Hey, keep the feathers out of the cookies! :-)

Congratulations on the cordial. But why were you aging it for 3  
years? Did you just set it aside and forget about it? (That's the  
only way a pair of my mead bottles ever got to be aged several  
years). I have always heard that cordials didn't need a long aging  
time. Did you taste it through the aging process? If so, did you  
notice the aging changing the taste?
