 Dear Curious Readers,
Today, Spiritsfully will introduce you to a German initiative that is worth knowing, the "Society for the History of Spirits". And maybe you will also tell me if you know of similar initiatives in other countries? Thank you in advance!  Dear Curious Readers
the end of the years is approaching, time to learn something different, right? So why not spit drinks, and more precisely spit drinks from Peru, meaning Chicha and Masato. Let’s dive How do spit drinks work?  Dear Curious Readers,
Let's continue to debunk distillation related myths. Today we look at the women who also happen to be distillers and we start many centuries before JC...  Dear Curious Readers, Fernet Branca is the most famous of Fernet's brands, itself is a cousin of the Swedish bitter aka Elixir du Suedois. What? What are Swedish bitters? Also called Swedish tincture, is a bitter and a traditional herbal tonic, the use of which dates back to the 15th century. Or even before.  Dear curious reader,
Did you ever imagine how spirits from the past taste like ? Sour ? Sugary ? Herbal ? Low or High proof ? How to find out ? If you do not have access to old manuscripts a good solution would be to meet Guillaume Ferroni (more HERE). The Marseilles-based bartender and distiller has not only knowledge but also a great collection of antique books (with many old liquid recipes) and on the top, he did put old spirits alive again. In this post, I’m reporting of a recent talk he gave at the Cocktail Spirits Paris 2017 : follow me into the most fantastic archeological liquid journey ! |
