idea san francisco restaurant the burritt room has a secret drink off the menu ordering the wingtip vieux carré me away will see a fine concoction of glenfiddich 15 remy benedictine and two types of bitters festooning your table with a custom copper coaster on completion of your dinner and the drink an uber will be waiting for you outside the front door ready to whisk you and 3 guests away to a

s just not kosher june 27 2014 ben shipley australian bacon week bourbon experimental spirits company fat wash spirits kudos sven and best of luck smoked bacon smoked bacon bourbon sven almenning the experimental spirits company leave a comment launched just in time for australian bacon week i present to you drinkers of the world smoked bacon bourbon the first of a series of releases from the experimental spirits company smoked bacon bourbon packs the rendered goodness of 35o grams of the finest australian cured and smoked pig into each bottle the experimental spirits company brings a measure of something special to the local spirits market here in australia the concept hinges on the application of studied refined and perfected technique to create something unique rather than the distillation of the spirit itself i think i know which bourbon they ve made use of in this release but i ll let you have the pleasure of guessing as well this porcine release is a really excellent example of a technique called fat washing borrowed from the perfumers tradition the technique takes advantage of the unique molecular structure that ethyl alcohol possesses with allows it to connect with both water soluble flavours the more standard infusion and fat soluble flavours i ll write in more detail soon about the process but suffice to say it is a tricky beast to get perfectly right the liquid in the bottle is a perfect balance between the flavours of bourbon and bacon it is beautifully filtered and lovingly packaged hand labeled and wax sealed in sven s kitchen this really is a bottle full of love it really shines in a manhattan or simply in a glass of its own delicious the pozible campaign launched today you can support it here to get a bottle of your own for a 70 if you re quick or a 80 if you re not in true crowdfunding fashion there are a bunch of excellent rewards if you want a truly unique experience or the simple pleasure of buying jacob briars a magnum of bacon whiskey the next cab off the rank for the esc will be the salted coconut spiced rum that forms the soul of the coco banana old fashioned the team at eau de vie released last year check out my man sven

april 16 2014 ben shipley 10yr old isle of mull ledaig non chill filitered not islay but still smoky good san juan de sicilia tobermory distillery leave a comment more than 200 years before whisky was first distilled on the isle of mull san juan de sicilia exploded off the coast of the hebridean island the ship was rumoured to be the treasure laden flagship of the spanish armada s levant squadron under the terms of this legend gold spilled from the ship and spread across the bay countless expeditions have found nothing more than the wreckage of a press ganged merchantman and not a skerrick of shining gold the colours seem to have run across the bay and settled in the stills of the tobermory distillery over time the whisky is a non chill filtered expression not a million miles away from what most people will consider islay s style further investigations will show that this is peat of a different ilk the smoke is sweet and beautifully balanced in the mouth you ll find it oily salty spicy and sweet there s fruit but not like the tobermory 15 over ice or with a drop you ll get a much longer and smoother experience 80 will get you a bottle of the true golden treasure of mull i

mezcal it s currently the number 3 selling brand domestic brand there bottled at 37 the fire many associate with agave is restrained but the earthy creaminess follows through in abundance pure smooth smoky goodness i defy anyone to drink it and not fall in love that alone should be enough for you to want to seek out this nectar and devour it but the story in australia gets even better the guy that is importing mezcal amores and los azulejos tequila is quite simply one of the good guys a young mexican jorge cervantes is passionate about his country and the products to be found there he s also committed to working with companies that remain locally owned to the benefit of the economy forget your fair trade coffee and chocolate this is social justice you can really feel good about he is mextrade and you should invite him to your bar try his great products implore him to break out the gusano and enjoy the company of a guy who is doing it for love and money sydney bartenders should get on board the contest jorge has put up on facebook a trip to oaxaca with all the trimmings is up for grabs for someone who falls in love with amores and creates a new cocktail jorge salud rate this

