Korner Talk

A couple of weeks ago I went to Equator Cafe and bought a pack of Yirg Coffee. In the last couple of pots that I’ve brewed, I’ve noticed that Yirg has a very Bailey’s Irish Cream taste without the whiskey kick (darn). This has got me into thinking that I should experiment with making my own BIC using Yirg and some kind of whiskey. If you have any suggestions on good whiskey (!Crown or !Johnny Walker), please let me know.

While I’m talking about whiskey, I was chatting with a coworker from Tennessee while out at Yuma and he was saying how he couldn’t wait to go home and smoke a cigar on his porch and sip on some Jack Daniels straight from the distillery. The fact that JD is bottled in Tennessee didn’t click with me right away, but when it did, I peppered my coworker with questions like where the distillery is located, how to get there from Nashville, when is it open, etc. Needless to say, if I have free time when I’m out visiting Vandy in December, I’ll be heading to Lynchburg to visit the distillery.

Stay tuned on how my home brewed BIC turns out and a report from JD.
