Chapter 37 The top of the whisky, the standard in the wine cabinet

Lou Shang is not afraid that a girl will scold him, but he is afraid that the girl will scold and cry.

It's as if he bullied her.

"Peat, it's really a whisky flavor that's trending right now. ”

Peat isn't your sister, master, he really didn't want to scold the ambassador.

Hearing Lou Shang admit his "ignorance", Wenyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his chest no longer rose and fell so much.

Like a "villain", there is a sense of "you know and admit it", but it is cute and cute.

The two extremely contradictory temperaments have been perfectly unified in the body of the Luo Demon Girl.

She, a health punk, was originally born for contradictions.

Literature has come to the side of literature and art.

As a "business partner" who has cooperated for five years, although he is not particularly familiar with literature, his understanding of the tongue of the wine country is definitely more in-depth than that of literature and art.

The national gentleman knew that Master Lou Shang expressed his willingness to refuse at this time, and it must not be based on the reason that the literary brain made up.

My sister was angry, and he couldn't stop it.

But if the ambassador is so angry that he wants to hit the master or something, literature still has enough reflexes to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.

Fortunately, things didn't go in the "worst direction".

Master Lou Shang watched the cultural ambassador's mood stabilize, and then spoke again in a clear tone that seemed to come from outside the sky and as if he had crossed the ocean: "For me, popularity does not mean that the essence of whisky is popular, and it does not mean that everyone must follow." ”

Lou Shang ignored the literary temper and provocative tone, and began to taste spirits other than Chinese baijiu in an extremely rare way:

"This grain whisky has a vintage golden color. ”

"Blends the creamy vanilla sweetness of cereals with waxy citrus base notes, accompanied by floral and tropical fruit notes. ”

"The refill resonates with the re-roasted European sherry oak barrels and the body. ”

"The wine is complex, clean, and rich. ”

"In the mouth, the taste is intense, with a soft, sweet and creamy flavor that progresses over the palate. ”

"Aged grains bring a delicate and light flavour that begins with sweetness and then dryness, leaving a spicy finish on the palate. ”

"This aged whisky is not a popular single malt whisky, but a rare blended grain Scotch whisky. ”

"It's not popular, it has its own essence, its own soul. ”

Wenyi was a little dumbfounded, she could understand every word Lou Shang said, but when combined together, she couldn't say anything.

He thinks that he has a talent for language, and he is a first-class cultural ambassador, and he will never be able to combine such a "simple and unpretentious" tasting language as Master Lou Shang.

As soon as the connoisseur speaks, he will know if there is one, and he is simply not too professional!

A strange thought flashed in Lori's heart: [It is said that the confession should be made as soon as possible, fortunately!

But but, but.

Is there something wrong?

With so many compliments, how did it turn into unacceptable flavors and unwilling whiskies?

Could it be that the master upstairs also wants to contradict himself in order to obtain the qualification to join the Punk Association?

Isn't that a little too much of an exaggeration? Two o'clock and three o'clock?......

The two co-founders were waiting for his tasting results on the spot, so why was it so troublesome to want to join?

The ambassador of wine culture, who has not been touched by wine, opens a drunken brain hole without warning.

The ambassador liked the master even more, and he was more puzzled and angry.

Could it be that I am afraid that a good wine will steal the limelight of the first "live broadcast in person"?

The brain hole of the wine culture ambassador is gone forever on the road of drunkenness.

Fortunately, the brain hole is a very private existence, as long as the literature and art are not said, they can be taken out.

"A bottle of peated whisky that has been baptized for fifty years is unlikely to be difficult to swallow. But it's not necessarily the best form of whisky. In my opinion, the rich smoky taste of the sea upsets the original balance of the bottle and affects the expression of the wine. ”

After Lou Shang finished talking about the reason why he couldn't appreciate the strong peat flavor, he took it very seriously to the owner of this peated whiskey.

Compared with the literature and art that says that the wind is rain, and there is no wind and it does not necessarily rain, Lou Shang hopes to get the understanding of the actual holder of the fifth summer.

