Fluid Dynamics The St. Nick Barrel-Aged Cocktail

A person making a distilled spirit by hand gets to know that spirit very well: the contribution of each ingredient, the spirit’s flavors & aromas, how the spirit ages in an oak barrel. Fluid dynamics recipes take months to develop: experimenting with blends, aging them, making tiny adjustments, trying to imagine what further aging would create.

This is a classic cocktail from craft-method spirits, blended & aged in the Germain-Robin brandy cellars.
