Understanding organic whisky - Decanter

Nov 14, 2024 | decanter.com | Anthony Gladman

Whisky legend the late Dr Jim Swan once described organic barley as an expensive waste of time. That was almost a decade ago and he was talking mainly about distillery economics. But did he have a point? We know organic farming increases biodiversity and improves soil health. ‘If you’ve ever visited an organic farm and a non-organic farm, you can see the difference in those fields,’ says Liam Hirt, co-founder of the Circumstance Distillery in Bristol.

Allora, time for a different spritz

Sep 5, 2024 | newsletter.anthonygladman.com | Anthony Gladman

Every now and then an idea comes along that you really want to write, but for one reason or another doesn't get to the finish line. Sometimes you just get unlucky: editors don't want it, or they would but they just published something similar, or the timing just doesn't work. I've got one such on my desk that first came to me in May. I thought it would make a great summer read but various editors were less keen.

But when it comes to the first of the summer wine, a fresh, crunchy red, maybe even a chilled red, can often be perfectly suited to a lunch or supper in the sun, especially if it involves a barbecue.
