My blog has begun to circulate among some people who don't know me personally (which is awesome, btw), and apparently the blog's title is a source of some confusion. What does cake have to do with whiskey, and why on earth is it Christmasy and moist?
I have a certain tongue-in-cheek attitude when it comes to wine and spirit tastings and the horde of descriptors that come with them. Phrases like "dried cranberry" and "peppercorn" and "melted asphalt". I'm sure these terms are meaningful to some professionals out there, but I find a certain humor in them. The most hilarious I've ever come across is moist Christmas cake.
Let's break it down. We're talking about cake, yes, but Christmas cake in particular. Although Christmas cake is a type of fruitcake, we're taking note of the holiday season pertaining to the cake. Finally, this isn't some Boxing Day cake from last night, but rather fresh and moist as a fruitcake should be. I mourn that I am not one of the lucky who can taste the difference between "cake" and "moist Christmas cake", but I can keep pretending.
