Ndidibene neqela elikumantla e-distillery kwindawo emnyama emva kwemini ngo-Agasti, enye yeyona nto ibalaseleyo yonyaka. Izityalo zazolulela emgama, zangcwatyelwa kumhlaba ongaphezulu kangangokuba zimnyama zabonakala ngathi zidaywe. Kwakungekho nabamelwane ababonakalayo, akukho miqondiso icacileyo yempucuko- ngaphandle kukaReese, evulekileyo wavula ucango lwenkuni lwesakhiwo esikhulu ukuze andamkele. USwanson wajikeleza kwilori yakhe emva komzuzu. Wayephumile evuna i-rye e-North North eyatyala ukuwa okokugqibela, kwaye akazange acinge ukuthatha ikhefu (elithozamileyo) ukuze andibonise.

Indawo yabo-leyo uReese ayibiza ngokuhlekisayo ngokuba yiFektri yeFlethi- yakhiwa kwasekuqaleni, kanye ngaphezulu kwentsimi yengqolowa yakudala. Ngaphakathi kukho izitovu ezibini zobhedu (i-50 kunye ne-500 yeelitha), i-gurgling mash cooker, iitanki zokuvulwa komoya ovulekileyo, kunye nenqwaba yemigqomo yeenkuni efakwe kakuhle ngasemva. Esi sakhiwo asinakulawula imozulu amaqondo obushushu agqithisileyo anceda inkqubo yokuguga. Enkosi kumash, yonke into inuka ngokungacacanga ngokutya okushushu. Kukwathule cwaka, ngaphandle kwesiqhulo sezixhobo kunye ne-purp evela e-Eep, ikati yokuhlangula eyayibanjwe yingqele ngaphambili, njengentsapho yakhe eyamkelekileyo, wazalwa wakhulela eHallock.

Ingcinga ye terroir , ezixhaphakileyo ezinxulunyaniswa newayini kwaye, mva nje, ikofu, ingena kwisigama sezinto zokucoca izixhobo. Kuluvo lokuba iimveliso zezolimo zenziwe yimozulu kunye nenkcubeko apho zikhule khona. Ii-distillers zeshishini zihlala zisebenzisa abathengisi abambalwa bempahla; Yonke into iqala ukungcamla kumgangatho ofanayo, nkqu ne-bland. Nokuba phakathi kwezinto zokucoca izixhobo zobugcisa, bambalwa kakhulu abazikhulisela izithako zabo. Ngokunyanisekileyo kweMimoya yaseNyakatho ekude

I-Swanson kunye neReese luhlobo olutsha; njengabapheki, bacinga nzima malunga nendlela yokwandisa amandla endalo kaHallock nakwingingqi ejikelezileyo. I-Swanson ibeka iliso kuyo yonke inkqubo eqala xa kutyalwe imbewu, imnika ulawulo olomeleleyo kumgangatho kunye nokunambitheka. Unokukhetha uhlobo oluchanekileyo lwesityalo, unokucofa iziqholo kwibhetshi nganye, unokwenza ifiddle ngokudayala kwakhe xa kukho imfuneko. Umhlaba wabo, okwangoku, utyebile (kwaye uvakalelo) lutyebile, amadlelo afanayo atyalwe ngookhokho bakaSwanson kwinkulungwane eyadlulayo, besandula ukuhamba ngesikhephe esivela eSweden.

I-Rye - ingqolowa eyomeleleyo, enganyangekiyo ngenxa yembalela ifanele umhlaba waseMinnesota naseScandinavia - isebenza njengesiseko seminikelo ebukhali yeFar North, zonke zinamagama eNordic, ubuntu obuthile, kunye nelifa leMinnesota. Uchaza uReese Solveig , i-gin yabo yokuqala, njengokukhanya kunye neentyatyambo, njengeCate Blanchett kwisweta yekhesmere. URoknar , iwhiskey egudileyo egudileyo eyaziwa ngayo, ivusa uSteve McQueen kwindawo eguqulwayo- uhlobo olomeleleyo, oluthe cwaka. Ngokunyanisekileyo kweMimoya yaseNyakatho ekude

Abantu bendawo babonwabile xa uReese noSwanson babuyela umva, ukuba bayathandabuza ngamabhongo abo. I-Northwest Minnesotans zizolile kwaye zinoburharha, utshilo uSwanson. Babenjengoko, ‘Iyavakala loo nto eyahlukileyo . ’Kuthathe nje iinyanga ezimbalwa, kunye neeSips ezimbalwa, ukubaphumelela. NgoMgqibelo ngokuhlwa, iiHallockian ngoku ziyangena Igumbi lokungcamla umoya laseMantla ekude , Ukubhabha kumngxunya ophekiweyo wee-cocktails ezinemicu yephepha le-birch. (Kuthathelwa ingqalelo ubuhle bendawo kunye nobungakanani beziselo, amaxabiso- $ 6 wento exutywe, iidola ezi-3 zokugalela - ziphantsi ngendlela eyothusayo.) Eludongeni olunye, kukho ingqokelela yeeteki ezinombuzo olula oprintwe kwi umva: Ngubani umlimi we-whisky?

