I Became a Food Developer in Another World - Chapter 56

※ The part that was mentioned as ‘Valentine’s Whiskey’ has been corrected to ‘Blended Whiskey’.

What I introduced to Mirtien was ‘blended whiskey’, which is made by mixing barley with various other ingredients.

‘Blended’ literally means mixed.

In the past, the distilled spirit made from the leftover barley harvested by various farms was sold at general stores, and each household ‘blended’ these to suit their taste and drank them, which was called blended whiskey.

It was a smooth and easy-to-drink whiskey with a good balance of various concentrates.

‘It’s difficult to even consider the brand.’

Because this whiskey was made using only raw materials from another world.

There may be a way to recreate the taste of aged spirits through alchemy, but this still requires more research.

In the end, the whiskey I served to Mirtien was a whiskey made solely from other world ingredients based on Aria’s ‘taste’.

Of course, the base for this is the whiskeys I tasted in my past life.

Aria blended these flavors to create her own blended whiskey.

Honestly, I don’t know if I should call this blended.

I was definitely showing them blended whiskies, but Aria was just full of corn, excluding barley.

It’s called a blended whiskey, but in reality it’s closer to American corn whiskey.

I felt strange seeing him follow American methods without being told to do so.

But is it because the elves aged it in oak barrels that they used to make fruit wine?

“… … This could be a substitute for wine.”

Mirtien’s eyes opened dreamily to the sweet fruity scent of the oak barrel.

The characteristic of Aria’s whiskey is that it has a smooth, sweet taste like stewed fruit without being sticky.

It tastes like roasted marshmallow.

‘As expected, the tree is from Elf Mountain.’

The first tasting of whiskey was a success.

*

The world’s first whiskey was produced under the permission of Mirtien, the founder of Cheongtapju.

Barley and corn were procured by the dwarves, who distilled them to produce holy water (alcohol).

However, the key was to find the right amount of alcohol… … .

“Is this enough?”

“Yes, that’s exactly right.”

Ayla’s delicate manipulation of magical powers allowed her to achieve incredible accuracy.

Although it was a high alcohol content of 60 degrees, northerners enjoyed strong alcohol to forget the cold winter.

Considering that, this amount seemed appropriate.

And Ayla accurately extracted the degree she had adjusted without even an inch of error.

It was an ability that was truly beyond words, a human distiller.

‘It doesn’t even cost money.’

Distilling by horsepower was far more cost- and time-efficient than simply boiling or freezing.

Because the magic circle carved by Ayla adjusted the alcohol content of the whiskey appropriately with just a small amount of magic power.

In particular, what Ayla was directly involved in was not just simple alcohol, but a ‘magic water’ filled with pure magical power.

It is literally a ‘whiskey potion’.

Islay’s whiskey, filled with pure magic, has a surprising effect that makes its taste and aroma even deeper, as if it had been aged for several more years.

But above all else, the one who could be called a fraud was Aria.

‘It’s amazing every time I see it.’

Ayla distilled the whiskey and placed it in elven oak casks, and Arya aged it herself. All she had to do was place her hand on the cask and concentrate.

Then, mistakenly thinking that the magic of the oak barrel had matured, it vomited out the ingredients on its own.

This did not simply have the effect of shortening the maturation time.

One of the reasons whiskey is so expensive is because of the amount of whiskey that ‘evaporates’ during its long maturation period.

I’ve heard that American whiskey evaporates so quickly that it’s difficult to age it for more than 10 years.

However, Aria’s ultra-fast maturation has solved the problem of whiskey evaporation all at once.

It was a sight that would make any whiskey maker in his previous life fall over with their necks clutched.

Of course, if you install a magic circle later and turn it into an automatic process, it will take much longer than that.

‘It’s a trap, but it only lasts for a few months.’

“how is it?”

“It’s the best.”

I nodded as I drank the whiskey Aria had poured for me. It wasn’t an empty promise.

‘It looks just like roasted marshmallows.’

The sweet yet deep fruity flavor and soft texture were a work of art.

It melts gently like a marshmallow and disappears in your mouth like a dream.

That’s probably why it has an addictive quality that makes you want to keep drinking it.

Above all, the subtle amber color of the whiskey in the glass was pleasing to the eye.

That’s why the name was given, Fairy Whiskey, meaning ‘fairy’s drink’.

Dwarven grains, elven oak barrels, and even a distiller named Ayla and a maturing craftsman named Aria. It’s cost-effective since you only pay for the ingredients.

The whiskey of this other world was a fraudulent combination that could not fail even if it wanted to.

