Although humans have been making whisky for hundreds of years, with whisky production in Scotland recorded as far back as the 1400s, the techniques used in terms of distillation and aging have evolved significantly in that time. While historical records are murky on the exact origin of the spirit, a guide from Scotland in the 1920s clearly lays out traditional practices in its production. Now, a group of Scottish distilleries has produced a series of whiskies based on these techniques.

The independent bottler James Eadie is releasing the Project 1927 series based on the book The Distillation of Whisky, 1927-1931. The distilleries Ardnamurchan, Dornoch, Holyrood, InchDairnie, Lochlea, and "An Unnamed Farm Distillery in the Heart of the Kingdom of Fife" have contributed to the project, each offering a spirit using techniques from the book as overseen by whisky expert Dave Broom and former Master Distiller at The Glenlivet, Alan Winchester.

Oktoberfest beer steins

There are a handful of drinking-centric holidays celebrated throughout the world. Like St. Patrick’s Day and Cinco de Mayo, Oktoberfest is not only a popular drinking holiday, but its origins are also a mystery to most of us hoisting frosty brews and eating schnitzel, sauerkraut, and currywurst. While we’ll get into the other holidays in later articles, today is all about Oktoberfest.

For those unaware, Oktoberfest is the biggest beer festival in the world. But it’s so much more than that. There's a giant carnival as well as multiple tents featuring food, music, and beer (Spaten, Paulaner, Augustiner, and more). Usually celebrated in late September through early October every year (except for a handful of years off for wars and COVID), more than 6 million beer fans descend on Theresienwiese (Theresa’s meadow) in Munich, Germany.

It seems like everyone is getting into mezcal these days, from the spirit popping up at local bars to big celebrity names getting in on the mezcal action. The latter is the case with Dos Hombres Mezcal, from Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, who shared a love of cocktails while working on the series.

If you're just getting into mezcal, though, you might wonder how to best make of it. While high-end mezcals are typically sipped, they can also make for great cocktails. And though there aren't all that many classic cocktail recipes which feature mezcal, one great tip is to try subbing mezcal in for tequila in your favorite mixed drinks.