Lou Shang explained to Fifth Xia why he had to refuse at this stage: "This is not the whisky that was contaminated by disinfectant water before. Previously hidden beneath the volatility of sodium subornate, there is a malt whisky with no peat taste. Until I can truly appreciate the peat flavor, I don't make a recommendation against my heart because of its popularity. ”

Peat is the "top pairing" of Scotch whisky, and it is also the standard in the whisky "gourmet" wine cabinet.

Whisky drinkers can't appreciate peat, just like fruit eaters can't appreciate durian.

Durian enthusiasts will question: You don't eat durian? That's the king of fruits!

The reason why Lou Shang refused to make a promotion before the start of the Shang Xiaoxiao press conference tomorrow was not because he felt that the family whisky of the fifth summer was not good.

I don't want to taste a bottle of whisky that is very characteristic of Islay in Scotland at this stage when I can't appreciate it.

The smell of peat and disinfectant water have the same "wonderful" flavor.

It's not disinfectant, it's better than disinfectant.

Lou Shang, who had just been "murdered for money" by whiskey mixed with disinfectant water, is indeed a little more than willing to peat.

Master Lou Shang didn't want to break his word and get fat, and he didn't know anything about whisky, as the cultural ambassador thought.

In fact, Chinese baijiu and Scotch whisky, although they are two completely different categories, also have a lot in common.

The biggest difference between baijiu and whiskey is that in the brewing process, baijiu uses koji and whisky uses yeast.

The difference in fermentation methods is the biggest difference between baijiu and whisky, accounting for much more than the difference between baijiu and whisky in oak barrels.

However, apart from the differences, there is more to remain, and it is all about the commonalities.

Lou Shang is a very talented and hard-working winemaker, who has tried to make baijiu from yeast instead of koji, and has also tried to age the brewed baijiu in roasted oak barrels.

Lou Shangneng was selected by Fan Lao to be the last apprentice, and then inherited the mantle of the wine country god, which was recommended by Qiu Yu, the dean of the college where he studied winemaking engineering before he dropped out.

Qiu Yu was the first to discover Lou Shang's talent for brewing.

Lou Shang once studied a major known as the cradle of winemakers, training at least 40% of the winemakers in major wineries in China.

In the current era of globalization, there are many world-renowned wineries that are here to grab people.

Dean Qiu did not just recommend his proud protΓ©gΓ© to Fan Lao alone, but recommended it to everyone, in his opinion, who could afford to be a genius in the future.

Qiu Yu's support for Lou Shang did not change because Lou Shang chose to drop out.

In the world of winemakers, a diploma is less important than a real skill.

Lou Shang has always been much better than he realized, so good that his classmates of the same age, even a small number of teachers in the school, could not understand Lou Shang's winemaking thinking.

Dean Qiu's ability to "plant grass" is not ordinary, and Lou Shang is really competitive.

When Lou Shang chose to drop out of school for personal reasons, the world's three major spirits and wine groups - Diageo, Pernod Ricard, and Bacardi all threw olive branches to him.

It seems that starting a career as a "winemaking apprentice" with any of the world's three major wine groups is better than following Fan Lao to an isolated wine cellar, but Lou Shang has no regrets about his choice.

He was glad.

Because it is impossible for any large group to give the winemaker apprentice the care of an elder and a place like home.

Master Lou Shang, who has practiced through the Ming Dynasty, is not ignorant of whiskey, but there is no way to promote a flavor that he himself will not appreciate at all in the live broadcast that will start tomorrow.

The refusal at this moment is to find a more opportune moment to wait until he can truly appreciate, or at least not reject the peaty flavor of whisky, and then make a better and more effective individual recommendation.

In just two days, this is the second time that the cultural ambassador has imposed the title of "selling fame and reputation" on the head of Master Lou Shang.

She is such a coquettish Lori, how can she make mistakes for two days in a row?

Or every time, they add mistakes to each other.

Crazy Lori was originally a little bit popular.

The coquettish enchantress originally had a lost and confused heart.

But her mood has never fluctuated like this in the past two days.

Obviously thinking about inserting a knife in Xia Xia's ribs, how did it become a knife in Xia Xia's two ribs?

Wenyi didn't know what was wrong with her, she didn't want to be embarrassed and didn't want to cry.

However, what to do, the tears are about to fall on their own without being obedient at all.

How could she be purple? first lied and deceived Xia Xia from Scotland, and then she messed things up.
