“Foglie al vento” di Aki Kaurismäki è una bellissima storia d'amore tragicomica, ironica e malinconica, un'ode dedicata agli ultimi, ai reietti e a tutti coloro che, nonostante le avversità della vita, non smettono mai di sognare. 
Una fredda e inospitale notte finlandese, si rivela scenario inusuale per un incontro di due solitudini, quelle di Ansa e Holappa: uno sguardo d'intesa, un numero perso, l'alcolismo e appuntamenti mancati, ostacoleranno la loro voglia di felicità. Kaurismäki porta sullo schermo tutta la sua tristezza esistenziale senza nascondere però un forte desiderio di disperato romanticismo. “Foglie al vento” è ostinatamente sincero nel raccontare i nodi dell'anima, nel comprendere i silenzi altrui e nel dichiarare amore eterno per i sentimenti umani. 

Per questa visione si consiglia un buon bicchiere di “@saentismaltwhisky - Edition Himmelberg”, un single malt svizzero prodotto ad Appenzeller: un whisky elegante e strutturato, capace di avvolgere il palato con lunghe note speziate, dolciastre e fruttate, che rimandano a sentori di zenzero candito, pera matura, cannella e note tostate. 

Un abbinamento ispirato anche al World Whisky Day (18 maggio) capace di interpretare e rendere omaggio all'eleganza minimale, estetica e umana della pellicola di Aki Kaurismäki. “Foglie al vento” è disponibile su Now Viva il cinema!

Whisky lovers around the world celebrated World Whisky Day Saturday. The holiday was created a dozen years ago by whisky writer and consultant Blair Bowman, and we'll check in with him on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. He's been involved in several major controversies affecting the Scotch Whisky industry, from protesting the planned Deposit Return Scheme now scheduled to take effect next March to fighting a proposed series of marketing and advertising restrictions for whiskies and other alcoholic beverages. In the news, we'll have an update on new whiskies released for World Whisky Day, while the owners of Justins' House of Bourbon have paid $3,000 in fines to settle charges brought by Washington, DC liquor regulators. We'll also have tasting notes for new whiskies from Jack Daniel's, Michter's, and Glenglassaugh.

Eind 2019, toen ben ik verhuisd. Miko Heinila, een van de 5 founders van de Kyrö Distillery Company, was toen op bezoek bij me thuis. Tussen het inpakken en verslepen van de verhuisdozen nam ik dit gesprek op en toen... toen verloor ik de SD kaart. TNiet zo lang geleden vond ik deze terug en het leek me enorm jammer om dit gesprek over een van mn favoriete distilleerderijen ter wereld niet meer te gebruiken. World Whisky Day wordt elk jaar op de derde zaterdag van mei gevierd, en is zo'n beetje het kleine broertje van de international whisk(e)y day, wat dan weer jaarlijks op 27 maart doorgaat. Any reason to raise a glass is a good reason in my book! Deze World Whisky Day, dit jaar op 20 mei 2023, gebruik ik dan ook graag als aanleiding om deze whisky en gin distilleerderij in het hoge noorden even in de picture te zetten. Kyrö Distillery Company is een van mijn favoriete distilleerderijen ter wereld: ze maken er distillaten op basis van Finse rogge: single malt whisky, gin, longdrinks (ook wel eens longkyrö genoemd in Finland) en een dairy cream. Het is het gevolg van een uit de hand gelopen sauna sessie -100% in lijn met Finse tradities-, maar wel met gevolgen die de whisky wereld er alleen maar op verbeterd hebben. In Finland en daarbuiten! Miko vertelde hoe alles is gelopen tijdens en na die -ondertussen legendarische- sauna avond. Schenk jezelf een dram (een glas) whisky in, of wat je maar wil, en geniet! Kippis!

And a few more bits besides.We kick things off by mixing up a Black Manhattan. No, we hadn't heard of it either but now that we've tried the delicious rye and amaro based cocktail, we're definitely keeping it in our repertoire. It sets us up nicely for our two tastings – the first of which is Botivo, a bitter and herbaceous non-alcoholic aperitif, the second is Renais, a gin distilled in England but inspired by Burgundy.Our bar review sees us heading East to the recently opened, oh-so fabulous Equal Parts in Hackney and as for our library pick, well, that takes us to the US for 'Bourbon: The Story of Kentucky Whiskey' , Clay Risen's beautiful box set.Then it's time to talk whisky without the 'e', with our very spacial guest, Colin Dunn, Whisky Ambassador at Diageo.

