Yellow Moon – Kilchoman Sauternes Cask
Obviously, the Kilchoman Sauternes Cask with its ageing in sweet wine casks is perfect on its own. Yet, I could not resist mixing up a cocktail with it. I was inspired by the whisky’s packaging in yellow.
review
Metal Heart – Emill Kraftwerk
I already made two variations of the Cameron’s Kick – the Kick Drum Heart and the Punch Through. In the former I combined whisky with a plum eau de vie and in the latter I discovered that Emill whisky from the Scheibel distillery works perfectly with Irish Whiskey.
Tribute to a King – Paul Bara Brut Reserve
This is actually the last drink I mixed in our old apartment. Yet, I was not happy with the pictures I took in a hurry. So, I remixed the drink and also used the chance to present you a tasty champagne.
Adeline – Axberg Vodka
The spirit category I neglect the most definitely is vodka. However, every time I do get a new one, I tend towards Vesper variations. Luckily, I also got my hands on a great grape marc spirit to pair the vodka with.
Fat Chance – GlenAllachie 12 Years
Finally, a Scotch drink that keeps my tradition of mixing Manhattan variations. In this case, the base spirit comes in the from of the GlenAllachie 12 Years. Let’s just say that for this recipe I combined it with a few compatible ingredients.
Pyres – Planteray Cut & Dry
Usually, I would stay clear of coconut rum. Yet, when it comes from Ferrand / Planteray you know that has a high quality and you must try it! In this case, I went for the obvious pairing with pineapple.
Bird is Bored – Glengoyne Cask Strength
Lately, I have been diving a bit into Scotch again. It might have something to do that I joined a Whisky regular’s table. For a first article, I chose the Glengoyne Cask Strength and I tried to keep things fairly simple.
Pantsy Waltz – Weyermann Doppelwacholder
What should you mix, when you have a juniper spirit on hand? Obviously, I had to come up with a Hanky Panky variation. Especially, when I also had a herbal liqueur from the same distillery on hand.
Mind Over Matter – Yoichi Single Malt
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.
Agave Month 2024 – Valle Local
For the start of Agave Month 2024, I have something special for you. On one hand, the drink has mezcal as a base and on the other hand a green mandarin eau de vie. On top of that, the recipe is based on the Last Word cocktail.
