78, the flame of holy light
The twice-distilled spirit is very spicy and has a lot of staying power.
Not long after the butler Henry drank the strong drink, he burped and his face turned red.
So Henry praised: "The dwarf liquor is indeed well-deserved, and drinking it is really unforgettable! Lord, should we give this kind of liquor a name? We can't call it a dwarf liquor bar!"
"Name? Do you have any good ideas?"
"Um..." Henry, the butler, was a little speechless for a moment. In fact, he was not very good at naming names.
After a long while, Henry said: "How about calling it 'River Beach Spirits'!"
Hearing Henry's words, Tom, who was controlling the fire with a stick next to him, shook his hand, and the stick in his hand almost fell to the ground. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he almost laughed.
Sean couldn't help but hold up his forehead: "What are all the names you have come up with? Can't they be more high-end and grand?"
The name of the product must be high-end so that it can be sold at a high price. This is an eternal truth in marketing.
Just like coffee, the essence of coffee is soy milk made from grinding and roasting coffee beans, but its price is 40 times higher than a cup of soy milk that costs one yuan on the roadside, which has a lot to do with the foreign name "coffee".
Since spirits are also a high-end consumer product, they definitely cannot be given a down-to-earth name like "Hetan Spirits", but should be a bit more noble.
"Sorry, Lord, I'm not very good at naming names." Henry, the butler, blushed slightly.
"As for the name of the liquor, let me tell you..." Sean took two steps back and forth in the room: "If you have it, let's call it 'Holy Light and Flame'! The meaning of 'Holy Light' is to obtain the God of Light.
This kind of spirit was created based on the guidance of the spirit. 'Fire' refers to the intensity of the spirit itself. What do you think, Henry?"
"Holy Light and Flame?"
Henry savored the name and his eyes lit up: "This is such a good name! My lord, you are worthy of being born in the royal family, you are so knowledgeable and talented!
With such a good name, we should be able to make a lot of money from the dwarves! But unfortunately, the wine we brought back to the territory this time is not much, and we may not be able to make a lot of spirits."
"Yeah, we only brought back 30 barrels of ale this time." Sean also sighed.
Sean calculated the loss ratio and found that the alcohol concentration of the ale he bought was about ten degrees. If all 30 barrels of ale were distilled into 53-degree spirits, at most six or seven barrels would be distilled. If you want to get more
For spirits, we need to think of other ways.
"By the way Henry, did Viscount Lake have any wine in his store?" Sean suddenly asked.
All major nobles have wine cellars, and Viscount Lake must be no exception. If Viscount Lake still has some wine, he might be able to use it.
The butler Henry thought for a while and said: "Of course, they are all in the wine cellar. But they are all very expensive wines. Except for some that have gone sour, the others are no less valuable than dwarf spirits. When distilled
Such a waste."
"How much are these sour wines?" Sean's eyes lit up.
If I remember correctly, sour wine can also be turned into spirits through distillation. After all, the principles are the same, but the taste may be a little different after distillation.
"I went to the wine cellar to check last night. There were about 30 barrels. After all, it has been almost half a year since the Lord... Viscount River went to the front line." Henry said, and his originally excited expression became disappointed.
Sean saw Henry's inner thoughts, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "People can't be resurrected, so look at it. Henry, go to the wine cellar and bring a barrel of sour wine. The wine is sour."
It can also be distilled into spirits.”
"No, can sour wine be distilled?" Henry, the butler, looked at Sean suspiciously.
The God of Light actually told the Lord such details. Could it be said that the Lord is the illegitimate son of the God of Light?
"Stop talking nonsense! Can't you just bring a bucket and try it?" Sean glared at Henry.
"Okay, I'll move it right away!" Henry said goodbye to Sean and left the mill without saying anything.
Butler Henry returned to the castle and directed the servants to bring back a barrel of sour-smelling ale from the wine cellar.
Sean continued to stay in the room where spirits were distilled, teaching Tom and the children how to control the fire, at what point the distillation should stop, and what intensity the finished product should reach.
Although these children come from the slums, they are all smart children who can survive and grow up in the slums. They also learned from the conversation between Sean and the butler Henry how important liquor is to the territory, so they studied extremely seriously.
.
Sean was very satisfied with the children's enthusiasm for learning and promised to increase their salaries in the future if they did well.
...
After a while, Henry directed two servants to move a barrel of wine in front of Sean: "Lord, this is the sour ale you want."
Henry directed the two servants to put down the wine barrels, and then asked them to return to the castle.
Sean got close to the barrel and smelled it. It basically still smelled like ale, but there was also a faint smell of vinegar.
So Sean said to the children: "Tom, pour out the pot of wine and replace it with the wine in the barrel."
"Okay, Lord." The children poured the distilled wine back into the original barrel, and then poured all the sour ale into the pot.
With the distillation, the vapor of these sour ales also condensed in the bamboo tubes and turned into spirits.
Henry, the butler, didn't wait for Sean's instructions this time and directly took a cup with a cup and handed it to Sean.
Sean took a sip. The taste was slightly different from the last distilled spirit, but if you didn't distinguish it carefully, you couldn't tell the difference. After all, the main body of the distillation was wine, not vinegar.
"Basically there is no difference, Henry. Spicy wine can also be made into spirits."
The butler Henry was overjoyed when he heard Sean's words: "There should be a lot of sour ale in the town's taverns. We can buy them and distill them, so that we can make more spirits."
Sean nodded: "Henry, after reading so much, you must have learned about making spirits, right?"
"Of course I learned it."
"Okay, then I'll leave first. I'll leave this place to you. You can make more spirits now and seal them in small barrels. I will bring these spirits to Jon in a few days.
Go to town." Sean said.
