It’s all about the experience! In Barcelona this summer we had the most incredible trip of dissecting the world of elBulli. From visiting great restaurants to meeting chefs and Ferran himself, it was a week experience to never forget.

The Barcelona Group

In Japan this November we uncovered the mystery and exclusivity of Japanese whisky. It opened eyes, palates, and passions.

Our Group in Japan

Our Guest-Chef Dinners try to bring some of that magic from abroad to home, where we can enjoy it year round. We hope you enjoy it as well!

Our @rascalandthorn Water of Life Collaboration Tour continued to Glenglassaugh Distillery. Such great hospitality by Stewart Buchanan, Global Brand Ambassador. A visit to the Sandend Beach, full Distillery Tour and a fabulous tasting and feast to end with. What a great afternoon! The Sandend tasted like the beach!

We started our 2nd @rascalandthorn Collaboration Whisky Tour with @wateroflifefilm with a visitor to Tormore Distillery in the Speyside Region of Scotland. It was really an incredible visit to the distillery with one of their Senior Distillery Managers, George, who took us through everything in detail. Then off to barrel making, hands on, and a trip to the water source for more drams! And to sample from the spring. A great way to kick off our 2nd Tour with @weedrambigman.
