Dream Life

Tria history March 10, 2018.

He is attached to an inspection of Viscotch's vault of Viscotch, Viscount Ignacious Radford, the nominee of the Marquis of Seawell, a senior aristocrat of the Caerm Empire.

Scott, the distillation manager, gave a brief explanation and decided to move on to tasting the Zach collection.

"Let's have a look at the taste of what we were just preparing," he said to Scott, who was holding back beside him, with a slightly surprising look on his face. But immediately, he says, "Okay," and leads us to the back of the vault.

The small room behind the reservoir is lined with bottles for blending confirmation - clear glass bottles with notes with various information on them - and contains liquor with a lot of character, from light amber to tar-like black liquids. But we didn't go to the bottle, we approached the barrel we had left behind.

The Viscount had a surprising soliloquy in his mouth about "Is this“ that ”Zach collection" in a suspiciously colored liquid.

I pointed to the bottle and said, "This is the original liquor from the Zach collection. Sometimes they ship as they go, but sometimes they mix (vat) a few different kinds together," he replied, pointing to the barrel of interest, "You'll see the flavor later, but first the stuff from that barrel over there".

There was a hogs-head barrel about twice the size - just over two hundred litres - instead of a quarter-barrel for three years of aging. The surface of the barrel is slightly blackened with dust because it has been stored for a long time.

The Viscount said, "What's this?," he questioned.

"This is a decade-long brandy. This is distilled wine made from grapes."

This time I heard that a Seawell family minister was going to visit the village of Rasmore, and I thought about what they were going to ask for. The Seawell family is famous for producing fine wines, but they don't have industrial-like industries other than agriculture. So as a new specialty, he thought about the production of distilled liquor and thought he had come to inspect the distillation technology in the village of Rasmore.

With that in mind, a marl type brandy made from the squeeze of wine is ideal for the Seawell family. Apart from feeding livestock, squeezing, which is a raw material, is rarely available. Brandy thought this would be a good match for the Seawell family.

The barrel to be tasted is to be sent to Ars as is, and there is no plan to refill the stainless steel tank, but confirmation of quality confirms the taste. Brandy still young, with a pointy feel, but not bad for the taste.

"It's a way of making it, but it extracts alcohol (alcohol) because it squeezes wine, …"

When Scott started explaining, the two civilians desperately began to take notes.

One of the clerks says Ridley Sutherland, a man in his mid-thirties who feels like a clerk with glasses on his fair face. This time it is the representative of the civil servants, which makes it the most edible way to make distilled liquor.

The other clerk was a mid twenties man named Bernard Dalungton, with a neat face, but little change of expression, and from time to time, his first impression was of a ruthless official. When I talked to him later, he didn't feel cold, he was just careful not to miss a word with a serious personality.

With the two clerks sidelined, I stood next to the Viscount and said, "If you make it from the wines of the Seawell family, you should be able to have a great brandy. Hopefully, maturation may not be necessary," he whispered. In that whisper, the Viscount turns to me like Gabba, "Is it serious" and makes my eyes shine.

The image in me is Italian brandy, "Grappa”.

The first thing I learned about the Seawell family and thought about it was the Italian “Barolo” famous for its intense red wine. The Seawell family is also famous for its fine red wines, which remind me of Barolo's grappa.

Grappa is roughly the same way it is made as marl, but it often ships colorless and transparent without aging. What's more, fruit flavors are very easy to drink and should be popular enough in cities like Teito, even if they're not Dwarf opponents.

Of course, you can go on the luxury route. Personally I also like fruit flavors, but I prefer amber-aged grappa, so if I'm going to make one in the Seawell family, I'm actively looking to help.

Initially, I had thought about whether I could serve a marl that wouldn't age like grappa even in my village. But I refuse for one reason or another.

In the early days of distilled liquor production, the main thing was the "scotch” made from barley, because the raw material, the grape squeeze, could not be stably secured. I didn't intend to make this “scotch” mature “new pot, or“ wheat shochu, "into the world.

At the time it began to be made, it was also intended to ship only distilled wines of grapes aged for more than three years, but if the world were to have a marl that would not age like grappa at this stage, that could have been the standard for distilled wines.

Then I want to drink (...) and the aged scotch is eliminated. To prevent it, we dared to age the distilled wine of the grapes.

Scott's description is finished and the plug can be opened.

The sweet fragrance characteristic of brandy is slightly felt. Scott cleverly shrugs the brandy with a pattern-like tool, pouring it into the glass he had prepared. Slightly diluted when it comes to brandy, but a beautiful amber liquid shined in the glass.

Only the Viscount and two civil servants received the glass. The knights are holding back because of the escort. The Viscount holds a glass and looks at the color-corrected metsu.