21yr old december 19 2013 ben shipley gift guide 2013 gift ideas for christmas old pulteney old pulteney 21yr old single malt scotch whisky scotland whisky wick leave a comment today was marked by a rare pleasure the chance to taste a range of whisky from a place called wick in the far north of scotland called the maritime malt the marque is a big supporter of seaborne adventure and sydneysiders will see their 70 foot clipper clear the heads and turn right for hobart this boxing day i ll admit i hadn t heard it mentioned much before today jim murray scored the old pulteney 97 5 a score that has never been exceed and only a handful of other crafted wh i sk e y has made the grade now i m not entirely sure you can fully trust the palate of a single individual even one as experienced and indeed descriptive as mr murray but here he makes a fine point anyway the liquid in your glass you get an oddly darker whisky than the 30yr old from the same distillery it is an excellent whisky to smell complexity and fineness of flavour that will have even the most ebullient of whisky describers searching for a thesaurus and flavour map all the old pulteney drams have a enchanting seaside flavour to them a salty backbone that spice sugar and malt cling to on a seemingly everlasting slide to a delightfully distant finish in this expression over all the others the 21 is rested in a fino cask and the dry nuttiness it lends takes this from a fine drop to a truly memorable one for me often described as the most northerly distillery in the uk old pulteney actually has lost this distinction with the restoration of distilling at the wolfburn still in thurso at the start of 2013 thurso is only another 20km towards father christmas from the stills in wick but there s not much of scotland left for a leapfrog attempt freed from their unique geographical burden their still is a unicorn it has both no head nor swan neck a legacy from their initial delivery to the site many moons ago the stills that were delivered to the site were too tall for the stillhouse and obviously keen to get on with the making of some truly excellent whisky the executive decision was taken to cut them down to size the result is called by many a smugglers still a throwback to the delightful history of whisky freedom and sticking it to the ruling classes they also use a 90 meter long set of pipes to cool the spirit a practice left in the past by most but you cannot argue with the result of a worm tub finish this is the perfect whisky to buy your dad or know it all best friends who insists their brand is the pinnacle not cheap at 200 from nicks but worth every penny and you ll get free delivery at that price for those of you unwilling top trust this special liquid to the hands of australia

rudd dry martini excellent packaging gift guide 2013 gift ideas for christmas gin great design juniper london dry gin martini gin mother s ruin no 3 london dry gin st james street leave a comment packing wise this gin is a winner from the start packaged in a fine white box beautifully printed i ve got a feeling of anticipation usually reserved for the premium end of the whisky and cognac spectrum the bottle slides out hand wrapped in a custom printed tissue map of the home of berry bros rudd wine merchants the bottle itself is adorned with the key to the premises at no 3 st james street and closed with a great piece of lead foiling stamped the the merchants royal warrant uncorking the bottle you get a massive hit of juniper the theme of threes is more than just packaging three fruits juniper grapefruit and orange lie down perfectly with three spices angelica coriander and cardamom designed as the last word in gin for a dry martini by a man with a doctorate in distillation the liquid certainly doesn t disappoint 46 abv makes it a pleasure in a g t particularly when you pair things up with a quality quina fina tonic and a decent squeeze of lemon the juniper is a standout in a super dry martini and i liked a 5 1 ratio with dolin that i ve just sucked down too this is the perfect gin to supercharge your gin classics for the holidays the spirit of cricket might have taken a beating these last few days in australia but you shouldn t think that everything english has gone past date london dry gin defines a style as old as modern drinking for a reason as a category it is great and this is its epitome brandwise this is a beautifully conceived and executed example the story is inextricably welded to an authentic history the paper hand wrapping of each bottle like the proprietors have been turning out of st james st more than 300 years the spirit is distilled in the copper pots in schiedam holland where the original gin the british stole improved upon came from 80 a bottle from nicks not the cheapest of juniper liquids in this country but a delightful change up to the citrus driven english and more floral craft gins on the market an excellent gift or treat
