Distilled. Issue 8

In Issue 8 we explore the bucolic chintz of England’s Cotswolds, ‘craft’ distilling in Midleton, Ireland, and take ease in the sylvan glade that is Daftmill, Scotland’s only single farm estate distillery. We visit Switzerland in search of green fairies (and blue absinthe), and unveil the mystery behind whiskey ‘distilled in Indiana’. Dessert is a dish best served cold; what better ending than the wit and wisecracks of Dorothy Parker?

Distilled is an independent magazine that showcases the craft and culture of fine spirits, including their makers, their terroir and their stories. All of our features are original, independent works specially commissioned for Distilled, published twice per year in the spring and fall. Issue 8 is 96 pages and perfect-bound, printed on 80lb Supreme Gloss.
