So Far, So Good – Compass Box Orchard House
I know it is Dry January, but here is a drink I already mixed up in December. On top of that, this is a great drink using Scotch whisky and a variation of another drink I made last year.

Day by Day – Scheibel Nussler
It has been a long time since I made an Old-Fashioned variation. So, I thought I give it a try when reviewing a barrel aged walnut eau de vie. On top of that, I also have a great value-for-money rum from Barbados.
Troubled Mind – Villa Lobos Blanco 55 %
The next drink I want to present to you comes from my long list of cocktail ideas. Every time a flavour combination pops into my head, I write it down. So, there is a list of 200+ cocktails I could try. To lower the amount of cocktails on that list, I started going through it […]
An American Whiskey Tasting Part 1
To prepare for the our trip to the US, I organized an American Whiskey tasting with friends. However, because of our honeymoon, it took me that long to write up the results. All in all, we tried an American Whiskey, six bourbons and four rye whiskies. Below you will find the first part of the […]
Older Chests – Heimat Alte Birne
There are many eau de vie producers out there who distill gin now. However, there are not many gin producers which decided to produce an eau de vie for a change. In this case, the folks from Heimat Gin bottled a pear eau de vie from old pear trees. So, let us see how it […]

For the second Spirited News in 2022, I am presenting a great Single Malt to you. It comes from a distillery which once was the biggest in Scotland. Apart from that, I also want to talk about a new book from Whisky Store Which.de where you can look up all your favourite Scottish distilleries.
Old Ceremony – Chairman’s Reserve Vintage
I already reviewed some Chairman’s Reserve Rums on the blog. Therefore, I was quite happy to get the chance to review the vintage version, too. Additionally, the rum seemed perfect for a banana laced Old-Fashioned variation.
All Your Favorite Bands – SR Gentiana
We will take a short break from Tropical Month to look at another stunning eau de vie from Spiritus Rex. This Cuvée of a rare apple and gentian root is really powerful stuff! Apart from that, I collaborated with my friend Torben from Trinklaune to create a cocktail which on one hand profits from the […]
