AndyHOST
So basically to strip it down to the basics.
AndyHOST
It's a big drink that you make and you can make it using, if you want to, Armagnac, organic oranges, organic lemon, organic sugar, vanilla and a vanilla pod.
AndyHOST
So it's kind of a liqueur, it's kind of a thing rather than a cocktail.
AndyHOST
But I wanted to mention that because I liked the name a lot and I liked the fact it was European.
Jake NorrisGUEST
And then down the road, I've got a cognac.
Jake NorrisGUEST
I've got an Armagnac.
Jake NorrisGUEST
I've got an American rum.
Jake NorrisGUEST
I've got a Tokaj, which is a Hungarian dessert wine.
Lorrie GrahamGUEST
And we had this 10 days where we're on this plane and all the KGB were down the back of the plane with us, Sally and I.
Lorrie GrahamGUEST
And we went to Georgia, and we went to things like Armagnac tastings, and we had a little too much Armagnac.
speaker_0HOST
[laughs]
Lorrie GrahamGUEST
And we'd be staying in the official residences.
John MerrimanHOST
One was the Isère, uh, in, which is Grenoble's department.
John MerrimanHOST
One is, uh, the Gers, famous for its foie gras, uh, and its Armagnac, too, at least in part.
John MerrimanHOST
Uh, and, uh, the other was the Orme, which is a Norman department, uh, in the west, the capital of which is Alençon.
John MerrimanHOST
And what he, uh, was more interested in is how the message got out to very ordinary people living in those places.
Isaac HohlbacherGUEST
The idea that you can take something that's already really fantastic and, you know, ready to release in the world.
Isaac HohlbacherGUEST
And, you know, sometimes, not always, but sometimes, you know, he says, okay, that needs to go into a, you know, Armagnac cask or that needs to have some Japanese Mizunara oak thrown on there.
Isaac HohlbacherGUEST
And it takes it, you know, from this already fantastic place to the next level.
Isaac HohlbacherGUEST
God dear.
Jim ShannonHOST
Wow.
Todd RitterHOST
So, so those components were then finished in Armagnac, cognac, rum, tawny port, and cherry casks.
Jim ShannonHOST
Wow.
Todd RitterHOST
So-

Todd RitterHOST
The first pour we had was a Short Barrel Cigar batch number four.
Todd RitterHOST
That's 107 proof.
Todd RitterHOST
That was, uh, a blend of Indiana and Kentucky whiskeys finished in Armagnac, Cognac, rum, sherry, and Tawny Port.
Todd RitterHOST
We followed that up with Redwood Empire's The Hyperion, which is a blend of bourbon, rye, wheat, and single malt whiskeys.
George Dalla CiaGUEST
This is not a cognac.
George Dalla CiaGUEST
It's not an Armagnac, but it has a lot of similarity, but it's got that grappa characteristic.
George Dalla CiaGUEST
And so I said to him, do you remember nine years ago when you said, no, it's not a good idea? I said, This is it.
George Dalla CiaGUEST
This is the result.
John MerrimanHOST
We were faced with the fact that the school was going to be either grouped with another village, a detested rival, or be shut down.
John MerrimanHOST
So, what are our kids supposed to do? Where are they supposed to go to school? And one day we were convoked to the town hall, to the mairie, by our school teacher, and most of our parents' meetings with the school teacher ended with a bottle of Armagnac, I'm pleased to say, and we were all dear friends.
John MerrimanHOST
Even the people that you're not dear friends with you got along with fine.
John MerrimanHOST
But remember what I said about the role of the school.
Mark GregoirePANELIST
It's 60% rye.
Mark GregoirePANELIST
It's 30% Cavados and 10% blend of Armagnac, $67.
Mark GregoirePANELIST
And the other glass we have from Hennessy distilled in Texas, a finished rye whiskey, non-age stated, 88 proof.
Mark GregoirePANELIST
It's 51% rye and 49% malted barley finished with sherry casks.
Cody MillsHOST
Um-
Garrett WelchHOST
They, a lot of them are m- are blended with, like, Armagnac cask finishes-
Cody MillsHOST
Yep
Garrett WelchHOST
... or, you know, something that goes really well with a cigar.
Garrett WelchHOST
Amontillado is kind of a newer one recently.
Cody MillsHOST
Yeah.
Cody MillsHOST
I prefer the cognac and Armagnac kind of blends.
Garrett WelchHOST
Yeah.
