The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
For the last drink in this year’s Tiki month (Yes, I know I am a little bit too late) I decided to revisit an old favourite of mine. The Doctor Cocktail is a great drink using Swedish Punsch. So, I brewed up a batch of Swedish Punch and got to mixing. I ended up with […]
The third instalment in the 2018 Single Casks Collection from Plantation is a 12-year-old rum from Panama. After its initial ageing process in its home-country and Plantation’s obligatory stay in cognac casks, the Panama 12 Years Rum gets a rare single malt cask finish. So, this should be rather interesting to see if there is […]
The next rum in the 2018 Plantation Single Cask Collection line-up is the Plantation Trinidad 2009. Its The origin alone arouses my interest, paired with an age of nine years, I am very keen on trying this special rum. Furthermore, I also have another Old-Fashioned variation in stall for you, that is packed with different […]
This year’s Plantation Rum Single Cask bottlings follow the new course of full disclosure. This is also the case with the new Plantation Guatemala X.O. rum. From the four bottles I am going to review, this might be the best choice for beginners. Nevertheless, the Guatemala X.O. has nice flavours to offer and makes pretty […]
After a personal recommendation, I had to get my hands on a special bottle of Ferrand’s Plantation series: Besides their non-age-statement and vintage lines, Plantation also bottles rum from individual casks. The rum in question comes from Haiti, a country where I so far had only sample Clairin from. This means I had no previous […]
One of the last drinks I mixed before Dry January 2024. I always enjoy mixing with Japanese whisky. In this case, I had the chance to create a Rob Roy variation with the Yoichi Single Malt.
There have been a lot of American whiskey drinks here on the blog lately. So, it is time to mix things up a bit, but not too much. This is why we stay with whiskey, but this time with a Scotch and Irish Whiskey combination. The Jungle Bird seemed like the perfect drink for it.
For quite some time now, I wanted to come up with a drink using the Fever Tree Smoky Ginger Ale. When I got my hands on the James Cree’s Single Malt, I knew that this was the perfect opportunity to come up with a Horse’s Neck variation. Furthermore, we also take a closer look at […]
It really has been a long time until I got my hands on this special cognac. Mizunara oak cask ageing is en vogue right now. However, only the Maison Tessendier produces Mizunara cask finished cognacs. In this case, they took a cognac from the Borderies region and finished it in Japanese Mizunara casks for half […]
Well, today is St. Patrick’s Day! While I do not have a green drink on hand, I at least can tell you about an Irish Whiskey. Teeling Whiskey is very dear to me, not only because I enjoy their bottlings very much, but also because we visited their distillery in Dublin in 2019. In this […]
