#Caraway County

He eated a foob. . .

[flowermist7432]

Ive still been tryina get back into projects so like of course i was tryina work on THESE designs for Caraway County so far on the same canvas (always try to draw all your fellas on the same canvas to get a look at em all in the same place) but most responses I get are about the butch cow lady and how they want her/pos

and btw! random tip i realized. Do YOU wanna make a strong looking character? someone bigger than the rest and built? I have found that simply drawing a character wide and taller than the rest doesnt have the desired effect, and just makes em feel...scaled up? maybe not even "large" somehow. Well try shrinking the head, I lasso-tooled her noggin and suddenly she looks way better. (warning, big ramble in the tags LOL)

fermented cabbage in cyrodiil

Preserved cabbage is a staple condiment on the Cyrodiilic table. It all starts out basically the same: one head of shredded cabbage, a couple teaspoons of salt, a jar, and some time. Some households gain a reputation for their fabulous ferments and carve out an entire week to make big batches in tubs, and trade their excess brine to neighbors who want to jump-start their own.

preferences vary by individual, but each county has its own regional flavor specialty based on what grows there.

Leyawiin-- turmeric, ginger, clove, black pepper, shredded carrot

Bravil-- red cabbage in lieu of green, grated beets, sliced red onion

Cheydinhal-- fennel, caraway, mustard seed

Imperial City-- sumac, coriander, cumin, and parsley

Bruma-- grated horseradish, dill, garlic

Skingrad-- diced apple, fresh chopped jalapeño (or green bell for those who don't do spicy), green onions, oregano

Kvatch-- radishes, carrots, garlic, and bay

Anvil-- fermented chili paste, fish sauce, and thin strips of seaweed.

recipe notes below the cut

If you're new to lactofermentation there's a bazillion guides out there and I'm not going to bother writing one out, but I use big 2-quart jars and this type of lid. it's hard to fuck up. go ham on the spices and use sea salt.

I've made all of these and they're all good but the Skingrad one is my favorite. opt for a honeycrisp, fuji, or pink lady apple. if using seaweed for the Anvil version, I like arame the best.

American Whiskey Review #35, #36, #37 & #38 Indiana 5yr Rye (2017 Cadenhead's), Frey Ranch Straight Rye, New Riff B-i-B Rye, Kings County Distillery Empire Rye

I've managed to maintain a pretty consistent rye focus this summer, but being still pretty early days in my exploration of that style, this is the first time I've really sat with a few different bottles and drilled down into the separate characters as a side by side.

The reviews have been assembled over the past month, starting out as Frey Ranch vs Kings County, but as I spotted New Riff on my shelf, adding in another 100 proof 100% rye seemed to make sense. Of course, once I did that, how could I not add an MGP into the mix?

I figured these four were similar enough in some aspects (approximate age and ABV) for a decent comparison and contrast.

Indiana 5yr Rye Cadenhead's

I’m making the assumption that this bottle is MGP, but I haven’t heard anyone suggest it could be anything else and honestly, at this point, if I hear “Rye” and “Indiana” it’s the only name in my head. I’m also pretty sure it’s the 95/5 mashbill, but again, [Disclaimer] this is all gleamed from whisky chatter.

Between Cadenhead’s and SMWS, there have been a refreshing amount of decently priced, Independently Bottled American Whiskies on sale in the UK market in recent times. Makes a nice change.

_______

Category: Rye

Bottler: Cadenhead's (CA)

Series: Authentic Collection

Vintage: 2017

Bottled: Summer 2023

Age: 05 years old

Cask: Barrel

№ of bottles: 222

ABV: 55%

_______

**𝙽𝚘𝚜𝚎**: No idea if this is a thing, but unbaked rye sourdough? A lot of sweet and citric orange jellies where the sharpness overlaps with ethanol, that does eventually mellow. Wet cut grass, and also earthy caraway seed, with that earthiness veering slightly into brown cardboard. Lots of Log Cabin syrup brings the vanilla after sitting for a while.

**𝙿𝚊𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚎**: Honeycomb toffee dissolves into orange squash and sunflower oil. I get fennel, but it’s the green bits up top.

**𝙵𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚑**: Finely ground black pepper brings tight tannins that quickly melt and relax into buttercream with a herbal flush of fresh peppermint and curly parsley. The barrel char shows some coffee-bean acidity, but manages to stay on the right side of bitter.

