Episode 142 - Fernet Duet

In this amaro-driven conversation with Nick Fisher of Cocktail Chemistry, some of the topics we discuss include: How Nick started his incredibly popular YouTube Channel and how he organizes his videos by subject to appeal to different audiences Why he decided to subject himself to a comparative tasting of nine different domestic and imported Fernets Where Fernet fits into the larger world of Amari and herbal liqueurs, and why it's a deceptively difficult category to define Where in the world Fernet is the most popular, and how the people of Argentina have created their own signature method of drinking Fernet and coke. We also do a comparative tasting of two different Fernets from Nick's video to give you a cross-section of different tasting notes, we talk about the flavor science supporting Fernet's complexity, and we also discuss the merits of using really nice whiskey in cocktails.