"Now put your mouth on slowly. You may have irritation in your nose because of strong alcohol, but first enjoy the fragrance"

As Scott explains, the Viscounts slowly bring the glass closer to their mouth. Mouth with a smile on your face about just how tight it is.

"That's definitely a strong liquor. But it smells good... now it's ten years..."

At the end of the day he was whining like he was talking to himself, drinking a little from the glass.

"Try turning the glass slowly. I think the scent will get even better..."

I'll lecture you on how to drink and Scott will explain how to make it.

Sutherland and Darunton make desperate notes with the intention of not missing a word, and the tasting progresses with the feeling that the Viscount is going to ask questions about what bothered him in the meantime.

I said, "How was it?" You can see why the blacksmiths change the color of their eyes, "the Viscount laughs, adding," This much alcohol, not just that, but this aromatic aroma and flavor must have captivated the Dwarves ".

Also try the Zach collection on the ”Scotch” side.

Wasn't this one a preference over “brandy," or because it was better to have something you could make on your own territory, which wasn't so much appreciated. Only the Viscount was impressed with the unique and complex aroma of "Is this just barley..."

Try hanging out so far, I know Viscount Radford is quite a liquor lover. Marquis Seawell is looking to thicken the pipes with the Dwarves and the Lockhart family, so I guess he's a candidate considering the area.

Finish your tasting and show the satisfied Viscounts to the public bathroom by saying, "Then the bathroom seems empty too, shall we come over there?"

I have over an hour until I finish my vigilante training and now I'm rented out. Of course, usually it will be the time allotted for some district, but this time I have it vacated because I knew the time of arrival in advance.

As far as I'm concerned, I think I can accommodate the Marquis' messenger a little more, but my father and grandfather are not going to take away the pleasure of a vigilante who has completed his rigorous training and has decided to cut it in an hour.

Listening to him as he walked, he was just those serving the Viscount and senior nobility, and he knew enough how to take a bath. "There are many public baths in Imperial City. And there's a hot spring just a little north of Seawell," he told me. Not as good as ancient Rome, but near Imperial Primes, bath culture seems to permeate the common people.

While the Viscounts are in the bath, I go back to the vault again to prepare for the feast. Instruct Scott and his assistants to replace it with a large stainless steel tank that had the wines of the Seawell family ready.

"I want you to keep a barrel in this tank. Let the other barrels settle for a couple of days, so please keep them out of the way..."

Scott's assistants lift the barrel with a lifting device and pour the wine into the stainless steel tank. A peek into a large tank reveals a bright red wine with a slightly purple hanging that releases an aromatic aroma into the reservoir.

(That smells good... is it still cloudy...)

The sediment is agitated and cloudy due to the fact that it is traveling in a carriage and insufficient filtration.

(I'm not so familiar with wine, but this is not a good condition. You need to calm the starch...)

It will be refilled from a large tank to a small tank of about twenty litres. In the meantime, store about 100 liters for five minutes. Accelerate time with magic (inventory) to calm the starch. The convenience of the inventory is that you can adjust the passage of time.

The more time you put into the inventory a thousand times the time elapsed, the more it will be, the more time elapsed by seven days. Furthermore, there is no vibration in the inventory, so the starch accumulates neatly below.

I'm going to refill this into a bottle I have prepared.

Stuff quietly in about twenty bottles and plug securely with cork - a cork made of wood attribute magic. And then we can go back to the inventory and get it to age again.

In about three hours, it will only have a maturation period of about four months, but after a day, it will have a maturation period of nearly three years.

(This young red wine and sparkling wine would be fine today. Surprise the Viscounts after tomorrow......)

What I thought about when I found out that the Seawell wines would be given was aging in bottles. There is no method of ageing in bottles in this world, only young wines.

I believe that this is about the lack of technology to make bottles in large quantities and inexpensively, the lack of means to transport cracks safely and the lack of technology to seal bottles.

For once, there is a ceramic jar, which I pack into it, but I don't have the idea of aging it, it only means refilling it from the barrel.

Aging using storage magic (inventory) is already used in sparkling wines, but this magic is so suitable that it might have been made for wine aging.

First of all, the temperature is constant at a moderate temperature of about ten degrees, and no matter how much I, the owner, move, there is no vibration in the contents. I haven't been able to confirm the light, but it feels dark when I peer in, so I don't think there is any light. It is wonderful to be able to accelerate time and mature in the short term.

This time, the Seawell family's red wines are close to full-bodied, dark-colored wines of high quality that are likely to withstand long-lasting aging. I tried it beforehand, but unfortunately the red wine made in the village of Rasmore makes the flavor hectic even if it's about five years old.

