Continuing a little from the inspiration behind the feature on the Nardini range, it was to be around this time that I came across the French name of Distilleries et Domaines de Provence. Looking at the photo above, you may be hard pressed to recognise the labels, or indeed the names, but this very reason isContinue reading “Distilleries et Domaines de Provence”

The Dubliner
“When I die, Dublin will be written in my heart” – James Joyce 1882-1941 This quote is written at the top of each label of a new liqueur to hit the shores of England this year, the deluxe blend of The Irishman. Originally launched only a few years ago, from what I can tell, it hasContinue reading “The Dubliner”
Gabriel Boudier
These past few months I’ve been working closely with a French range of liqueurs and helping to develop the general awareness within both the bar community as well as customer focus. It’s fitting then that it’s about time I check the range and feature them within my site, exploring the reasoning why Gabriel Boudier are launching a hugeContinue reading “Gabriel Boudier”
Nomad Outland
The whisky world is diverse, with many ways of producing the wide range of flavour profiles we seek and enjoy. It’s fitting then that the Spanish Sherry producers Gonzalez Byass, specifically Master Distiller Antonio Flores, have partnered with Master Distiller Richard Paterson to offer a different kind of blended whisky to the market. Essentially, 26 maltsContinue reading “Nomad Outland”
Solerno
Liqueurs are a huge part of any bar offering, or indeed your own collection at home. Most of you have heard of the classics – Baileys, Tia Maria, Bénédictine etc, but there’s always one’s that stand out when browsing a little closer to the flavour profiles available. How about Solerno for example? A blood orange flavouredContinue reading “Solerno”

A look into these new expressions from the Michter’s brand reveals some classic history lessons,Continue reading “Michter’s”
Manchester Whisky Club – January 2015
Entering the second birthday of the Manchester Whisky Club, we decided to take a break from the whisky itself due to the January blues, and side-stepped into the world or rum as a one-off. Held once again at The Briton’s Protection, here’s a run down of the expressions we explored, and my tasting notes toContinue reading “Manchester Whisky Club – January 2015”
Cotswolds
English whisky is creating a new era. The English Whisky Company is the most well-known at the moment, but there are a couple of producers ageing their stock to satisfy a growing interest in, well, whisky that’s not from Scotland, Ireland or America. People’s palates are changing, and the likes of Cotswolds are there toContinue reading “Cotswolds”
Artisan Drinks
I’ve many a reference book on my shelves, ranging from brand specific, to cocktail ideas, to category overviews. It’s odd to admit then that despite the numerous titles, I don’t sit down, open one up and flick through. I do know why. I get incredibly frustrated if I come across an inspiring idea, or a cocktailContinue reading “Artisan Drinks”
Azizi
It’s not all about alcohol on my site. Yes, the world is dominated by spirits, wine and beer, but there are a fair share of alcohol alternatives today, especially as we find more innovative ways to enjoy a drink if we are not lucky enough to leave the car behind. With this in mind, mayContinue reading “Azizi”
