The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I actually was forbidden from mixing drinks with the bottle of rum I want to present to you today. The guys at Ferrand told me that I should enjoy the Plantation Single Cask Trinidad 2000 Amburana Cask Finish neat and not in a cocktail. For once I thought I would listen and of course I […]
I know, the No. 3 Gin is not that new. Indeed, it has been around for quite a while and it is more or less a classic London Dry gin. However, it is still worth taking a closer look! Partly this is because for me the No. 3 belongs to a London Dry subcategory I […]
Maybe you have been wondering lately what is wrong with me? So many weeks gone by and no review of a new gin ! Well, do not despair, it is time to sample a new German gin! In this case it is also a rather special one. Not only does it come with a slightly […]
To celebrate the finishing of my studies I went on a short trip to London with three of my friends. Besides the usual sightseeing we also went on a great culinary trip through the capital of the United Kingdom. Needless to say that also two great bars were on the list.
After all this bourbon whiskey, it is time to focus on some interesting agave spirit again! In the case of the Don Fulano Fuerte, we are not only talking about a high quality tequila, but it is also bottled at overproof. And I do not have to tell you that a higher ABV is always […]
Sorry for the weird animalistic title, but in this case it is really about a swan and a piggy. The swan in question is actually an Irish cream liqueur called Cool Swan and of course the piggy is a cask strength single malt. What else could it have been? So, let’s see how those funny […]
When planning my birthday party I was also in need for an aperitif before dinner. This was when I remembered the Paul Bara Brut Champagne. I have wanted to try this bottle for quite some time now, because of a recommendation, but so far I did not get around to do so. Finally, I did […]
As promised with the Riedenburger Sommer Sud, here is my review of its bigger brother the Riedenburger Dolden Sud IPA. Right away I can tell you that this is one of my favourite IPAs. It has just a perfect balance between flavour and quaffability. What also helps is that the best place for drinking craft […]
It has been a while since I put some bourbons to the test. So, I thought it was time to review some new bottles. This is why, I arranged a blind-tasting with some friends. In total we tried eight different bourbons, five with an ABV between 45.7 % and 50 % and three cask strength […]
Sometimes you just need a little luck to get to try something very special! In this case I entered a competition and was lucky enough to be amongst 100 people who got the chance to try the new Douglas Laing Timorous Beastie 40 Year Old Blended Malt Whisky. Of course, I could not keep myself […]
