Brandy Barrels
In 2018, our Barrel Program Manager Eric Ponce was tinkering with a variant of Velvet Merkin involving Brandy barrels and spices – soon to be named Molé Merkin. Eric selected some higher proof Velvet Merkin Barrels from our warehouse.
Drawing upon his own Mexican heritage and family mole recipes inherited from his grandmothers to create a blend of Puya chile peppers, cocoa nibs, and cinnamon. The cinnamon adds a hint of sweet spice, the cocoa nibs bring a luscious balance to the medium lingering heat of the peppers, and the brandy barrel adds its own element and a little more kick.
