Why not spend Halloween traveling deep into West Wales? Winding west from Shrewsbury on the train, I retraced steps I last took in 2019, heading to Aberystwyth
I'll post a video of me trying these and making some Welsh Cakes soon - and these distillery visits are next in line for the EuroWhisky blog โ๏ธ

Would love to hear any responses/comments on this - I'm serious about this potentially being a useful way to start codifying what whisky terroir is! ๐

That's not long enough to properly outline what I really think about whisky terroir, so I have taken time to build up this piece, adding more detail and ideas ๐พ๐ฝ
Now (with almost 8000 words!) it lays out an 8 point model of whisky terroir, and takes time to explain exactly what that would mean ๐ฌ

Last year, my piece about whisky terroir was published in Whisky Magazine (Issue 207), but it was only 1900 words long

and all the other staff helped me turn a few mistakes at the start of my visit into a great education
Basque culture, whisky history, geography, whisky markets...
A great addition to the world of European whisky, and one with a clear identity which is only improving with time ๐

NEW COUNTRIES ON THE MAP - 900 DISTILLERIES ๐บ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฅณ
The number of distilleries on our European map slowly crept up last year, and nearly 18,000 people have viewed it now...
With a few recent additions, we broke the barrier of *900*! ๐
Some clips from my trip last summer to see Tosh Distillery in Olomouc! What a privilege to see such an old (and yet new) distillery, a beautiful city, and a fantastic pub/whisky bar, The Black Stuff !

Not to mention stopping by The Black Stuff, Olomouc's famous whisky bar which deserves its great reputation. Thanks to Jiri, Petr, and Zdeny!
A few trains, trams, and buses later, I was standing in Tฤลกetice, the true genesis / ground zero of Czech whisky!

As soon as I finished visiting R. Jelinek in the morning, it was off to Olomouc on the train. Leaving the edge of the Carpathians, I headed for this historic Moravian city to see a much smaller Czech distillery
