a long overdue march 17' spirits business (subjective) review

SPIRITS BUSINESS FEBRUARY 2017 # 84
Noteworthy information according to Spiritsfully

A quiet cover for fall issue focusing on gin. Here is a selection of articles I found the most relevant starting with

P. 24
An interesting article questioning the definition of gin. Gin and more specially premium gin are having a momentum since a couple of years. Indies gin producers keep competing to develop new exciting products and in doing so they do expend the definition of gin. Will it be that gin is not only defined by the presence of juniper ? Where will the frontier  with vodka be ? Will it provoke some kind of category fatigue ?

P.40
An article about LUCAS BOLS brands. If you have read this post you already know a little bit about it... In this article a great timeline and more details.

P. 58
An unusual article about an unusual subject: bar and babies. How do you make a life as a bartender or in the night scene and still bring up children. I find interesting that the magazine is addressing the subject and not only collect news of the trade.
