The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
To keep up with traditions, I am presenting you with the ten best rated spirits on my blog this year. For me personally it was the year of the eau de vie. I never before tasted as many fruit spirits. On top of that, the majority were high quality ones. This is also represented in […]
All of the Spiritus Rex eau de vies are rare. However, in his “Null Serie” Matthias only bottles his extremely rare spirits. This is why I am extraordinary looking forward to present you with an article on the “Schöner von Boskoop Brand” (Belle de Boskoop). For a drink I took a forest floor near an […]
