“Whisky born in a grappa cask” - Investigating eRètico at Brennerei Psenner 🏔 🍷 Grappa, Gewürztraminer, Great Drams - three G's to sum up Brennerei Psenner. Back in April, I spent an afternoon in the Alps with Werner Psenner, where I got to learn about how grappa and wine-making around Tramin shaped the development of eRètico single malt. Come take a look on our blog to learn more! 👍

Strada Ferrata: Smoked Malt and Whiskies On-The-Way to Milan 🔥🥃 ‘What can be our signature?’, Marco asked me during my visit to this Italian distillery. From my international perspective, ‘Italian whisky’ and ‘PUNI’ are often seen as synonymous terms. At Distilleria Strada Ferrata , new styles of Italian whisky are showing just how wrong that is. Ferment-focused, malt-focused, and craft-inspired. It's not like any single malt you're used to, and that's why you need to take a look at On The Way! Thanks Andrea, Marco, Barbara and the team for my visit back in April 😄 #ItalianWhisky #OnTheWay #SingleMalt

It might have been two months since I visited, but I hope you'll agree that this blog was well worth the wait! Farthofer turned out be more than I was expecting - and I was already expecting a lot! Thanks so much to Josef Farthofer and Doris Farthofer for allowing me this very special day to see their distillery and try their fantastic mostello and whisky. Also thanks to Jasmin Haider and the other Austrian distillers I met that day for their kind reception

Elegant Craft Whisky from the Breton Countryside: Naguelann 🌳 In some ways, this distillery is the one which germinated the idea of EuroWhisky in my head back in 2017!   Recently, I attended the first Malt in France salon in Rennes, a small festival dedicated to French whisky which I would highly recommend to anyone! The following day, I had the chance to visit NAGUELANN Distillery and see the source of this Breton dram which had pulled me into the world of European whisky... Merci beaucoup encore pour votre temps, Lénaïck LEMAITRE ! #Whisky #EuropeanWhisky #WhiskyBreton

Thanks to a bit of luck and the generosity of some Austrian distillers, we now have a review of 7 whiskies from the first Austrian whisky makers live on the blog! Ever seen a dark roasted rye... or a dark rye malt? A peated rye whisky?! I got to try single malt, rye, and rye malts from Destillerie Haider, the first whisky makers in the country - read on at the link below to learn more about these intriguing drams. There'll be more on Austrian whisky coming soon from EuroWhisky, including Destillerie Farthofer - until then, thanks for checking out the blog, and thanks to Jasmin for these whiskies!

English Single Malt from the Welsh Marches - Henstone Distillery 🐔 HENSTONE DISTILLERY LIMITED isn't the biggest name in English whiskey but I'm very glad I got to visit! In October last year, I was lucky enough to drive up there with my mother. We were met by Henry, son of the distillery's owner, and he took me through a tour and tasting - read all about it on the EuroWhisky blog! #SingleMalt #EnglishWhisky #Oswestry
