WHISKY MAGAZINE Numero 56

At Whisky Live Paris, we asked ourselves an almost existential question: in the history of whisky, how did we go from single malts to blends and vice versa?To get an insider's view of how a distillery works, Philippe Jugé put on his overalls for us at Warenghem.Then we went to meet a key figure, Nick Morgan, Director of Whisky Promotion at Diageo, to talk about the present, the past and the future.Finally, as you may have noticed, we've revamped the magazine's layout.Who said whisky wasn't on the move?
Could it be that gastronomic specialities are part of the DNA of their country of origin? What about our French products, and in particular our spirits, which are at the heart of our interest?To find out more, we set off to discover Spirit Valley and report from Pas-de-Calais.Finally, you'll discover that some passionate professionals have decided to bring French-style cocktails back into fashion.It's a red, white and blue issue, but not the only one, with an interview with Charles Rolls, the 'reinventor' of the Gin Tonic, and a fascinating article by Dave Broom on the agave war that's shaking up mezcal and tequila!
