The Paul John Whisky founder Mr Paul P. John was in London. Adam got to speak to him. Their conversation isn’t focused on the usual “India is an emerging whisky nation” because that story is already old. See what they did talk about on the blog: bit.ly/4366ZNQ

World Whisky Day feels like a very fitting time to reveal our Top 10 whiskies of May! 🥃 From English rye whisky to Japanese Coffey malt whisky, this month's selection feels like a delicious trot around the globe 🌍 What are you trying first? 🥃 #worldwhiskyday

National Cocktail Day is the perfect time to celebrate the unsung hero of the spirit world, moonshine. @OleSmoky have been pioneers of bringing that legendary kick-in-the-mouth feel into the modern day. And this range is just the best base for slow summer sipping cocktails!

Vermouth doesn't always need a cocktail recipe. Just a bottle, some ice and a bit of citrus. Lovely! 🧡 Send this to someone you want to slow sip @Cocchi1891 Storico Vermouth Di Torino on ice with!

What started as an idea in 2017 saw the start of production for Spirit of Birmingham, Birmingham’s very own whiskey distillery. Guest blogger Dave caught up with the founders where they chatted current plans, and their future ambitions Read about it: bit.ly/4f2EZBV

Angel's Envy bourbon, @Cocchi1891 vermouth and Angostura bitters. The perfect Manhattan combo! Rich caramel and vanilla from the whiskey, herbal sweetness from the vermouth, and a bitter edge to pull it all together. And you don’t need a mixology degree to make it 🥃

There’s a sweet spot in the day. A moment somewhere between logging off and deciding what the evening is actually about, where a drink just makes sense. Enter The Aperitivo Hour ☀️ Here's a couple of our favourites, check out their recipes: bit.ly/48Dqpgj
