Some insight into our production of Riz, Louisiana Rice Whiskey.
Kurt Maitland, Deputy Editor of The Whiskey Reviewer, visited with us several months ago for an in-depth tasting and discussion of our spirits. Today, Kurt published the results of his sensory evaluation in his review of Riz, which earned an “A” and five stars!
As Kurt put it, “I don’t know if it’s because this is my first taste of a Rice based American Whiskey, if it’s something in the rice and water from Louisiana but this is easily one of the best tasting white whiskies I’ve ever had.” As Kurt noted in the review, it’s not just the rice and the water, but we also cite our use of malt whiskey yeast and our old-school pot distillation process as key to creating the distinctive and pleasant flavors found in Riz.
“The Whiskey Reviewer is a web magazine currently ranked as the #5 whiskey-only website in the world, and the web’s rising source for whiskey reviews, news, mixology and drinks, history, travel, and other information. This website has been cited, quoted and reprinted by the American Distilling Institute’s newsletter, The Atlantic, Drinkhacker, Foodista, MarketWatch, NY Daily News, Toronto.com and others.”
Yes, it’s nearly Carnival time. Which means some adjustment to our regular schedule. We’ll be open this coming weekend, February 7-8; however, we will be CLOSED next weekend, February 14-15. We’ll be back to our regular hours the following weekend, February 21-22. Happy Mardi Gras!
We enjoyed a visit with Chef Jordan Herndon from The Old Portage this weekend. Jordan picked up a couple bottles of Buck 25 Vodka to make his Blood Orangecello. This enticing infusion was destined for The Handa Wanda, a Mard Gras themed cocktail. Jordan’s method involved vacuum sealing the blood oranges with the Buck 25. For even faster results, one could put this sealed treasure in the sous vide immersion circulator! Our correspondent on the scene provided the photos of the cocktail and menu listing.
