TAMWORTH, New Hampshire — Beaver-flavored whiskey, anyone?

A New Hampshire distillery has a new bourbon, Eau De Musc, flavored partly by the secretion from a beaver’s castor sacs.

Tamworth Distilling says the secretion, called castoreum, has a history of being used as a flavoring and is on a small list of FDA ingredients called “generally recognized as safe.”

The distillery says on its website castoreum “exhibits bright and fruit qualities (raspberry) and rich leathery notes along with creamy vanilla aroma,” common among barrel-aged spirits.

4. Thanks, but I'll stick to hints of leather, tobacco, fruit, honey, caramel, pepper, rose, etc.

5. "June, I'm home and could use a drink. Would you mind squeezing the beaver?"

"Certainly Ward, I know you have had a hard day at wherever you go everyday."

6. dare I ask what a castor sac is or where it is located?

Never mind, I think I would rather not know.

Would castor sacs present an inviting target to a certain Iowa female senator?
never mind, I really don't want to know.
