Here’s a little something unusual… Instead of a spirit infused with something, how about something infused with spirits? Olli Salumeria of Oceanside, California has come up with a set of spirits infused salami that does a great job of imparting the character of each of the three spirits (Bourbon, Mezcal and Gin) used in their creation. I had my trusty assistant serve me one of each of the types blind, and I was able to clearly identify the spirit used in each one. The Bourbon infused shows real Bourbon markers of vanilla and toffee, the Mezcal version gets at both the characteristic smoky and agave notes, and the Gin iteration delivers a botanical vibe akin to a London Dry. I suspect that a fine-tuned methodology is in play here – I’ll be researching that and will amend this review with my findings. Meanwhile, I found it at my local Costco at a more than fair price. Fly it solo on your board, or pair with your favorite appropriately based cocktails. 92
