Carpathian Single Malt’s Post

Measuring the success of Carpathian Single Malt Whisky can be achieved through various channels, but one of the most important, is winning medals at prestigious spirits competitions and they don't come much larger or more renowned than the The Global Spirits Masters Competitions | GSMC Masters - The World Whisky Masters 2024. We are so thrilled to announce that in the European category, Capathian Single Malt Whisky expressions of Vradiano & Peated Cask Strength received Gold medals, whilst Feteasca Neagra & Cognac Cask finishes received Silver medals. Why so important? The Global Spirits Masters Competition is one of the world's most highly regarded series of blind-tastings. Judging is divided into category-specific competitions to ensure each entry is given the utmost attention by specialised judges. "Our single malt whisky continues to excel beyond Romania's borders, impressing the palates of judges, experts and consumers worldwide. Such great results in such a prominent competition really makes me proud" Allan Anderson, Master Distiller & Whisky Director - Alexandrion Group. #carpathiansinglemaltwhisky #romaniasfirstsinglemaltwhisky #romanianmaltedbarley #singlemalt #spiritsindustry #thespiritsmasters #thespiritsbusiness #spiritscompetition #spiritsjudging #blindtasting #whiskytasting #spiritscollection #spiritslovers #beverageindustry

Every coffee lover knows Brazilian coffee is one of the best in the world, but have you ever wondered about the journey this heavenly brew takes to get from the lush farms to your favourite mug each morning? 🌱☕️ In this commercial I had the pleasure of producing for Café Santa Clara, we had the unique opportunity to bring this captivating story to life directly from the verdant coffee farms and bustling processing plants in the Northeast of Brazil. Our aim? To not just showcase the brand's rich coffee but also to immerse our audience in the authentic process that makes each sip so special. One fascinating insight that I discovered was about the coffee beans themselves. Did you know that when you pick a mature coffee bean straight from the plant, it tastes surprisingly sweet? This little nugget of information delighted our team, and everyone wanted to try it! It's these unexpected details that truly enrich one's appreciation for the final, roasted perfection we enjoy daily. Creating this commercial was a journey in itself, akin to the path each coffee bean travels from farm to cup. It was a reminder of the art, the science, and the myriad of hands that contribute to our morning rituals. It's always nice to bring a piece of the Northeast of Brazil, a region that doesn't always get as much attention as it deserves, and its coffee-making magic to screens around the country. I'd love to hear your thoughts or any coffee-related stories you might have. How does coffee inspire your day, or have you had a unique coffee experience during your travels? Share your stories in the comments below—let's celebrate our mutual love for coffee together! #CoffeeLovers #BrazilianCoffee #BehindTheScenes #ShareYourStory #NotBeforeMyCoffee

Whisky Rarity Fuels Soaring Prices and Investor Interest The prized Scotch whisky industry is booming like never before, with collectors and investors clamouring to get their hands on increasingly scarce and valuable bottles. Rare whiskies have become a hot commodity, with prices at auctions skyrocketing in recent years. Just last year, a bottle of The Macallan 1926 60-Year-Old sought by collectors worldwide sold for a staggering £2.2 million at an auction in London, smashing the previous world record. Distilled in 1926 and aged for 60 years, only 40 bottles of this legendary single malt were ever produced. "Rare whiskies have become liquid gold for investors" said Colin Fraser, a whisky specialist at Sotheby's auction house. "The demand is being driven by the limited supply and by whisky drinkers in emerging markets who are willing to pay top prices." The whisky investment craze shows no signs of letting up, with the total value of rare bottles sold at auction in the UK jumping over 60% in just the last year alone according to industry experts. Bottles from lost or ghosted distilleries that closed decades ago are among the most coveted. For wealthy whisky aficionados and investors alike, it seems the quest for the perfect aged dram has become a obsession that money can't easily quench. The real spirit of Scotland's national drink may have finally met its match.  #WhiskyInvestment #rarity #AgedWhisky #barrelaged #investment
