Product Information

Winiak – brandy, cydr – cider, miód pitny – mead (literally meaning “drinkable honey”), as well as a flat decanter bottle with a large hand-written note attached to its neck:“ Kastanowy 2017 ”.

Set a fine-mesh strainer over the liquid-measuring cup and strain the mixture, discarding the chestnuts. On a good day I can fill a couple of pockets, but mostly it will take a week to find enough to do anything with.My curiosity was piqued at his “more as well” — an enigmatic hint as to what would follow that night. The chestnuts themselves taste rather splendid and you can take them out and eat them after a few weeks. With Thanksgiving upon us and then Christmas around the corner, this is the right time to make this liqueur as a gift for friends! We had recently moved to our new homestead, which we had purchased sight unseen, and discovered that the large trees we had spotted in the picture were indeed chestnuts. They are fine but do not compare with the rounded flavour of sweet chestnuts that you have prepared yourself.

You could also give the white wine-Chestnut liqueur drink a go, which is made up of 1/5 Briottet Chestnut liqueur and 4/5 dry white wine. Fiona Nevile on Fiona’s traditional elderflower cordial recipe Hi Peta, Yes it does ferment a little = that is what you want. It’s very frustrating if you have bought a batch with a few bad ones as you can’t tell the state of the kernel within from the external appearance of the nut. Try a splash in a classic whiskey cocktail or in a mixed drink with ginger beer or ale, enjoy the spirit on its own, or drizzle it over cake or ice cream. I had never heard of kastanowy , but the smell of fresh nuts, vanilla, and subtle spice was enough to get my attention.I met the groundskeeper — regrettably I cannot remember his name — a wonderful, elderly man who spent a quiet life of solitude and prayer on the property.

These fleeting moments of alignment between heaven and earth can be as mystifying as they are humorous. Using 2–3 large metal binder clips, attach the plastic bags to the side of the pot, ensuring that the liquid inside the bags is completely submerged without allowing the bags to touch the bottom of the pot.Subsequently, properly observed maceration with very pure neutral alcohol, and blending with the correct proportion of sugars to achieve the balance between fruit flavour, sweetness, acidity and alcohol create these excellent crèmes and liqueurs.

Delightful neat (though it is quite sweet), it's also fabulous mixed - try it 1:4 with a sparkling wine, with a touch of grated nutmeg. If you run out of puff remember that you can freeze shelled or unshelled chestnuts and come back to them another time.
