2y08: Mexico City – Monkey 47, Prickly pear (Tunas)

The art of distillation goes hand in hand with chasing aromas and rendering them in liquid form – although alcohol is merely the medium, not the actual goal of the process.

It’s a form of conditioning that stands in contrast to our obsession with variety and innovation. Why do distillates and spir...

Delicate Delirium
A story about classic designs, the context of pleasure, and speaking without words

“ Dear Julia, we’re working with Lobmeyr on unveiling a new tumbler. Why don’t you get yourself to Vienna to have a look?” This was the basic gist of the job they gave me. I have to admit, my expertise in glasses up to that point was limited to “Mum’s good champagne flutes – the ones with the gold around the rim – don’t go in the dishwasher” and a mnemonic for somme...
Proboscis Monkey
Nasalis larvatus
HABITAT Proboscis Monkeys live along coasts and riverbanks in gallery forests, mangrove forests, and lowland rain forests.

BEHAVIOUR Proboscis Monkeys are diurnal forest dwellers that are most active during the afternoon and evening. They spend their nights in trees immediately adjacent to significant waterways. Thanks to their partially webbed feet, they are...

After starting our effort to acquire the Holy Grail of ageing barrels back in 2016 and spending two years pleading our case, we finally secured the right to purchase five of these prized vessels.

Sad but true
10 year anniversary

All right, we admit it: the idea of selling empty bottles is more than a little out there. Of course, that hasn’t halted our plans to do exactly that for our 10-year anniversary. The circumstances that gave rise to the idea are at once sad and alarming. In biological terms, we humans are also primates – but not one of the 283 species that are currently threatened with extinction. Indeed, our kind...
Bornean Orangutan
Pongo pygmaeus
