Bonnie Hill – Ferrand Double Cask
Sometimes I do get ideas while browsing the internet. In this case, I discovered a new banana liqueur which spiked my interest. So, I combined it with some cognac for an Old-Fashioned variation.

Holiday Drinks – Wine, whisky and beer
This summer holiday we went to the Westcoast of Denmark for a change. I chose a few different half size wine bottles and we bought a variety of beers. Especially the non-alcoholic beers were great.
Unbottled – Konni & Evi Alte Terrassen
We arrived at the Saale-Unstruth region. This is only one of two Eastern German wine regions – we will get to the second one in the next article. To be honest, there was actually no question on whether to present a wine from Konni & Evi homepage. Simply put they are the only high quality, […]
Unbottled – OIAL Champagne Tasting
If you spend enough time focusing on wine, and especially champagne, it is easy to get a little carried away. Add enthusiastic wine fans to the mix and you get a unique champagne tasting experience. What started out as a tasting of a few top cuvées got slightly out of hand. In the end, we […]
Oakwood – Chairman’s Reserve Master’s Selection
I already featured the Chairman’s Reserve Master’s Selection Coffee Still version in March 2026. Now, I also had the chance to review the John Dore Pot Still bottling. Yes, I mixed a cocktail with it, too.
Unbottled – Hofgut Falkenstein Krettnacher Euchariusberg
The Saar (sub-)region is very close to my heart. I already visited the area twice. This is why I also had to include it in my series on German wine regions. In this case, I chose a Riesling Kabinett from cult winery Hofgut Falkenstein. This special wine was the winner in the Kabinett wine tasting […]
Tab Dancer – Engel Juniper Uno Gin
At the end of June 2026, I visited my friend Manuel at his summer party, where he let me try his new gin. The Juniper Uno is made using only foraged Italian juniper. Obviously, I had to try the gin alongside another new eau de vie in a White Negroni variation.
Unbottled – Champagne Herbert & Co. 1000 % Meunier
There is a bit of hype around the champagnes from Herbert & Co. Luckily, I managed to get my hands on a bottle from Champagne Characters.
Secret Meeting – Vallein Tercinier V.S.O.P
The Vallein Tercinier V.S.O.P cognac has recently been given a new design. Fortunately, Kirsch Whisky was kind enough to send me a bottle to sample. I opted for a Cognac Summit variation, which turned out to be the perfect choice for such hot days.
Artist’s Special – Element R/1.0
As you will know from my recent article on Irish whiskey tasting, I am a big fan of the country and its whiskey in particular. Fortunately, Kirsch Whisky provided me with their relatively new Element Fusion Series R/1.0.
