Looks that way.... It also appears that she gives plenty of head...

 

Yep, doing it is not that big of a deal.. Its the legal part of it.. Our government is pretty strickt about making grain alcohol.. Even the small breweries that have dabbled in rum and whiskey are being required to sell it to the government, only to buy it back from them with an added tax. Really a rediculous law, but its still on the books.. Beer and wine are fine to make for personal consumption thuough.. Really makes the other law that much more stupid..

 

Wine from fruit juice could always be distilled as an alternative to corn. But I suspect the law is not that dumb....

 

Actually its the distillation process that is illegal. Doing it from wine would produce brandy, not bad by any means. The issue I have is, even though I make 3-6gal batches of 17% alcohol wine, after distillation, you would only be left with 17% of, say, a 5gal batch. Lots of work for a small return. The guys who do it "professionaly" wouldnt bother for less than a 55gal batch, again only a small portion would be what your left with. Not bad, but its a big process to do it on the "low".. Maybe when I have "too much time on my hands" I'll re-evaluate the possibility.Wish I had the basement that Dale mentioned.. That would open a whole new world of possibility for legaly questionable production.

 

You should see the size of the storage casks in a Scottish whisky distillery! Mmmmmm.

 

Ah, sounds good.. I recently heard that those barrels used for scotch are actually once used from Kentucky Bourbon and Tennesee Whiskey distilleries. Apparently the charred oak barrels with the whiskey or bourbon flavoring helps add dimension to the scotch.. Alcohol is pretty interesting stuff...

 

I hadn't heard that Greg, certainly some of them use sherry casks. Alcohol is VERY interesting stuff! Cheers.

 

The most interesting stuff I ever tried was in Puerto Vallarta a few years ago.
It's legal now, I've heard.
It was hard to swallow a shot because it just kinda dissolved in your mouth, likely absorbing through the roof of your mouth directly into the brain.
2 shots and it was nearly game over for the evening.

I agree with the last line-
"For those who drink alcohol at all, a taste of raicilla is an almost essential part of the full local experience. When you drink it for the first time, you should be in secure surroundings among people you know and trust and use cautious moderation."

 

Friday night. Wife is still in Mexico until 23rd.
Big plans....cold and dark out, slippery roads....
gotta do laundry as it's not doing itself...

Please don't take my man-card away.

 

Get a hold of yourself man. Chin up, shoulders back, slow deep breaths. We can do this....

Just make sure nobody else is watching!
