  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: The So the people down at Clearwater Distilling in Le Leon, Lehigh,
• 0:54
  Pleasant Grow, Pleasant Grow adjacent to Lehigh. They they've done
• 0:59
  something new with their cinnamon whiskey.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so the the popular scandalous that they use. They
• 1:06
  change the label to Canela and it's really great, sexy label. Great. Uh,
• 1:11
  same great whiskey. Just change the packaging for us, and uh,
• 1:16
  what I love about this cinnamon whiskey is there's no
• 1:19
  sugar added. It's not like a corn fruit toast based
• 1:22
  flavoring in it. So you got real cinnamon sticks that
• 1:25
  this whiskey is aging in and no sugar, no additives,
• 1:30
  and it's a cinnamon all day the time.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: You use it in a hot apple cider, then it's
• 1:37
  not too sweet.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: It just canela is a is a kind of cinnamon,
• 1:42
  isn't it?
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: Or I believe it is. It's well cinnamon and Spanish,
• 1:47
  and they've they've got I was looking at their website
• 1:50
  so I have a lot of fun with clear Water
• 1:53
  other range of spirits when in fact, this Sunday we're
• 1:56
  having our Cigar and Spirits tasting, so if you're interested
• 1:59
  in that at Clearwater two o'clock, we've got a ninety
• 2:03
  minute presentation on etiquette smoking as well as we craft
• 2:06
  cocktails from I think we're using their Wednesday Whiskey Batch
• 2:11
  number two. But but this cinnamon whiskey that's Candalius. I've
• 2:14
  made cocktails with this before and they've done a really
• 2:18
  fun job on their website. They're doing a churo shot.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Let's hear this.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Uh this is the Oh I like what they did here.
• 2:33
  So the cinnamon whiskey that we're talking about. Then their
• 2:36
  lorenz rum, so you're getting a little bit of a
• 2:39
  roundness going on there, and then horchata. Yes, finally right,
• 2:46
  shake a shake of shake. Oh that sounds that sounds
• 2:49
  like good Sunday morning right there.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: That sounds like it would be good warm as well
• 2:54
  as gold.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah you could. Yeah, yeah, the id like the cinnamon whiskey. Also,
• 3:00
  we've done it with the unfiltered apple juice. I like
• 3:04
  getting it like whole foods. You know, it's that kind component. Yeah,
• 3:08
  good stuff, and that cinnamon whiskey goes good with it too.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: I just looked up what is Mexican canela? The cinnamon
• 3:15
  mostly used in Mexican cuisine is called ceylon or canela
• 3:18
  in Spanish, and it is also known as true cinnamon.
• 3:22
  It is quite different from cassia, which is mostly found
• 3:25
  in US stores. However, as time moves on, one can
• 3:27
  find true cinnamon in an increasing number of stores. So
• 3:31
  canela is true cinema.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Well, when we had this before, we tried it, and
• 3:37
  that's what I liked about it was that it wasn't
• 3:39
  so sickeningly sweet. Yeah, where you get some of these
• 3:42
  cinnamon whiskeys like if your fireball and stuff like that.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Ye're a little too sweet. They got that it is.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they do a good job with it, just the
• 3:50
  right mix. Yeah that sounds like a good one for sure.
• 3:56
  But you know it's nice.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: To be able to use, especially with the I mean,
• 4:00
  this is just fall flavors coming out, right, So this
• 4:04
  is gonna make spice up a classic Manhattan for you.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: You're gonna be able to have a whiskey on the
• 4:11
  rocks or maybe a little bit of bitters with it.
• 4:13
  I mean, this is gonna be a fun a fun
• 4:15
  spirit for this next holiday season. I reckon it's twenty
• 4:18
  nine to ninety nine, so it's completely affordable. It's a
• 4:20
  thirty dollars bottle of whiskey, the Canal, the Cinnamon Whiskey Clearwater.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: It's only at Clearwater though, right.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: This labels at Clearwater. It's still listed under the scandalist
• 4:31
  label through the wine stores. So as soon as we
• 4:33
  start running through that inventory, then this will this will
• 4:37
  replace replace it now much nicer.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: All right, Let's see Wine Academy of Utah events coming up.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this Sunday, I'll be at Clearwater for that cigar
• 4:50