The best-selling alcohol in the North is high-proof wine.

Guinness beer and cola were popular in the empire, but in the north, wine remained the most popular.

Because people enjoyed getting drunk on wine to forget the cold of the North.

But unfortunately for those northerners, one day the worst thing that could have happened was that all the grapes were wiped out.

As trade increased due to the Vikings, pests from across the sea killed all the empire’s grapes.

Most of the hardest-hit vineyards in the north have closed, and grape production has fallen to less than a quarter of its original volume.

This was shocking news to northerners who relied on wine.

“No wine?! What do you mean!”

“Are you telling me to drink some water right now?!”

Northerners wake up in the morning and drink wine, have a glass after work at lunch, and gather at a pub after work to enjoy wine together.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that they drank wine instead of water; for them, wine was like the irreplaceable elixir of life.

But an unprecedented pest robbed the northerners of their wine.

It forced the Northerners into a state of prohibition, which even Prohibition could not stop.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Magic has released a hopeful analysis that this incident will lead to better health for the Northerners.

It was observed that by quitting wine, various beneficial changes would occur in the body. However.

“I feel sleepy all day and have a headache.”

“I lost confidence in everything and became lethargic.”

“I keep getting nervous about trivial things. I can’t sleep. Sometimes I even feel dizzy.”

“Oh, my hands and feet are shaking.”

The Northerners showed symptoms that were exactly the opposite of what the Ministry of Magic had predicted.

I couldn’t find any beneficial changes that came from giving up wine.

It was one day when the northerners who could not drink wine were suffering from extreme stress.

“What is that?”

“…Fairy whiskey?”

A new type of alcohol was introduced to the eyes of northerners who frequented taverns every day in search of wine.

“Excuse me, boss. Is that whiskey written over there wine?”

“It is not wine, but a new alcoholic beverage launched with the purpose of replacing wine.”

“A substitute for wine?”

“What drink can replace wine! Speak sensibly.”

Naturally, Fairy Whiskey was initially shunned by Northerners.

For northerners who had only ever drunk brewed alcohol, especially wine, whiskey, a distilled liquor, was an unfamiliar alcoholic beverage that they did not readily reach for.

However, as the shortage of grapes continued, people naturally began to look for substitutes, and one by one, people began to drink Fairy Whiskey.

“…Huh? What does this taste like?”

“Oh, it’s sweet! It’s so soft.”

Everyone who has tasted Fairy Whiskey has given it favorable reviews.

The deep flavor of Fairy Whiskey, which seemed to have been aged for decades, was enough to impress the Northerners.

As the name suggests, the fairy whiskey is like a dream that disappears in an instant, almost magical.

What made Northerners fall in love with Fairy Whiskey more than anything else was its high ‘proof’ content.

The whiskey had an alcohol content nearly three times higher than the wine they enjoyed.

“This is it! Yeah, this is what I was looking for!”

“Oh, it’s warm.”

Northerners cheered the alcohol of whiskey that warmed their bodies.

“I guess I can have this without wine.”

“I like this whiskey better than wine.”

Fairy whiskey, with its deep flavor and high alcohol content, quickly began to replace wine.

No, Northerners no longer sought out wines with lower alcohol content than whiskey.

“Ugh, my throat feels hot.”

“It feels like my stomach is burning.”

The hot sensation that comes from the high alcohol content of whiskey was attractive to northerners.

Because it was a new sensation that I had never felt with wine.

And when the Northerners heard about the whiskey-making technique, they were again amazed.

“… What? Are you saying this was made with holy water!?”

“somehow!”

The fact that whiskey was made from ‘holy water’ instantly blew away any unfamiliarity Northerners had with whiskey.

Because Seongsu held a special meaning to the people of the empire.

There was no aversion to the very fact of drinking it.

The fact that ‘potions’ were made with holy water was well known even to the common people of the empire.

As whiskey became popular among northerners, a unique trend emerged.

“I don’t mind drinking it mixed with cola.”

“Ugh, the scent is a bit obscured, but this is good as is.”

It was just whiskey mixed with ‘cola’.

Up until then, it was just a unique drinking habit enjoyed by those who like cola.

“Krrrr… …”

“Hey, White Bear!”

“Eww!”

Until a man encountered a white bear, threw down his cola and whiskey and ran away.

“Krrrr… …”

White Bear’s mouth was torn as he picked up and drank the cola whiskey that had fallen on the ground.

“Okay, good.”

The picture of the blue tower drawn on the bottle caught White Bear’s eye.
