Angels' Nectar Blended Malt Whisky 0.7L 40% History and production of Angels Nectar Blended Malt Whisky: Whisky lives from its long history and the many little legends that surround it. It is not uncommon for the name and taste of a whisky to go back to an interesting story or historical event. The myth of the Angels Share is probably familiar to most lovers, as it clearly illustrates how closely science and superstition are linked. The Angels Share, also known as the Angels' Drink, is essentially based on the phenomenon that a certain amount of liquid evaporates from the barrel every year during storage. The amount is more or less large depending on the climatic conditions and the type of barrel. Humidity also plays a major role. It can be observed that in Scottish warehouses, where the humidity is comparatively high and the temperatures are low, more alcohol evaporates than water. This means that the alcohol strength of the distillate decreases continuously over the years. In Kentucky, on the other hand, where bourbon is matured, it is very hot and dry. It is therefore not uncommon for more water to evaporate and the whiskey to gain in alcohol content. In the early days of whiskey production, the first distillers noticed that every year a part of their valuable goods, for which they worked so hard, went missing. They quickly suspected that the angels were secretly, quietly and discreetly tampering with the delicate contents of the barrel. This belief gave rise to the term Angels Share, which is still in use today. A truly amazing blended malt whiskey was recently released based on this Angels Share. Imagine being able to accompany the angels on their "raids". Of course, you would only choose the best and most exclusive barrels. With the Angels Nectar Blended Malt Whisky First Edition, you now have the opportunity to do so.

Elg Gin No.2 Gin not for everyone The Stone Range Distillery is already used to taking unusual paths with its first gin, Gin No. 1. With its second gin, the small Danish distillery takes a journey back in time to the 18th century and follows in the footsteps of a true explorer. Tom Chamberlain may have distilled ordinary gin in Victorian England, but in his free time he was always tinkering with new recipes in his well-equipped laboratory. Only particularly important customers of Chamberlain were allowed to taste these creations and when word got around about the existence of these special drops, everyone wanted to try “Tom Gin”. The reason the gin was so different was because of an alcoholic extract of the juniper berry. In the laboratory Based on the Elg Gin No. To create Gin No. 1, which consists of juniper, cardamom and carrots, master distiller Henrik Elsner, like Chamberlain, experimented and carried out tests which resulted in a dark, sweet and strong gin. The special thing about it is the naturally homemade juniper extract which is added to Gin No. 1 and thus enhances its sensory qualities. A wide variety of mixtures of juniper berries and alcohol strengths were tested until the final recipe was determined. The extraction process used is called maceration, in which the juniper berries are soaked in 50% alcohol for a month. During this time the alcohol takes on the aroma and color of the berries. After straining this mixture, at the end of the process there is an extract with a slightly reduced alcohol content which can then be used to refine the gin. Special then as now The extract now has a variety of aromas from the juniper plant which could not have been achieved through distillation. Used in the right proportions, this expands the aroma spectrum to include a particularly intense, fruity-sweet juniper aroma. The distillate is also no longer clear but has a violet color. The alcohol content has also shifted to around 46% vol. Gin No. 2 is therefore a pleasure to drink neat, and it is easy to understand why the gin from "Old Tom" was so well received.