  Speaker 2: And the radio from Hew Whiskey Tour. It is sold
• 6:35
  out with Jimmy the wine Guy. But we want to
• 6:37
  thank High West Distillery and Sugarhouse Distillery, and Jimmy's gonna
• 6:40
  tell us some more about their lovely offerings right now.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: And if you have any questions for the magnanimous and
• 6:47
  beneficitent leader of the Wine Academy of U Dah, you
• 6:51
  can call us James Santangelo is here. Uh, you want
• 6:55
  to talk about these two?
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we have our two sponsors for the event tomorrow,
• 7:00
  Sugarhouse Distillery and High West. The Sugarhouse will take them
• 7:03
  one at a time. Sugarhouse was the first one I poured.
• 7:06
  Sugarhouse this is their American single malt. Now this is
• 7:09
  kind of a newer category in American whiskey. This is
• 7:12
  whenever you see the words American single malt or malt
• 7:17
  in on the labeling, that's gonna be barley grain and
• 7:21
  and barley's the primary grain we make Scotch outa, so
• 7:24
  this is kind of made in the tradition of a Scotch.
• 7:27
  We're malting the barley, but then we're aging for a
• 7:31
  number of years in brand new American oak barrels. I
• 7:34
  can put up to the camera. Look at the color
• 7:36
  that's extracted on this. You need years in a barrel
• 7:41
  in Scotland to get this kind of depth of color.
• 7:45
  This whiskey comes across on the on the nose, a
• 7:49
  lot of grain, a lot of biscuit. It's a lot
• 7:52
  of cereal, a lot of what biscuit biscuit, Uh, think
• 7:57
  of a bisc off cookie, you know, and it's just rarely.
• 8:02
  I was doing a tasting last night, a private gig,
• 8:04
  and people were blown away by the maltiness that was
• 8:08
  coming off of this.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: This would go good with a bisc.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: It certainly would. They're doing a fine job down there
• 8:16
  at Sugarhouse. They're there bourbon, their rye, their can cocktail program,
• 8:20
  and of course this American single malt available in the
• 8:23
  wine stores. Of course they do have a package store
• 8:25
  at the distillery. This Sugarhouse Distillery forty two forty two
• 8:30
  I don't want to miss quote forty forty six percent
• 8:33
  alcohol by volume or ninety two proof.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: All right, that's the first one.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: The next one is high West. This is their campfire.
• 8:41
  So this is a party.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Smell it right when, Yeah, it smells.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Like a camp It gets right to the nose. So
• 8:47
  this is a blend of you know, quintessential bourbon and rye.
• 8:51
  And then you get the smoky peatiness from another blend
• 8:55
  of whiskey that has pete in it. And nobody was
• 8:58
  really nobody does that. You know, nobody takes American whiskeys,
• 9:02
  blends it and gets it. And this is just such
• 9:04
  a fine job of doing that. There are whiskeys out
• 9:08
  there that do have peat to them that are smoked.
• 9:10
  But this High West campfire whiskey, I think just says
• 9:13
  it all in the name. When're you gonna have this
• 9:15
  around a campfire?
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: This is a sipper great and cocktails, and I haven't
• 9:21
  revisited them.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: I think i'd want that on the rocks. I'd want
• 9:24
  an ice cube in that. It's the first time I
• 9:28
  ever had. This was some years ago, and it's it's
• 9:31
  changed in its flavor profile.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: Isn't it softened up a little bit? Yeah, it softened
• 9:36
  up a little bit. I've got some bottlings in the
• 9:39
  office from years back that I think if when next
• 9:43
  time you're over, we can sample them. And this is
• 9:46
  batch number twenty four E twenty eight. So there's a
• 9:50
  code there with the batch numbers, right, there's a code.
• 9:53
  It's alpha in America's numbers and letters. But the twenty
• 9:56
  four is the year. So a batch is when that
• 9:59
  whiskey was married, blended and then put into this bottle.
• 10:02
  So it was put into this bottle. The batch date
• 10:04
  is twenty four, twenty twenty four. He represents the month,
• 10:07
  so A for January, B for fevour, and then the
• 10:09
  day the twenty eighth.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: So what is that?
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: What is.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Maybe May? Good job your fingers? So yeah, I use
• 10:22
  my fingers at the college. You can see May.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: But that's fun. That's just fun things about on High West.
• 10:31
  Here are two sponsors for the whiskey tour tomorrow. It's
• 10:35
  gonna be a lot of fun.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be great. Let's see. We got some questions,
• 10:38
  I know, and we got a couple.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll take we take phone calls to.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: If you hurry.
• 10:46

• 10:48

• 10:54

  Speaker 5: Yeah, higher proof than forty Yeah.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: And finally this, I'm forty five. I've never had any alcohol.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: We gave this question a lot, but it's worse for visit,
• 11:46
  good for you.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: But after recent events, I'm considering starting. What's something that's
• 11:51
  not too heavy that an amateur like me can enjoy?
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: All Yeah, so in the wine world, something soft and bubbly,
• 11:59
  maybe a little bit of off dryness to make it approachable.
• 12:02
  These are your Moscato diastes. Those are a lot of
• 12:05
  fun and uh they'll have a little fizz to it.
• 12:09
  It's carbonated, it's bubbly. It's a sparkling wine category, but
• 12:13
  it's off dry and it's lower alcohol. So moscato diasti.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: There you go, all right?
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Uh, well, we'll see you tomorrow, Jimmy, this is exciting
• 12:22
