Competitions, Medals and Awards - Too Much?

Competitions, Medals and Awards - Too Much?

What is going on with all these whisky awards and competitions?  Do they mean anything to consumers and do they offer a guide to purchasing when many smaller craft distilleries find the costs of entry too great to participate.  Respected writer and collector Philip Morrice from My Whisky Journeys raised some interesting points that we expand on.

Cooking With Gin - Martini Mussels

Tasmanian produce, whether it is from the sea, farms or orchards is amazingly good and is recognised nationally and internationally.

The small batch spirits distilled at Nonesuch Distillery are made with the care and attention to detail that ensures they continue the gourmet tradition of other Tasmanian producers.

When there are such great ingredients available it is just natural to match them for a foodie delight.

Dirty Martini MusselsThis recipe uses delicious mussels from Tasmania's pristine East Coast waters and wonderful Tasmanian olive oil along with our Tasmanian Dry Gin to create a dish based on the classic Dirty Martini cocktail.
(By the way, a true Martini uses gin. .... always gin)

The botanicals used in Nonesuch Dry Gin add a subtle richness to this dish.
