WHISKY MAGAZINE Numero 42

WHISKY MAGAZINE & FINE SPIRITS - N°42 - Spring 2011

Every day, in the four corners of the globe, new distilleries spring up. These micro-distilleries usually produce several eaux-de-vie, all of high quality and in small quantities. It's a phenomenon that represents a real return to the roots of distillation. Hence our feature on traditional distillation. Who still does it in the world of whisky, rum and cognac? In this issue, we look at Springbank and craft distilleries in the USA, rums distilled in iron stills and the place of craft distillation in cognac. Not forgetting a fascinating report on mezcal and two fascinating encounters with Jim Swan and Gianni Capovilla, the Italian fruit brandy genius. Welcome to the wonderful world of Internationale Craft.
