Getting typical roasted taiwanese oolong flavors, but also a lot of something like menthol or camphor, minerals and a fruitiness like cherry or plum. I'm really enjoying this first session.⬆↩

never understood the point of rolling tuna in seeds and the pretending to sear it through the seeds+ 1

⬆ upvote 0 ↩ reply 1

What pretending? It does sear it through the seeds. You're serving it rare so you're not searing it much at all anyway and it toasts them and opens a new flavor dimension. In this case I pretty much burned them, but in a good way like blackening. And the seasoning is extremely salty. But it all just permeates the first few millimeters in. It works well against the kimchi and the sweet shallot, garlic, and mushrooms. The whole dish tastes great. I'd do it again.+

I went on a distillery tour at a local place the other day, and they let me try some of their new make spirit. It was genuinely some of the best grain-based spirit I've ever had, and they don't even sell it. Why the hell aren't unaged (technically not) whiskeys a thing? Is it really just because of those laws the UK had that mandated minimum aging times that don't even apply to the US? Basically every other type of spirit understands that their stuff can taste fantastic unaged (see: tequila, rum, etc) and whiskey specifically has a bunch of really interesting aspects to it at the front that you just never taste because they're covered up by oak. I remember wondering this a while ago before I'd even tried it myself and all the answers that I saw online were like "yeah you don't see it because it'd taste awful" and those redditors were absolutely fucking lying.+ 1

New make is shit. You mention other spirits but it’s also true there, with the exception of tequila which is the only good unadulterated un-aged spirit (when done well). Gin doesn’t count because it’s adulterated The thing is, you can probably make new make good but at that point it would be expensive. You’d had to do really narrow cuts at the very heart of the distillate. Which is a waste to use for new make+

>Don't I need filtration? Basically it depends on whether your leaves can get overbrewed or not. For example most green teas absolutely will get bitter and nasty after a while, so you need some way to get them out. Also using water below boiling somehow makes leaves float more, which again means for green teas brewed at 80*C or so leaving them in the cup is impractical. Most decent black teas, and most dark teas (puerh etc.), are completely fine sitting at the bottom of your cup for half an hou…+
