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.

It took me over a year to get around to mix this drink. However, the good thing is that I know had the perfect Scotch whisky for the recipe. The Glengoyne 12 Years worked perfectly well in this summery Rob Roy variation.
As per usual, I am pretty late to review some samples from Which.de. However, they also publish a new Scottish Single Malt book out. So, I took this as an excuse to write about the recent whiskies and other bottlings.
It has been way too long since I went to the last spirits fair! To change that I got the chance to visit the 2023 Village Whisk(e)y tradeshow in Nuremberg. It was great to see a lot of familiar faces live again. On top of that, I also got the chance to try some amazing […]
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.

This is probably the cocktail which I neglected the longest. I had the basic idea during Christmas time 2019. Now, two-and-a-quarter years later I finally got around to mix it and write about it. However, this also gives me the excuse to review a special port from Dow’s. On top of that, I also have […]
Nowadays, a lot of countries produce excellent whisky. Australia is no exception to this. So, I was very excited to try the Starward Line-Up in a blind tasting organised by Kirsch-Whisky. All in all, the whiskies did not at all disappoint!
The Cameron’s Kick is a cocktail I unfortunately disregarded so far. Somehow, I thought of it as a “dressed-up” Whiskey Sour. However, when I reviewed the Busker Irish Whiskey a few weeks back, I mixed up a variation of this classic cocktail. I was in for quite a surprise! Although I added a bit of […]
So, this month’s Home Bar Awards challenge revolves around Bee’s Knees variations. This also means it is right up my alley, because I am a big fan of the original Bee’s Knees cocktail. However, since I did not get my hands on Barr Hill Gin which partnered with Home Bar Awards, I used a barrel-aged […]
