NEW ON THE GIN RADAR

NEW ON THE GIN RADAR

June 20, 2017 · by Karina · in Delhi, In the news, Mumbai, Universal Spirits

Here’s what’s in store on the Indian gin-scape. As fascinating histories go, few spirits can hold a candle to Gin. The Dorian Gray of the beverage world has had quite the murky past, with monikers like ‘Mother’s Ruin’ and ‘Poor-man’s tipple’. Bootlegging,…

  • Still reeling from a gin-soaked weekend. These from the Monkey47 Masterclass at the smashing Gin Explorers' Club by @foodtalkindia - we expected 25 but had more than double! Your enthusiasm makes this 'work' so fun. 'Ex Pluribus Poonam' 🙈 
Say Aye if you were there.

  • So apparently it's Margarita Day. Three people reminded me of that. And who better than @limantourmx Mexico, No 11 of the World's Top 50 Bars to mix their signature Margarita Al Pastor for me? 🍹
The team is taking over the bar tonight at Cirrus9 at The Oberoi New Delhi 5pm onwards. Head on over. 'The bar is open. So is my heart' 🇲🇽

  • Enjoyed this Islay dram last night with founder @wills8312. 
Being from Islay, Kilchoman (Kil-ho-man) Machir Bay is peated but at a much milder intensity than the usual (Ardbeg, Lagavulin). There's a fair bit of fruit and floral beyond the smoke which makes it, in my opinion, quite a modern single malt from Islay. 
Available in Delhi(Rs.9800) and Mumbai(Rs.11000) through @the.vault.collection 🥃
The distillery was set up in 2005 (one of the newest in Scotland) and as far as most distilling practices go Kilchoman is as traditional as they come. And yet the liquid itself shows a new-age approach. Together, a nice blend of old and new. 
Also, at a time when so much of the single malt conversation is about moving away from age statement whiskies, it was great to understand Kilchoman as an example of what skill and quality distilling/ageing can do to craft a relatively young Scotch. @kilchomanwhisky

  • New craft beer alert: Kati Patang is a 'Zesty Amber Ale' - desi brand brewed in Bhutan. What do you think of the name?
🍺
Pours out a lovely copper with a healthy head. Malty with citrus and caramel aromas, the flavours of which carry through on the palate. I like that it's extremely sessionable but there's enough there to keep an Indian craft beer drinker happy. A very pleasant, moderately bitter and nutty finish rounds off this lovely brew. Available in Delhi @ RS 170/pint. A definite try; I really enjoyed it. 🍻
The founding couple is based in Delhi but discovered that brewing the beer in Bhutan allowed them to be most true to the natural, craft product they wanted to create. So happy that these folks launched with a style not readily known or accepted here currently. I hear there's more off-beat brews in the works shortly. @iamkatipatang

  • I'm not one for dates really but realised yesterday that February marks a year of me being associated with Monkey47.  So many great people, places and projects along the way, 'out of many, one' drink to bind them all and a lot more to come.

  • The Great Wave of @cottonopolis_manchester.

Throwing it back to this inspired cocktail in Manchester. Scotch, sea buckthorn, pastis, egg whites and Katsushika Hokusai's famous work printed on rice paper.

  • There are 3 types of people in the world:
- Those that want a 🍓 in their Champagne
- Those that hate 🍓 in their Champagne
- Those that know that the true gift is Champagne and don't care about anything else. 🍾

Which one are you?

  • Grabbed this Mortlach Special Strength at the Delhi Duty Free this week at 50% discount. If you're looking for some very decent duty free deals now (until March end) is a good time to scout the otherwise super premium malts. 🥃
I haven't tasted much of Mortlach's luxury bottlings so I'm not aware of a distillery style really but this one, made for travel retail, is big, rich and intensely spicy and ripe. Bought for around Rs.5400 on half price. Still expensive for 500ml but I'm glad to have it in the collection.
