🌡️ Demain #lundi, la #chaleur sera exceptionnelle dans le sud. La barre des 40°C sera frôlée en Aquitaine, entre les Deux-Sèvres et la Charente. Des records de chaleurs pour un mois de septembre seront battus sur certaines villes (#Niort et #Cognac par exemple).

Camus #Cognac has launched The Alexa Camus Golden Vines Scholarships to improve #inclusion of historically marginalised communities within the #Spirits industry.
5 scholars will be funded through WSET Spirits courses from level 1 to 3, before being welcomed by Camus for a 5-day, intensive immersion in Cognac, including the distillery, the vineyards, the cellars and the production.
Applications open today and will close on 21 August:

Burnt Faith, #London's first dedicated #Brandy distillery for 200 years, isn't simply copying #Cognac but exploring what they can do with the spirit when not bound by the French AOC rules.

I have a super nerdy question about #Cognac maturation.
I was talking to a brandy distiller who said he aged spirit in very large oak barrels — c. 10000L.
His aim was mini. wood contact and max. oxidation, all to boost the formation of rancio character as much as possible. Tiny amounts could be added to each blend to bring up the complexity.
He called this "beneficateur" but I've been unable to confirm this term (or indeed this practice) through googling.
Can anyone help?
I'm off to visit Burnt Faith this afternoon, supposedly the first dedicated brandy distillery in London for 200 years. Or was that in the UK? Anyway, you get the idea.
Does anyone know of any other distillers making grape (not apple) brandy in the UK at the moment?

Came across this video of a visit to Maison Ferrand's distillery at the Château de Bonbonnet and... oh my... now I really want to go for myself.

La diversité des informations qu'on peut trouver dans la presse ancienne est...impressionnante ! Comme ici dans l'Impartial du Finistère (1847-1883), numéro di 14 avril 1860 où il est question de découverte de barrique d'alcool, de victimes de Robespierre ou d'une annonce pour recruter un imprimeur.

First Prescription Julep of the season. The mint is in its prime right now.
Pierre Ferrand 1840, Rittenhouse, and a Smith & Cross float.

C'est l'heure de l'apéro ! Ce soir ce sera la découverte de la brasserie #Jukebox de #Cognac qui propose la #LiquideSunshine, une #sour #ale bien équilibrée qui n'arrache pas la bouche. C'est très intéressant au niveau des goûts ! #Biere #Beer #CraftBeer #BiereCraft

Fight Club (1999) was pretty awesome. Definitely one of my favorites.
At one point Pitt's character tells Norton's character "I look like you wanna look, I fuck like you wanna fuck..." Actually, I think I wanna look like [1999] Edward Norton looks. And I think I want him to fuck me. And/or I want to fuck him.
Anyway, I just had my hot bath (as I usually do) sipping on a cognac (which I rarely do).
Life is good.

Nightcap is a #Stinger tonight. This one with Pierre Ferrand 1840, and a mix of Get 31 and Branca Menta.
Good, but I think I prefer just the Get 31 if the ratios are right.

Perhaps not the right season, but couldn’t resist making a Prescription Julep in my new julep cup. Still not as cool as @mdoudoroff’s amazing julep cup though.

Vorig jaar is wereldwijd minder cognac gedronken dan in 2021. Toch was 2022 het op twee na beste jaar voor de cognacindustrie. Ondanks de daling van de verkopen ging de omzet van de bekende dranksoort juist omhoog.
