Liqourice Whisky Sour
Even before we visited the Stauning distillery, I made a variation of a Whisky Sour with Danish whisky and liquorice syrup. I just had to play on the connection of the Danish liquorice syrup from Bülow and the whisky.

Distillery Visit – Stauning Whisky
As promised in my article on my holiday drinks, we visited the Stauning Distillery, located right across the Ringkøbing Fjord. So, it was a must-visit.
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.
Hazy Image – Farthofer Emmer Whisky
It has been a long time since I featured Farthofer Whisky on my blog. Yet, way back when I did enjoy them very much. Now I am happy to feature another bottle here. Additionally, I also managed to remix the winning cocktail of the ‘Whisky category’ from the “Made in GSA” cocktail competition.
An Irish Whiskey Tasting
As I mentioned in my posts in the lead-up to St. Patrick’s Day, I didn’t have a single bottle of Irish whiskey at home. To remedy this, I decided to compare ten different bottles. Fortunately, I had no trouble assembling a small tasting panel.
St. Patrick’s Day 2026 – Kicking Around
In my opinion, the Cameron’s Kick cocktail probably is the most underrated Irish Whiskey cocktail. However, the combination with Scotch, lemon and orgeat just works! In this case, I decided to use the Old Comber Blended Irish Whiskey and added a bit extra.
St. Patrick’s Day 2026 – Caustic Love
Stout Casks are the best friends of Irish Whiskeys, at least that is my theory. In this case, I had the recipe for the cocktail on hand for at least a year. Now that I got the perfect bottle for it, I had to mix it. At the same time this gives me the chance […]
Full Capacity – Rowan’s Creek Bourbon
Even though summer is on its way out, I decided to create a summery drink with the Rowan’s Creek Bourbon. The recipe sits somewhere between a Mint Julep and a Swizzle. Again untypically for me, I decided to keep things simple.
St. Patrick’s Day 2025 – Tipperary
I know, Chartreuse can be hard to come by these days. Nevertheless, is the Tipperary cocktail one of my favourites. On top of that, the drink is a true classic first mentioned in 1916. Hugo R. Ensslin published the drink in his “Recipes for Mixed Drinks” book.
Once Again – Scheibel Blackcurrant Rum
I do enjoy the spritis from Scheibel’s ‘Alte Zeit’ range quite much. Yet, there liqueurs are where they really shine! In this case, I came up with a sparkling wine cocktail using their whisky as well as the new Blackcurrant Rum.
