Ok, I'll bite. Anyone else irritated by such claims?
"Gin made from 5000 year old pine needles, from the clock site itself!"
"The first is an aromatic gin made with juniper berries harvested by hand among the 5,000-year-old bristlecones from our site in eastern Nevada."
"The other spirit is a whiskey made from a tailored selection of grains, fermented and distilled in such a way that it will be delicious without aging, while growing more intricate and complex every year. "
5000 year old pine needles? Uh, I don't think the aromatics are going be very good after 5000 years. I'd rather use the dried up needles under my pine tree out front. Yet I would never even consider it.
Juniper berries from 5000 year year old Bristlecone pines? Don't think so, juniper berries grow on Juniper bushes!!
And a white dog that happens to be better than anyone else's and needs no aging….
I'm tired of people claiming things about their liquor that are not right/true just because they can. I went to a distilling event in Portland a month ago and tasted a rum that was awful. I asked what kind of molasses they used and was told that there was none. Instead, I was proudly told they used 'pure Hawaiian sugar'!!!! They distilled a sugar wash are were selling it to the public as a premium rum (for a premium price I might add). This was a not-so-small Oregon distillery.... I will never buy any of their products after that claim.
