    Filtered vs Unfiltered Whisky: You read it right, many a times on a whisky bottle label you would find these terms. So an unfiltered whisky is also known as non-chill filtered, meaning it has not been filtered once pulled out from barrel. So it’s said that when it’s chilled or diluted to reach it’s bottling proof, unfiltered whisky will have particles & takes on a cloudy hue. Thus, before dilution these whiskeys are filtered so that the whisky on the shelf looks clear and doesn’t get cloudy on dilution🥃
    .
    Well, on the other hand filtration gives a clear look to the whisky but also removes somes flavor. Whereas, unfiltered or non-chilled filtered whiskey are considered to be more flavourful and generally bottled at barrel strength or proof so that a small amount of chilling or infusing with a few drops of water will not make it cloudy. @pauljohnwhisky here carries a non-chilled filtered statement on the bottle label🥃

  • Anejo Chili Margarita

    By

    Anejo Chili Margarita

    Anejo Reserve 1800 Tequila : Made from 100%  Blue Agave, this tequila is aged for more than a year in French & American  Oak. It has a deep copper/amber colour & nice viscosity. Taste of agave & smoke. The smokiness, I felt is more of the burned pinas rather from the barrels. Pleasant Agave spiciness,  nutty & oaky, with hint of smoky vanilla. Smooth
    .
    With Anejo tequila around, it’s time to add some spice to the cocktail & relish like never before. Not recommended for faint hearted as we blend this drink with some red hot chili powder. Though Chipotle  chili powder recommended but I substituted with another brand.

    Ingredients
    Tequila – 45 ml @
    Orange liqueur – 25 ml
    Lime juice – 25 ml
    Sugar Syrup – 10 ml
    Chili powder – 1/2 tsp
    Salt & Chilli powder mix – to rim
    Lemon wedge – to garnish
    .
    Preparation Method

    Rim an old fashioned glass with a mixture of chili powder & salt.Drop a sugar cube and pour 5 ml of the Anejo tequila on it and let it soak.
    Combine the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, syrup & chilli powder in a mixing glass and shake it good with a few ice cubes. Strain it in the glass over fresh ice cubes. Stir. Garnish with lemon wedge.
    Enjoy this Spicy Red Hot Margarita

    Boston Sour

    Boston Sour is a fantastic drink with whiskey, lemon juice, sugar & egg white.
    .
    Minus the egg white, it’s the conventional Whiskey Sour.
    .
    And if you float full-bodied red wine to a whiskey sour concoction, then what you have is the New York Sour.

    Mine this evening is the Boston Sour.
    .

    Bourbon – 45 ml
    Fresh lemon juice – 20 ml Sugar syrup – 10 ml
    Egg white – 10 ml
    Cubed ice

    .
    Preparation Method

    Dry Shake all for 15 seconds & then shake it hard with ice for about 20 seconds to chill the liquid really well.
    Strain the mix into a old fashioned glass filled with ice and garnish with the strawberry and orange slice.

    Cheers!