_______

**𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚜**: Easy sipping and not too aggressive for its ABV, nice texture and a measured spice. This has all the herbal green notes that I know can be a bit divisive in the world of Rye, but I thought it all worked together.

The palate was quite basic but was also my favourite bit. The oily orange and crunchy sugar combo is a winner made just that little bit more interesting by the fennel shoots.

Solid MGP at a price that doesn’t sting. If you like MGP (like I do), then I doubt this would disappoint.

Hats off Cadenhead’s. Keep em coming.

Frey Ranch Straight Rye

This was catnip for me. As a grain nerd, I'm a sucker for a good farm to glass story, and Frey Ranch spins a nice tale of Colby and Ashley: 5th generation farmers going their own way to create a 100% winter rye from their 1500-acre farm 4000 ft above sea level (which is still somehow the lowlands) in Fallon, Nevada.

If you’re curious about what “winter rye” means, it’s what it sounds like - rye sown in September - October that grows throughout the winter season and is harvested in spring.

It also has to be said, the Frey Ranch bottles are pretty sweet. Chunky AF. Really nailed the visual branding there.

_______

Category: Rye

Distillery: Frey Ranch

Mashbill: 100% Winter Rye

Age: 6 years

Cask: New charred oak

Batch №: 9

ABV: 50%

_______

**𝙽𝚘𝚜𝚎**: Cinnamon-spiced cherrywood meets Crème brûlée, Hot Cross Buns and Cointreau-enriched vanilla Coke.

**𝙿𝚊𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚎**: Lightly grassy on the approach, but becoming denser honey-butter, and rich, brown sugar-dusted rice pudding that’s almost but not quite cut by red berry coulis. A generous shake of white pepper and chilli flakes brings some heat and dryness.

**𝙵𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚑**: Barrel char pipes up as tannic cocoa solids and burnt sugars, but any astringency is deftly countered by the slick texture of corn oil, rising malty Ovaltine and sugar cookie dough. At the very end, cool green dill and spearmint face off against buzzing Szechuan and cardamom.

_______

**𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚜**: At 6 years old, this is possibly the oldest bottle in the review.

It has quite a sweet palate but it's offset by the spice and bitter notes that give it a good amount of crowd-pleasing depth.

Usually I get the rye-dough notes in the nose, but here, it arrived almost at the very end in conjunction with malty tones and slick corn oil. With that and the spicy coolness, it left me consistently in a place of wanting more.

Well adjusted and nicely put together. I’d love to hear more about Frey Ranches production, especially around mashing and fermentation.

I went out on a limb to buy this bottle without due diligence in researching, but I am 100% happy with my purchase.

New Riff Bottled-in-Bond Rye

𝙿𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚋𝚕𝚎: Before this, I knew New Riff by reputation only. A relative newcomer, from their distillery in Newport Kentucky, they've made a name putting out whisky presented at a baseline of Bottled-in-Bond stats or better. Not too shabby.

Also worth a note, Larry Ebersold, of Seagrams/MGP fame was heavily involved as a consultant in the early days.

Larry created the 95/5 rye/malted barley mashbill, and is one of the people credited with really getting a handle on dealing with the famously difficult grain.

New Riff has tweaked the recipe further by swapping out the 5% malted barley for malted rye.

_______

Category: Rye

Distillery: New Riff Distilling

Region: Kentucky

Bottler: Distillery Bottling

Series: Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey - Bottled in Bond

Vintage: 2017

Bottled: 2021

Mashbill: 95% rye/5% malted rye

Age: 4 years

ABV: 50%

_______

**𝙽𝚘𝚜𝚎**: Sweet and tart Dried cherries and cranberries, with chocolate orange following closely. The chocolate has a bit of carob to it, and there's a tiny bit of fresh green herbs that reads like tarragon to me. Vanilla ramps up as cream soda, and the oak registers as dusty nutmeg. I get a little solvent with it too, like freshly stained wood and there's a powdery mint quality like newly unwrapped Doublemint gum.

**𝙿𝚊𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚎**: Sweet, herbal and fruity, with the cream soda from the nose joined by a fair bit of artificial cherry and Chicory leaves balancing the sweet with bitterness. Dry cinnamon gets bolstered by a couple twists of cracked pepper and crushed chillies

**𝙵𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚑**:Dark Chocolate covered morello cherries get a red fruit signal boost by way of raspberry coulis, couched in browned butter. The chocolate recedes to clearer wood char but spearmint keeps it sweet and coolly, herbaceously menthol.