Esi sibini sigcwalise ibhotile yabo ye-100,000th ngo-Agasti, eyona nto ibalulekileyo kwivenkile kaMama noPop. Ulwabiwo lukhula ngokuzinzileyo, ngokuhambelana negama laseMantla elikhulayo. (Iimpahla zabo zigcinwe kwimigca okanye iivenkile zotywala ezili-1,100 kwilizwe liphela, eMidwest nakuzo zombini iindawo ezingaselunxwemeni.) Kunyaka odlulileyo, babambe iindwendwe ezivela kumazwe angama-23 nakumazwe amathandathu, iindawo ezikude apho uRese aphawula khona ngokufanelekileyo imephu yepinboard kwindawo yokugcina. Abo bahambayo bayavuzwa ngokhenketho olubanzi lwe-Far North kunye nokusebenza kweapos, incoko enomtsalane, kunye neziselo ezinqabileyo njengayo nayiphi na into onokuyifumana kwindawo yeedolophu ezinkulu.

I-distillery iye yaphefumlela inkcubeko ethobekileyo eHallock uqobo, isixeko esasilwela ukuhlala abantu. Umzi mveliso wobugcisa ( Isityhilelo Ale Works ) yavula iinyanga ezili-18 emva kweFar North, kunye nevenkile emnandi yekofu (Bean kunye neBrashi) kunye neAirbnb emnandi ( IScandinavia ), Izinketho ezincoma inkampu yeMinnesota eninzi kunye nokuzingela. Kutshanje kuqeshwe i-Main Street yeKomiti yeSitalato i-Hallock iqeshe i-arhente yokuyila esekwe eMinneapolis, Inkampani Bodega Ltd. , ukunceda ukumisa kwakhona umfanekiso wedolophu, ngenjongo yokutsala abahlali abatsha abali-100 kule minyaka ilishumi izayo. (Ukuzoba inkuthazo kubukhulu bembonakalo yomhlaba kunye nomsebenzi kaDonald Judd eMarfa, eTexas, inkampani ehleli kumgca weteksti Izinto zicace apha ngasentla.) ULindsey Evenson, oqhuba iSityhilelo nomyeni wakhe, ubiza oovulindlela baseFar North.

UReese uyavuma ukuba ukwakha ubomi kwimida yelizwe kuvakala kusisi. Ngokuqinisekileyo igcwele imiceli mngeni yamalungiselelo: ukufumana abasebenzi abafanelekileyo, ukunciphisa iindleko zokuhambisa, ukunyamezela ubusika obude nobulolo. Enyanisweni, abanini (kunye nomncedisi we-distiller uJohny Barbosa) bafaka iiyure ezinzima, ngamanye amaxesha kwiimeko ezimbi, phantse bonke bebodwa.

Kwaye kuyimpazamo, utshilo uReese, ukucinga ukuba ngenxa yokuba kukho ii-6,000 zokupheka, kunokubakho ii-distilleries ezingama-6,000. Ngenxa yokuqhuma kwemimoya, ukuphumelela indawo eshelufini akukho lula, kwaye ii-distillers zeshishini ziye zalandela ukuthengwa okanye ukuthatha isikhundla esincinci kwizithembiso ezizayo. Kukho ii-30 Minnesota gins kwintengiso ngoku, utshilo uReese. Akukho baninzi abasela iigin. Kwi ILondon , akukho baninzi abasela i-gin! Ndicinga ukuba siza kufikelela kwinqanaba elincomekayo.

Okwangoku, abantu abakumNtla okude baqinisekile ngekamva. Bayazithemba izandla zabo nethuku labo. Banxibelelene ngokunzulu naloo inki yomhlaba waseMinnesota. USwanson, umntwana wasefama ogqibeleleyo, akoyiki ukuthatha izixhobo kunye nolingo. Emazantsi emgceni, bangathanda ukwandisa igumbi labo lokuthengisa, mhlawumbi bongeze enye, i-fermenters. Kutshanje baqeshe umncedisi wemveliso yaseSweden; indlela athetha ngayo ingathi iindevu zakhe. Bafuna ukuba umhlaba ubone, kufutshane, yintoni ebeka uMntla Ntshona Minnesota ngokwahlukeneyo. Iprojekthi yabo ayisiyiyo indlela yokuthengisa.

Kungekudala, abanye abenzi bewayini eNapa Valley batyhutyha iHallock, bekhathalela indlela yegrabile ejonge ngakumgqomo weFar North weenkozo, bekhaba uthuli emva kwabo. USwanson wayengakholelwa ukuba bahamba yonke loo ndlela. (Ngaba kungenxa yokuba iNapa yayisemlilweni!?) Abenzi bewayini babefumene i-Far North Spirits kwizishelu ezisentshona kwaye babemangalisiwe kukubona ukuba iSwanson ngokobuqu bemba i-rye ababeza kuyibiza kamva.

Igumbi lokutyela e Ekude North Imimoya ivulwa qho ngeMigqibelo ukusuka nge-4-8 pm, ngaphandle kokuba kuphawuliwe. Indawo yokuhambisa izixhobo ikwabonelela ngokhenketho lwabucala ngesicelo; ukutyelela, ukunxibelelana ngewebhusayithi yabo (f kweengcayi.com ).
