What do “marks” denote? 🤔 Distilleries cre What do “marks” denote? 🤔

Distilleries create specific rum formulas classified by their mix of flavours, which are derived from different types of alcoholic compounds, called “congeners”. In a quantitative way, the number of congeners (made up of esters, aldehydes, and superior alcohols) creates the specific bouquet of each rum. 

The combination of these congeners, or flavour molecules, contribute to the identity of the spirit and can be measured according to an index measuring esters in grams per hectolitre of pure alcohol. The index has a legal limit of 1600 gr/hlpa for Jamaican rum.

All distilleries used to have a specific portfolio of formulas for the sale of rums sold in bulk. Each distillery could replicate a specific formula by adjusting the raw materials, fermentation, and distillation processes.

Born in the home of temperance. FEW boldly claim 1 Born in the home of temperance. FEW boldly claim 100% grain-to-glass.

While Evanston’s history itself led to the creation of FEW, the biggest inspiration for Paul Hletko was his own family history. Paul’s grandfather owned a large brewery and after losing the brewery to the German invasion he fought the remainder of his life to get the brewery back. When his grandfather passed away, Paul decided to start a distillery of his own.

In 2011 the FEW Distillery opened and since then has produced award-winning spirits 🏆 that are original, distinctive and playful. Find out more in #TheNavigator2022 (link in bio) and get a free copy when purchasing from www.spiritssouthafrica.co.za

Inspired by pre-prohibition times, the golden age of spirits has arrived - now available on www.spiritssouthafrica.co.za (link in bio)

FEW Spirits is made up of equal parts, craft and courage and always 100% grain to glass. 👌

@fewspirits uses locally sourced grains, aged in American oak barrels, and bottled in American-made glass bottles. The distillery makes its spirits using three stills, a rarity among production facilities of its size. The whiskey originates in a Vendome still used for initial distillation, and then a 1,500-liter hybrid still is then used to finish them.

There’s no doubting Mauritius is one of the most There’s no doubting Mauritius is one of the most beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean, and when Mark Twain – who penned the above in his diary 🖋️– visited the island in 1896, the island’s hills had long been covered in lush fields of sugarcane.

In 2006 La Distillerie de Labourdonnais diversified into rum production, by taking advantage of the relaxed government regulations. Today the distillery is renowned for its diverse portfolio of column-distilled rums that take full advantage of all that the estate has to offer.

Remarkable MHOBA rum, a small-batch spirit ferment Remarkable MHOBA rum, a small-batch spirit fermented and distilled in the lush hills of eastern South Africa is now available on www.spiritssouthafrica.co.za 

While some of Robert Greaves methods are unconventional, MHOBA's combination of unique terroir, site-specific cane and inventive distillation and ageing has seen this craft distillery grow an enormous following. 🫶

Greaves brings an engineer’s curiosity and the entrepreneur’s flexibility to the rum-making process, but despite his engineering background, his distillation remains more art than science. He makes his cuts by taste and intuition, sampling every fraction to build a mental image of the spirit as it flows from the still.

Situated among the rolling hills of the Onderberg Situated among the rolling hills of the Onderberg district of Mpumulanga, MHOBA rum is 100% pot distilled from fermented sugarcane juice.

The “Farm to Bottle” aspect of @mhoba_rum is not a meaningless moniker. From owning the land where their sugarcane is farmed to manufacturing their sugarcane press, their fermentation vats, stills, and labels - Robert Greaves and his team do everything themselves. Although they might be reliant on certain materials, they know their distillation equipment back to front (after all their stills were self-designed and self-built)! 😮

Mezcal is gaining ground on tequila. While the two Mezcal is gaining ground on tequila. While the two Mexican spirits are both made from agave, that's where the similarities end. #WorldTequilaDay 🇲🇽 

🌵 How do they differ?

- All tequilas are mezcals, but not all mezcals are tequilas. 
- They're made with different kinds of agave. 
- They're produced in different regions. 
- They're distilled differently.
- They're labelled differently.
- Real Mezcal does not add anything to the spirit such as corn syrup.

Utilising 100% natural agricultural methods that have been passed down through the generations, @mezcalvago harvests both wild and cultivated
agave that are selected for peak maturity by the master mezcaleros. Agave or “maguey” grows between 7-12 years before harvest. Varieties of maguey plants are then used to make different mezcals.

Love, Mezcal and almost drinking gasoline: The Vag Love, Mezcal and almost drinking gasoline: The Vago Story! 📖

15 years ago, Judah Emanuel Kuper was just trying to find breakfast. What he ended up finding was, paradise in the remote corners of Mexico where he immersed himself into the culture and tradition that would lead him to bringing back some of the finest mezcals to the rest of the world. Hidden, unknown, and a little bit dirty, Judah’s journey began with his buddy Dylan in Oaxaca where they crossed the zocalo and ducked down a narrow privada only to be overrun by young Oaxacanos graduates celebrating with banners, fireworks 🎆, and… gasoline cans! 

Pushing, shoving and the chanting of “Torna! Torna! Torna!” ensued and they drank from what appeared to be gasoline containers. Powerful and smokey, Judah had his first taste of mezcal. 

Single small batches of mezcal have been perfected by generations of mezcaleros, made on traditional family farms who now supply this incredible high-proof alcohol content exclusively to the Vago brand.

The selection this year covers the Scottish region The selection this year covers the Scottish regions of Speyside, Islay and the Highlands, all while paying tribute to sherry cask maturation, a technique particularly dear to @maisonduwhisky's heart ❤️ 

Here's a virtual taste (in our recommended tasting order):

👅 This Glenlossie offers up the wonderfully fresh, honeyed, and lemony palette of flavours and aromas. The balsamic and peppery vegetal notes then gain the upper hand on the finish.

👅 The Benrinnes reveals an impressively mature and fresh expression through the nose’s intensely floral character and the palate’s fruity temperament which precede a wonderfully chocolaty, roasted, and spicy finish. 

👅 The Caol Ila showcases the wonderful complexity afforded by the combination of peated malted barley and sherry wine. The flavour and aroma palette energetically reveals stunning fruity, chocolaty, malty, salty, smoky, peaty, spicy and floral sequences.

👅 This very typical version of Ben Nevis wonderfully illustrates the unique character of a single malt. The very nuanced palette of flavours and aromas is sculpted by a classic yet exotic oxidative fruitiness, a very subtle floral character, numerous aromatic plants, and spices.

👅 This version of Bunnahabhain begins by revealing the full breadth of its flavour and aroma palette with rare generosity and candour. Intensely malty, peaty, medicinal, salty and ashy, it is also wonderfully floral, fruity, honeyed and minty.
