Yamazaki Distillery (and one more sentence)

OK. I'm going to write at least two different things here today. I'll number each. Each section is independent of one another. (It sounds like a mathematical writing, doesn't it?)


1.

Last Sunday, I went to Kyoto and after attending the 12 o'clock mass, I went to the Suntory Yamazaki Distillery. There was a tour of the distillery for 30 minutes or so and then a tasting session for another 30 minutes; we had Yamazaki 12 yrs old and Hakusyu 12 yrs old. Aside from that the tasting session was free, the tour itself was a series of discovery. I knew how to make whisky, but seeing how they actually carry out those process was interesting. Have you seen lines of pot stills, walked between lines of casks? I could also smell new pots, a young whisky before barrelling. This confirmed the often said how-aging-is-important-for-whisky. Also there were two casks whose sides were made of glass so that you can see inside. One was 4(?) years old and the other was 12 years old. They were good example of how the color of whisky change in aging process and how much they evaporate from the barrels (angel's share). Seeing is diferent from reading.

Once again I want to spend most of my time on mathematics. Enough said; brevity is the soul of wit.