I don't know if the climatic thing is affecting it, or if it is the difference between grape varieties, but red wines from the village of Rasmore could not reproduce the good Domaine wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy.

It's just unfortunate the number of bottles is overwhelmingly low. For bat barrels, it contains about five hundred litres in a barrel, so a full bottle can take more than six hundred bottles. Since this is five barrels, there will be more than three thousand bottles, but only about two hundred bottles, including Magnum bottles - which are twice the normal capacity.

But I have some material I've taken away for a time like this.

Yes, it is titanium. When I was working as Professor Raspade's assistant at the Tilia School of Magic, I acquired a large quantity of titanium and kept it in my inventory.

Titanium can be extracted in large quantities from ancient ruins crap - stripped building materials, broken tools, etc. - but the presence of titanium is not known in this world and was classified as “unidentified (announced)" until I extracted it.

The only thing that's still in the college after I extract it is the academic samples. So far, I have conceded everything because of the lack of usage due to the fact that it has not been discovered and the difficulty of processing titanium in the technology of this world. The professor seemed intrigued by what he would use it for, but when he said he would use it for “booze” in a magic prop relationship, he immediately lost interest.

This titanium tank challenges the long-term aging of wine.

I'm not too sure, but I remember seeing the news that the sake collector made a titanium bottle and sank it into the sea to age it. I remember saying at that time that titanium was corrosion resistant and could also be used to store alcohol. My own, titanium skittle - a small portable bottle containing distilled liquor, etc. Also called a flask - had.

Since there are already about a hundred titanium tanks made for twenty litres, and there are still plenty of materials, it is possible to increase production.

Incidentally, this is why titanium was used for wine and not for Zach collections, although stainless steel is not considered to have that much impact because Zach collections are consumed in a few days if transported, the wine was made more corrosion resistant titanium because it ages on an annual order. In fact, I don't know which stainless steel tank or titanium tank has excellent corrosion resistance to alcohol.

Aged seawell wine, but not intended to be made for sale. Sometimes you can't just sell a gift from the Marquis on your own, but the biggest reason is that the secret of manufacture is the magic that only I can use.

I don't use storage magic (inventory) and can age normally for long periods of time, but my magic is also key to making bottles and corks. What's more, I don't have a great deal of knowledge about wine, and it's hard to teach people. For once, I'm going to explain to the Viscounts, but it will be subtle to see if it works out at the Seawell family.

Here in the village of Rasmore, while I try and error, I normally wish I could age for a long time and accumulate know-how, but if I even build a wine reservoir (curve) here in the museum hills, sometimes there is already a Scotch reservoir, and the museum hills are full of booze.

(I wish I could dig a tunnel in the basement, but if I did that, it would be “Sake Hill” instead of “Museum Hill"... No, I might already be...)

So far, I'm basically thinking of offering it to villagers at festivals and other events, with the exception of my own consumption. Of course, I'll keep a separate bulk of Beatrice's share of the original recipient.

(But think about it, this storage magic (inventory) is totally for booze. Riddy's sparkling wine, Beatrice's red wine... that's not all. bottles in the glass, tanks or... I'm also using them for cooking... I guess if the ancients who told me this would laugh bitterly... well, even if they laughed bitterly, I'm going to insist that "this is the right way to use it"...)

We will refill the wine, ask Scott to arrange a further tour of the distillery tomorrow, etc., and return to the public baths again. The Viscounts also seemed to have just come up from the bath and were sipping a nice cold beer in the bath they had prepared.

The Viscount seems to be in a pretty good mood, "That's quite something. The bath here. Plus the consideration of having a cold beer in the bath is great. That's Sir Zacharias in liquor. Hahahaha!" He looked pleased.

The wind blowing in March is still cold. Return to the mansion before it cools down.

On the way home, the Viscount asked me, "But where did Sir Zacharias get all this knowledge?" Since this type of question was often received, answers are already available.

"It's Doctus. At the School of Magic, he was immersed in the Praetarian Library, and was also instructed by a teacher familiar with the books, so besides magical relationships, he read and fished for books from around the world. He was also an assistant to a famous teacher, so he seemed to have a lot of knowledge of nature."

Saying so with a serious face, the Viscount said, "I see. That's sometimes called one genius a thousand years" admire.

The Praetarian Library, also known as the "Great Library”, is the best library in the world and houses a variety of literature.

However, I don't know much about what books are kept, and if I say I stumbled across them in a book in the Great Library, I mostly believe them except for the scribe who works there and someone familiar with old books like Professor Kitty Erbain.

It is well known that he was under the guidance of Professor Raspade, who is more famous as a freak, so when he gives the name of Professor Raspade, he is easily convinced.
