TASTING - Whisky Club Nantes, 02.04.26
Very happy to have come back to Nantes a second time for a tasting with the local whisky group! Sharpens my French a wee bit, and let's me present 3 great drams for this engaged lot:

NEW BLOG: A Green Scene on Halloween: Local Barley and Unique Terroir In the Welsh Wind 🥃🏴🌬️
Why not spend Halloween traveling deep into West Wales? Winding west from Shrewsbury on the train, I retraced steps I last took in 2019, heading to Aberystwyth
I'll post a video of me trying these and making some Welsh Cakes soon - and these distillery visits are next in line for the EuroWhisky blog ✍️
What do you think of Welsh whisky / whisgi cymreig? Have you tried some besides Penderyn?

DYDD GWYL DEWI HAPUS 🏴🌼🥃
It's St David's Day, Wales' national day, and lovely weather here in the Netherlands. What better time to open up the two minis I brought back with me from my last trip to Wales - one from Da Mhile , the other IntheWelshWind 😀

Would love to hear any responses/comments on this - I'm serious about this potentially being a useful way to start codifying what whisky terroir is! 👍
#WhiskyBlog #EuropeanWhisky #WhiskyTerroir #Terroir #FarmDistillery
That's not long enough to properly outline what I really think about whisky terroir, so I have taken time to build up this piece, adding more detail and ideas 🌾🌽
Now (with almost 8000 words!) it lays out an 8 point model of whisky terroir, and takes time to explain exactly what that would mean 🔬

Last year, my piece about whisky terroir was published in Whisky Magazine (Issue 207), but it was only 1900 words long
and all the other staff helped me turn a few mistakes at the start of my visit into a great education
Basque culture, whisky history, geography, whisky markets...
A great addition to the world of European whisky, and one with a clear identity which is only improving with time 👍

A little chance to be nostalgic about bold and impractical ideas from my earliest days in whisky too...
NEW COUNTRIES ON THE MAP - 900 DISTILLERIES 🗺️🥃🥳
The number of distilleries on our European map slowly crept up last year, and nearly 18,000 people have viewed it now...
With a few recent additions, we broke the barrier of *900*! 🙌
Some clips from my trip last summer to see Tosh Distillery in Olomouc! What a privilege to see such an old (and yet new) distillery, a beautiful city, and a fantastic pub/whisky bar, The Black Stuff !
#SingleMalt #EuropeanWhisky #TheBlackStuff #WhiskyBar #CzechWhisky
Not to mention stopping by The Black Stuff, Olomouc's famous whisky bar which deserves its great reputation. Thanks to Jiri, Petr, and Zdeny!
A few trains, trams, and buses later, I was standing in Těšetice, the true genesis / ground zero of Czech whisky!

As soon as I finished visiting R. Jelinek in the morning, it was off to Olomouc on the train. Leaving the edge of the Carpathians, I headed for this historic Moravian city to see a much smaller Czech distillery
