🥃 Unlocking the World of Cask Terminology! 📚 Casks might seem complex but understanding a few key terms can make it a whole lot easier. Let's break it down: First-fill: Imagine a cask that once held sherry and is now filled with whisky – that's a first-fill sherry cask. If it's used again, it becomes a second-fill, and so on. Anything after the first-fill is often called a 'refill cask.' Single Cask: Most whiskies blend multiple casks to create specific character and flavour. However, some bottles come from a single cask – aptly named single-cask whiskies. These gems rely on wood, spirit, and time to work their magic, delivering some of the finest whiskies out there. Cask Strength: Typically, whisky is diluted before bottling to popular strengths like 40%, 43%, or 46% ABV. But cask-strength whiskies are bottled straight from the cask without dilution. They offer intense flavours and strength, and here's the bonus – you get to decide how much water to add. Don't hesitate to experiment; a few drops can turn any dram, cask strength or not, into your new favourite. 🌊🥃

Hard seltzer without the hard stuff? 🥤 Recently, I've flexed my CPG muscles and participated in a few conversations about the "healthy" soda category and other functional beverages. I've worked on quite a few beverage brands (with and without alcohol) in my career and have seen the pendulum swing back and forth and back again towards certain health trends. The more things change, the more they stay the same. And I thought there were no new ideas until I saw this: https://lnkd.in/gaph-kkA Hard seltzer without the hard stuff? So in other words...flavored seltzer. Like La Croix, Bubly, Polar, and hundreds of other smaller, regional brands around the country. Right? Or am I missing something? 🍻 A good friend works for a local beer distributor and sells White Claw 0%. According to her, the insight into the creation of this product was that people who do not drink alcohol or want to drink less, still want to “fit in” in social situations. Considering recent trends, I can buy that explanation. The White Claw 0% can is the same color as the White Claw Surge can, so I suppose it would help non-drinkers blend in easily with the crowd. And as the behemoth brand in the category (almost $2B in 2023), I guess White Claw can bring whatever “innovation” they want to the market. I wonder if Truly, Bud Light, etc. will follow suit. But this still feels very strange to me. What do you think? Comment below ⬇ James Partner Volker Lemmer Claudia Oberlin Nigel Tordoff Russ Abstein

Civet's are a key selling point in the coffee industry across southeast Asia. Despite this, more often than not there is false advertising present where coffee is labelled as 'wild' when in fact it was either collected from captive civets or has not come from civets at all. There will be more uncovered about the truth of the civet coffee industry, in our upcoming documentary! #CivetCoffee #KopiLuwak #TheCivetProject #WorldCivetDay

A helpful reminder this morning from M&S that no matter how good your service or product may be (see generic fruit salads) there are always small tweaks which could be made (removing melon) that can open up your product or service to new clients or customers or vastly improve said service for exisiting clients (like me, a melon hater). Never be afraid to look at the way you do things and make a change or adaptation. A small change could make a big difference. I also appreciate:- 1. The wonderfully clear naming - reducing my time spent reading ingredient lists or trying to look through the packaging to work out what's in there. Plain English wins again. 2. That there must be fellow melon haters out there... #lawyer #clientservice #plainenglish

It is always important to focus on mutual gains or interests when entering into negotiations. The best parable on negotiations involves sharing an orange 🍊. The obvious approach from many people is simply to cut the orange into equal halves with each person getting a fair share. However, if parties begin to negotiate, exchange information about their interests, the best solution becomes clear. A party that is into making lemonade may only be interested in the orange peels (orange rind or skin) and the party interested in making orange juice may only be interested in the orange juice.The two parties may even further become creative and agree to coorporate and plant an orchard. It takes expertise to come up with the best negotiated agreement 🤝 #thebestnegotiatedagreement #paraninternational #collectivebargaining #mutualgains #interests
