Distillers should be making their own base spirit from scratch if they want to be considered craft or artisan producers, according to Hurdle Creek Still founder Simon Brooke-Taylor.

Base spirit matters in gin, says brewer & distiller Simon Brooke-Taylor

Drinks Adventures is a new podcast for adventurous drinkers of beer, wine, spirits, cider… and everything in between. The impetus for the podcast is the many exciting trends we are currently witnessing across all categories of premium drinks. Winemakers, brewers and distillers are increasingly experimenting and collaborating with one another on products that blur the definition of what’s in your glass like never before. Such hybrid products are playing to drinkers who are increasingly open-minded and adventurous and enjoying a wide array of different drinks to suit different occasions, rather than identifying with one particular category. Today’s drinker is consuming less alcohol overall, and instead spending more on higher quality products that deliver on flavour and are underpinned by authentic stories. The people who produce and champion these fine drinks are the talent you will be hearing from on this podcast. Drinks Adventures is produced and hosted by drinks writer James Atkinson.
