You likely know about the beauty and genius of Jeremy’s culinary skills. Some of you also know that he has an amazing instinct for the creation of spirits.
CHEERS!
We have been struggling with sourcing apples from old abandoned orchards- it was not a great year for those old trees who get no pruning or care…Jeremy has been making apple brandy from those types of trees, whose juice represents the historic style of cider making- tart, complex, and a staple of homes all around New England. In our despair, my optimistic husband said ‘maybe this is the year to try something with potatoes and corn…” so get ready fans, WHISKEY is on the way!
Corrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnnn
this is a batch of North Egremont corn that will be dried, husked and ground- the master distiller will figure out what’s next…
Cheers to You!
Jeff and I can’t wait to nip some of Jeremy’s pear brandy on the boat this weekend!
Sending much love and thanksgiving,
Abby
p.s. that photo is ridiculous
That is definitely my favorite picture of you, maybe my favorite picture ever.
I think Jeff and I will unscrew that mason jar of you luscious pear brandy for an aperitif tonight…alright!
