This week in The Nightcap: Diageo\u2019s boundary-pushing plans for Scotch whisky<\/a> innovation come to light, Cognac<\/a> house Louis XIII creates the world\u2019s largest crystal decanter, and a Brazilian spirit distillery stakes its claim in Kentucky.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Haggis? Toasted. Bagpipes? Piped. Drams? Relished. Last night, revellers across the globe got busy celebrating the life and work of 18th-century Scottish poet Robert \u2018Rabbie\u2019 Burns. There was whisky<\/a>, poetry, ceilidhs, the occasional deep-fried Mars bar \u2013 and a distillery milestone to boot. But we\u2019ll tell you more about that later, because it\u2019s time to reflect back on blog-shaped goings-on…<\/p>\n

This week we brought you the recipe for the World\u2019s Best Martini<\/a> following a gruelling competition in London, delved into the past, present and future of \u2018drinking <\/a>vinegars\u2019 with Nonsuch Shrubs, and reflected on how the world\u2019s first \u2018female\u2019 bar list highlighted gender imbalance in booze<\/a>. Oh, and the world\u2019s biggest privately-owned spirits firm (Bacardi) bought the parent company of best-selling ultra-premium Tequila<\/a> brand Patr\u00f3n<\/a> for a whopping US$5 BILLION<\/a>. Can\u2019t forget that.<\/p>\n

Diageo\u2019s \u2018secret\u2019 plans for Scotch whisky innovation hit headlines<\/h3>\n

How do you feel about Tequila cask-matured Scotch whisky? Or a low-abv \u2018Scotch whisky infusion\u2019? It\u2019ll be on the market soon enough if Diageo gets its way, according to the Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a>. Its report details a \u201chighly confidential\u201d document from a \u201csecret task force\u201d formed by the drinks giant aimed at shaking up the staid Scotch whisky category. The news comes as Diageo enjoys stronger-than-expected first-half results, reporting a 58% surge in Tequila sales (largely down to its super-premium Don Julio<\/a> brand) and 15% growth in gin<\/a> during the six months to December 2017.<\/p>\n

Spirit flows for the first time at GlenWyvis Distillery<\/h3>\n

Dingwall-based distillery GlenWyvis<\/a> marked Burns Day with a milestone of its own, producing its very first run of new-make whisky \u2013 bringing distilling back to the Highland town for the first time in over a century. Not only is GlenWyvis the world\u2019s first 100% community-owned distillery, it\u2019s also entirely powered by sustainable energy. John McKenzie, founder and managing director, says: \u201cThe GlenWyvis connection with Burns \u2013 through the old Ferintosh Distillery that once operated just outside Dingwall, and which Burns lamented the loss of in his poem Scotch Drink \u2013 made [it] a fitting date to bring whisky distilling back to Dingwall.\u201d Gin is set to follow on-site in spring.<\/p>\n

\"Nightcap\"The world’s largest crystal Cognac decanter. Image not true to scale<\/i><\/center><\/p>\n

Louis XIII debuts \u2018largest crystal Cognac decanter ever created\u2019<\/h3>\n

And it costs a measly $450,000, would you believe it!? This nine-litre masterpiece, named Louis XIII Le Salmanazar, was made by crystal experts Baccarat using more than 15 kilos of crystal. It took in excess of 20 master crystal-craftsmen and a master sculptor to craft this humongous decanter, so they\u2019ve only made one of them, which is fair enough really. Don\u2019t expect to see it on MoM any time soon \u2013 it\u2019s currently chilling at the exclusive Louis XIII Boutique in Beijing.<\/p>\n

Move over bourbon: New Kentucky distillery to produce Brazilian spirits<\/h3>\n

Kentucky and bourbon<\/a> are almost synonymous \u2013 almost, because a new face is coming to town, and it looks like cacha\u00e7a<\/a>. Yep, Ambrabev (US importer of Esperito Cacha\u00e7a and Boteco Vodka) is constructing a 10,000-square-foot Brazilian spirits-focused distillery and warehouse in Danville, complete with a 4,000 square foot tap room and gift shop. The new facility will allow the company to bottle imported cacha\u00e7a and cane vodka<\/a> in-house, barrel-age cacha\u00e7a, and produce flavoured vodkas as well as gin made from sugarcane. It\u2019s expected to be completed by spring this year…<\/p>\n

The Benevolent launches #NotAlone campaign<\/h3>\n

The lovely folk at The Benevolent have kicked off a new mental health awareness campaign, and we reckon you should hear about it. #NotAlone aims to encourage anyone who is working (or has previously worked) in the UK drinks industry to open up about mental health issues within the workplace, and reach out for help, support and advice whenever needed. \u201cI cannot imagine what it must be like to be living with depression, severe stress and anxiety and having nowhere to go or no one to talk to,\u201d says Chris Porter, chief executive of The Benevolent. \u201cMental health issues are not restricted to class, race, gender, sexual or religious orientation \u2013 it can affect anyone at any time in their lives and our trade is no exception. I am very proud that we are announcing this campaign today, to help those that are impacted by this and for them to know that they are not alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
