What is a Navy Gin? Technically, all gin with more than 57% alcohol is a navy ‘strength’ gin – taken from the era where gin and rum were stored in wooden barrels together with the gunpowder below deck. The high ‘proofing’ of 57% ABV was a safety protocol, should the gin barrels spilt and get into the gunpowder, then this higher alcohol content would ensure that the gunpowder was not spoiled, and it would still explode. The Navy Gin is a modern take on the style, with adventurous botanicals that are carefully balanced to take your palate on a course to discovery. https://lnkd.in/gwf5hxvi #PennantDistillery #Adelaide #SouthAustralian #Gin #SupportLocal #AdelaideDistillery #SeeSouthAustralia #CraftedtoPerfection

The choice of wood when cooking agaves underground is crucial in defining the flavor and aroma of MezcalTrascendente . Using oak and mesquite, woods with low resin content, ensures that the agave doesn’t become overly saturated with smoke. Oak, with its slow burn, provides a constant heat that allows the agave to cook evenly, bringing out its natural sugars without burning them. Mesquite, on the other hand, adds a sweeter and more robust flavor, but its low resin content prevents the smoke from overpowering the mezcal’s profile, achieving a balance between sweetness and smokiness. These woods, because of their low resin, allow mezcal to have a cleaner, more authentic character without overwhelming the agave with too much smoke. This is essential, as the balance between smoky flavors and the natural sweetness of the agave is what distinguishes a great mezcal. The combination of both woods adds depth and complexity to the final product without overshadowing the agave's natural qualities. In addition to their impact on flavor, using oak and mesquite is also natural choice. Both woods are native species to the mezcal-producing regions, allowing for a responsible and harmonious use of local resources fully respecting artisanal traditions.

🍇 Asia Minor, a large peninsula which forms most of contemporary Türkiye (Turkey), is considered to be one of the most ancient wine producing regions in the world. But its wines are yet to be discovered by drinks enthusiasts globally. With a total of 420,000 hectares planted, Türkiye has the 5th largest vineyard area in the world (OIV, 2021). But most of this vineyard land is used to produce fresh and dried grapes, rather than wine grapes. Despite its ancient winemaking tradition, only around 15% of the total vineyard area is dedicated to wine grapes. This places national wine production well below countries like Greece, Georgia and Romania. 🍷 While grapes are grown all around Türkiye, some regions are less suited to commercial viticulture. The central and eastern Black Sea coast experience excessive rainfall during the growing season, resulting in high disease pressure, while the eastern highlands, situated at 2,000-3,000 metres above sea level, are too high. ✨ Four areas collectively produce nearly 85% of wine grapes in the country (Turkstat, 2021). 💠 The Aegean is the country’s most important wine producing region, producing around 30% of national wine production. It has several subzones worth exploring: 📍Islands – Bozcaada & Gökçeada 📍Coastal Aegean – Urla, Selçuk, Bodrum, Datça 📍The Aegean Inlands – Manisa, Denizli, Uşak 📍The Southeast zone, home to the indigenous black grape varieties Öküzgözü and Boğazkere, comes a close second in importance. Look out for subzones: Elazığ and Diyarbakır. 📍The next two most significant regions are Thrace (subzones: North Thrace; Coastal Thrace and Gallipoli Peninsula) and Central Anatolia (subzones: Kalecik and Cappadoccia).