_______

**𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚜**: I expected to like this, but it was still surprising how much it ended up connecting. The New Riff is quite sweet, but red berries and chocolate together, was hard not to love.

I wonder how else their production differs from MGP? I would be surprised if that 5% barley/rye switch alone was responsible.

Great stuff. Fun and sippable, but with a good amount of individual character - the extra berryness of it all jussst gave it the edge against the Frey Ranch.

Kings County Empire Rye

I already know Kings County from a previous review of their BiB bourbon, where I may have overscored it, but also undoubtedly enjoyed it.

On the strength of that, and the perfect amount of a gift card, I picked up another 200ml glass flask of theirs, which this time is their Empire Rye.

The “Empire” designation meant nothing to me, but luckily I didn't have to dig too deep to find out that is a not-quite-legal definition stating that to sport that label, the whisky in question would need to be 75% New York grain, distilled to 160 proof or less, and aged for a minimum of two years in charred, virgin oak at maximum filling strength of 115 proof.

I haven’t been able to verify the ages of the liquid that went into this particular batch, but it seems to change between each one. Could have a combination of various ages up to 6 years.

_______

Category: Rye

Distillery: Kings County Distillery

Region: New York

Bottler: Distillery Bottling

Series: Straight Rye Whiskey

Mashbill: 80% NY Danko rye /20% English malted barley.

Age: 2y>

ABV: 51.0%

_______

**𝙽𝚘𝚜𝚎**: Chocolate covered, brandy soaked cherries and maple sugar flapjacks bring a mix of fruit and grains - all quite dark and decadent. I got more forward sarsaparilla than vanilla, but it is still there as a backdrop of buttery waffles that exists alongside damp pine.

**𝙿𝚊𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚎**: Another oily and slightly grassy approach, but much less green here. Crème brulee skews towards dense dairy and toasted sugars but it keeps getting earthier, becoming dark chocolate kahlua cake and quite sticky on the teeth. Malty too. There's an overlap with that and the tannins, which makes me think of Ovaltine and red wine mixed together. In a good way.

**𝙵𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚑**: Rounded molasses rye bread and wet charred wood charged by electrostatic Szechuan tingles and eucalyptus. A bit salty and mineral in the tail, like buttery pebbles, and with the eucalyptus evolving into fresh peppermint leaves as the heat fades.

_______

**𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚜**: These were all good, but this was my favourite.

It's the least sweet and the most rounded to my tastes, incorporating a bit of salt and dark molasses that I really liked.

It's lucky these smaller bottles exist because otherwise, at the price KC sits at, I might have let it pass me by.

I have a feeling that my love of scotch means that the 20% malted barley may be what makes the difference here.

I love the idea of 100% ryes, but my history with single malt has likely molded my palate towards a preference of having barley in the mashbill.

GRIANSTAD AN GHEIMHRIDH / WINTER SOLSTICE

Despite little evidence that the winter solstice was celebrated in the Gaelic nations, cultural syncretism with the Norse festival of Yule (especially in Scotland), and later the Christian festival of Christmas, has lead to this time of year nonetheless maintaining a number of festive traditions. Among these are the baking of bannock and the making of cheese flavored with caraway - called Yule kebbuck - and decorating the house with winter greenery, although seaweed may be the decoration of choice near the coast. A massive log of wood, called the Cailleach Nollaich (Christmas Old Wife), is set ablaze and intended to burn for the entire night, as a clear influence from the Norse Yule Log tradition. In some places, all the windows were also lit with candles throughout the night. While the Gaels may not have observed the solstice itself, it appears that the pre-Gaelic Neolithic peoples saw it as a day of great significance. Both the Brú Na Bóinne in County Meath, and Maeshowe in Orkney, two massive structures built by these peoples thousands of years ago, align with the solstice sun in such a way that the light shines directly through the entranceways and illuminate the entire interior on this day. This piece features evergreen boughs, yule kebbuck and bannock, and burning Cailleach logs, with a row of candles on either side. In the center is a carved dolmen framing a winter scene and illuminated by the sun, to represent the Neolithic structures built to align with the solstice.
