Introducing Today: New Make Index
New make spirit is not whisky. Legally, technically, definitively, it is just not. And yet it is the origin of every single malt you have ever loved, every single cask that has ever moved you, every distillery that has claimed a corner of your palate.
The New Make Index – or NMI – is my attempt to build a framework for scoring new make. Read more about it!

Long Pour Amour: Single Malts & Tall Tales
Welcome to my enhanced whisky blog under a brand new title: Long Pour Amour. Early in 2024, I embarked on an odyssey. Not the odyssey through the world of whisky; that is already a two-decade long journey on which the travel will be forever going. No, the odyssey I speak of is the journey into the fascinating world of blogging. Blogging about whisky, but also connecting via social media with whisky lovers all over this beautiful blue marble … it has been a blast. And a discovery! While tasting fantastic or at least interesting whisky, I also needed to find out what my tone is. My online whisky identity. With valuable feedback from readers like you, I have refined the mission, which brings us here, to Long Pour Amour.
