Blackberry Whisky


Continuing the rather alcoholic theme of the last few posts, we've also now got a demijohn of blackberry whisky maturing in the pantry.  Spent the (rather windy but at least sunny) afternoon blackberrying down the Rheidol Valley, and the fruits of our labours are now infusing into 2.5 litres of cheapish whisky.



The sugar has now more or less dissolved, and the blackberries also appear to be breaking up nicely - will definitely have to strain this one though - blackberries are inherently more 'bitty' than damsons.  Anticipating making some nice boozy blackberry jelly in due course!
