The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Like the previous Spirited News, this one is also a special edition. I do not even know what I am reviewing for you today. The only thing I know is that it is supposed to be whisky. However, it could be a bourbon, rye, single malt or even something completely different. On the one hand […]
Obviously, I could not visit the Slyrs distillery, without creating a cocktail using one of their single malts. This is why I am presenting the Bavarian Smash to you today. It basically is a highproof version of my PX Jerez Smash. Nevertheless, because of the Slyrs 51, it is noticeably different.
I have been to a few distilleries so far. However, I never visited a pure whisky distillery. So, just I had to visit the Slyrs Bavarian Single Malt distillery when I was in the neighbourhood. The home of the Slyrs Single Malt is absolutely worth a visit. Here is the full story of the Bavarian […]
Everybody who asks me what the next trend after gin will be, I am telling that it probably will be vermouth. Like gin, you can make it everywhere and in a wide range of variations. Of course, you have to buy the ingredients somewhere, but compared to tequila the production of vermouth is not limited […]
Well, sure this single malt is not exactly new to the market. Nevertheless, because of its price and exclusively ageing in sherry casks, this dram is well worth reviewing. On top of that, I am also a big Glenfarclas fan, but enough introduction, let us start!
Keeping the non-rum-theme for another week during Tiki month, I am presenting to you the Palms cocktail using – Palms Arrak. What might seem like an uninspired cocktail name, actually is another one of my musical references. Apart from that, you also have to keep in mind, that we are not talking about a Batavia […]
Of course, I could not let you go into a new year without a proper year in review! So, in this long standing tradition, I will present to you the ten best spirits I tried here at the Augustine-Bar blog during the last year. The top ten is clearly dominated by whiskeys, but there also […]
Obviously, I am always delighted to try a new whisky! This time the small bottled of Scotch Malt Whisky Society Single Malt was provided by Freddy another blogger from Singlemaltwhiskey.org. The malt in question comes from the Highland Park Distillery and of course I was very curious to try it.
Believe it or not, but this cocktail actually was inspired by a cold remedy. When my sister gave me a cough drop, I noticed that rough Icelandic / Islay notes go very well with sweet cassis flavours. Luckily, with the latest Lagavulin Distiller’s Edition (DE), I had just the right single malt on hand! Of […]
This time in the irregularly appearing news section: Three different independently bottled single malts. All three of them are unchillfiltered, no colour is added, they have been finished in fortified wine casks and bottled at cask strength. So, it sounds like they are more than interesting to try!
