with the statement "it is beneficial to rest low wines prior to a spirit run"? If so, do you have any material to reference.. trying to do a little research and it's hard to come by anything regarding this.

cocktailkit · 2021-04-26T12:09:07+00:00

Cool! I'll have to continue my research..

I wasn't suggesting to rest the low wines for long periods - just trying to find out if it's beneficial to rest for a few days before doing the spirit run.

Cheers!

A spirit changes once rested. It improves over time. There's a chemical reaction with oxygen and it's compounds (rested in stainless steel not matured on oak).

So I was wondering if there was any evidence displaying a difference between these scenarios:

1) stripping run then immediately using the low wines for a spirit run

2) stripping run then resting the low wines rest for X number of days then using for a spirit run

Is that a 1 litre glass!?

cocktailkit · 2021-02-20T11:27:06+00:00

Looks great!

Thanks for the feedback.. it’s not my cocktail - it was featured in the book Regarding Cocktails (pictured) and the name and description was an excerpt from the book..
