Comments on: AIR INFUSIONS: SMOKED RYE http://drinkdogma.com/air-infusions-smoked-rye/ Wed, 14 Mar 2012 21:38:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Christopher http://drinkdogma.com/air-infusions-smoked-rye/comment-page-1/#comment-1976 Christopher Wed, 03 Mar 2010 10:39:18 +0000 http://drinkdogma.com/air-infusions-smoked-rye/#comment-1976 I suppose it's an alternative way to make a cheaper scotch? I'd also be concerned with denaturing the flavors imparted to the original rye from the barrel, which are no doubt affected by the aromatics of the smoke (charred wood = charred wood) as well as air that I'm sure sneaks into that lil' tube, there. As far as this being a first, it very well could be...though I've had a botched bacon-bourbon old fashioned that tasted more like the charred greasy bits of a pan than actual bacon. Regardless, I don't think I can (or should) credit the establishment for inventing such a thing. Getting past all the nay-saying technical hooey - the most important question is obvious: how did it hold up in a (and in what) cocktail? I suppose it’s an alternative way to make a cheaper scotch?

Awesome treat to say the least. If I remember the name of the place it came from I will pass it along. I recall it started with conn.... , cheers I had the pleasure a few years back to recieve a bottle of Irish whisky (ey?)

I suppose though to keep this from happening even more, you could use a long air tube rolled up in a bath of ice.

More seriously, do you lose much of the rye to evaporation? Perhaps the smoke had cooled enough by the time it got through the tubing to the bottle.

I will get back to you though after we get the bar open. I know for sure some smoked cocktails are going to find their way on to our menu at some point of another.

A lot of BBQs use these, as well as the others. I would love to hear your side by side tastings of pecan vs. hickory vs. apple smoked rye! You also might try apple, hickory (as mentioned).
