IWD: In Praise of Maria the Jewess
Maria the Jewess and the invention of distillation Without the invention of the still, I wouldn’t have a job. The general historical consensus is that the first person known to have distilled alcohol was the great Arab alchemist Jābir Ibn Hayyan (c.AD 721-815). His part in the eventual invention of Gin is unsurprisingly the least of the accolades and perhaps on International Men’s Day, I’ll go into that further. Behind every great man is a great woman, but in the case of Jābir, there was a great woman about 700 years before him. Maria the Jewess. Maria lived in the Egyptian city of Alexandria and is considered one of the first people that wrote about alchemy.  What is alchemy? Alchemy isn’t the crackpot pursuit of turning lead into gold. Well, at least it’s not only that. Alchemy was a mixture of science, pseudo-science and philosophy and was the progenitor to chemistry and modern medicine. Western alchemy, the one we know the most about, was defined by its dogged pursuit of three

Boozy Books - World Book Day Special
World Book Day is upon us. In the UK, we celebrate this by either sending our children to school dressed as characters that might have a connection to literature or by pontificating about how tenuous that connection is. Essentially we get to engage in competitive parenting and snobbery, which people seem to enjoy. It hasn’t got much to do with reading. Anyway, it’s inspired me to recommend some books on drinking.   Best Book about the History of Gin Gin Glorious Gin by Olivia Williams There are lots of books about Gin. Most are feeble efforts designed as Christmas presents for the gin drinker in your life, cheerfully received but destined to be taken, unread, to the charity shop, but there are a few that are worth reading. History scholar and gin fan Olivia Williams manages to condense gin’s history into 300 pages but includes enough detail for it to come across as thorough and well researched, and Williams has a writing style that is accessible and witty. It’s anything but (Londo

Vintage: Old-is-New-Again Vineyard Practices
We’re talking about vintage as it pertains to something classic and enduring from the past, like the days of pre-industrial agriculture. In these fast-paced times, where technology is transforming the wine world, from augmented reality labels to AI-crafted wine blends, some things do remain – thank goodness. Contemporary innovations are paving the path, but the wine industry’s future is also grounded in the soil with vineyard practices based on age-old holistic farming techniques. Conversations around “revolutionary” vineyard practices point to…

Madhu Kanna and Indri Indian Whiskey
## An Interview with Madhu Kanna The podcast hosts an interview with Madhu Kanna, who represents Indri, a single malt whiskey from India, and Kamikara, a pure cane juice rum. Madhu shares his background in the spirits industry, having spent 18 years working with Indian beer and spirits companies, as well as a single malt distillery called Paul John. After taking a break from the industry, Madhu was approached by the owner of Piccadilly Distilleries, the makers of Indri and Kamikara, to join their brand. Impressed by the distillery's infrastructure and quality spirits, Madhu decided to get involved. The interview highlights Madhu's journey with Piccadilly Distilleries, starting in August 2021. By February 2022, their first consignment was shipped, and within a year and a half, they expanded to 16 countries. Madhu mentions their plans to be in 20-25 countries by the end of the year. In terms of the U.S. market, the first bottles arrived in August 2022, marking a year of presence in the c

I Drink Alone
   Is that a weird way to open a blog post?    Admitting that I drink alone?   Well, it is the truth and I wanted to write about my life more this year, even if it seems a little uncomfortable or difficult. My greatest success and growth has come from laying it all out for the world to see and releasing whatever is inside me that tries to bring me down into the darkness again, silence is my own worst enemy.   I think what I mean to say, without trying to downplay my lack of a social life outside my going to work or online, is that I enjoy my own company when I want to relax. After almost 4 decades in working retail, food service and general public facing jobs, I do feel worn down just a tad, the last 4 years have proven even more difficult with the rise of the selfish class, a special breed of hell mongers all their own. It has bled into almost every part of my day, the inward facing, sole spotlight seekers, to whom everyone must revolve for their existenc
