The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
I guess it is not a secret, that apricots are my favourite eau de vie flavour. So I am always keen on trying new bottlings. Especially, when they come from one of my favorite distillers Manuel Engel. For a drink, I was inspired by the floral flavours of the eau de vie and paired it […]
To further enhance my Pisco knowledge, I had the chance to directly compare three more Piscos. All three “aromatic” grape variety Piscos come from Barsol. It was impressive to experience the similarities, but also the differences between the Moscatel, Italia and Torontel grapes.
As mentioned before in my article on the Bergamot Sour, I neglected Pisco a bit here on the blog. To change that, I am featuring another style of this South American brandy today. Apart from that, I had also the idea to turn the classic Pisco Punch cocktail into a Milk Punch.
Today I am presenting two different drinks to you. First, a cocktail by fellow Drinkstagramer Philipp using pisco and Italicus. However, besides that I am also showing you my version of the drink, I call the “Cedro Sour”. Instead of pisco, I used a Blanch Armagnac and of course I could not help myself, but […]
The last instalment in the 2018 Plantation Rum Single Cask Collection is a multi vintage rum from Peru. Since, this is the highest proof of all different single cask collection rums I tried in the last articles , it should be quite interesting. On top of that, the rum’s finish in Willett Rye Whiskey cask’s […]
As mentioned in the article on the Red Dust cocktail, Plantation Rum has a new philosophy, when it comes to providing information about their rum. This is also the case with this rum from a rather unusual island. It comes from Fiji, an island only known by experts for its excellent rum. Apart from that, […]
One of the two new rums in the Plantation portfolio is the Peru 2004 Vintage Edition. The special thing about this rum, besides its not so common source, is the full disclosure of facts. This means that you not only get the name of the distillery, but also the fermentation time, the type of barrels […]
The latest Spirited News were supposted to be the last for this year, but I have a special treat for you! I stumbled upon the latest Drinks Syndikat box! Ever since the guys featured my “Metallic Cloud” in their craft beer box I am a big fan! If you are looking for festive drinks, get […]
A few weeks ago I already featured the Gin’Ca Gin made by the Inca Distillery from Peru. Yet, they not just created one new gin, instead they also made a second edition called Amazonian Gin Company. This second bottling takes its inspiration from the Amazonian jungle and with ingredients that do not even have names […]
6760 miles, this is how far this new gin had to travel to get to me. No wonder if you take into account that it is distilled by the Inca Distillery in Lima, Peru. Luckily, Christian Wurm from Sucos Do Brasil started to import the products of this relatively new South American distillery a few […]