Blair Bowman thinks there is something magic about whisky, and when you look into its history, it's hard to argue with him. "A single cask, single malt whisky, is totally unique," he tells Stefan Gates in this episode of the Table Talk podcast. "The fact that a cask is organic, means every cask is different. If you try one that you like and there's only going to be 200 bottles from that cask, once they're drunk it's extinct.  "You can't recreat that. That's the magic of whisky." There's no doubting that Blair knows his stuff. He is the founder of World Whisky Day, author of the bestselling "Pocket Guide to Whisky: featuring the WhiskyTubeMap", and he holds the world record for the most distilleries visited in one day. Whisky is booming at the moment, with production surging into new territories including Japan, India, and even the Arctic Circle! But how did we get to this point? What were the key events that shaped the drink we have today? And where might the whisky market be heading? Blair takes us on an historical tour from the very earliest distilleries on record (and those before proper records began), through illicit trade, and changes in technology. We also ask if the Scottish whisky industry is helped or hindered by the strict regulations that it's governed by. Listen to the full episode to find out why whiskies made with the same ingredients and the same process can taste so wildly different, how problems in France led to whisky taking off as a globally popular drink, and how the escapades of two Scottish brothers brought the industry to its knees it the 19th Century. We also get some tips on how to get the most out of tasting different whiskies. And Stefan gets a treat, taking part in a taste test. Blair Bowman, Founder, World Whisky Day Blair loves introducing whisky to the world. He's the founder of World Whisky Day and has hosted hundreds of private and public events and tastings around the world (complete with his own innovative twists).  He shares his expertise and passion as a whisky industry commentator for TV and radio, on screen in documentary films and TEDx talks, and in print, with a monthly column in Scottish Field Magazine and as the author of the bestselling Pocket Guide to Whisky: featuring the WhiskyTubeMap. Blair is also a whisky consultant and broker - and a Scotland Food and Drink, Food Tourism Ambassador. He is a proud Scotsman living in Edinburgh. He has visited countless distilleries and holds the world record for the most visited in one day (a whopping sixty!), served drams to thousands of people all over the world, including Ambassadors and Royals, and sourced rare casks for private clients, high net worth individuals, family estates, and even Academy Award winners.  Wherever he goes, he loves to show people that there's more to whisky than they might think!

In 2012, a 21-year-old Aberdeen University student called Blair Bowman created a global celebration called World Whisky Day. Hundreds of thousands of people got involved, and the initiative continues to flourish. Meanwhile Blair has gone on to establish himself as one of the UK's leading writers, experts and consultants on whisky. As we begin an occasional series of episodes exploring key sectors of the Scottish economy, who better to give us a fascinating overview of the state of play of the Scotch whisky industry. Slàinte!

May is whisky month in Scotland, an entire month dedicated to celebrating all things whisky related and next Saturday the 15th of May is World Whisky Day so, in this episode I'm going to talk about three of my favourite whisky distilleries. In a country full of whisky distilleries, there are actually more than 130 here, it was quite a challenge to choose just three but here goes. The first distillery I'd like to tell you about is also Scotland's oldest working distillery, dating back to 1775. It's Glenturret Distillery in Perthshire. I love the history here and the very friendly staff. The distillery is now owned by a Frenchluxury lifestyle company so some changes are being made which include a fancy restaurant and there's also a great visitor centre with a gift shop where you can bottle your own whisky and find a range of good quality Scottish gifts as well as a lovely cafe with comfortable seats and great coffee. Keep a look out for the distillery cats called perhaps a little unimaginatively, Glen and Turret. Or even better, get your photo taken next to the statue of a World record breaker cat, Touser the Mouser, a distillery cat who is said to have caught 28,899 mice during a 24 year reign! Apparently she lived so long as she had a wee dram of whisky added to her milk every night, Pretty amazing, wouldn't you say?Moving on,The island of Islay, also known as the whisky island is the location of another favourite distillery of mine, Laphroaig has got to be one of my all time favourite whisky distilleries and it's a favourite for many reasons. First of all, There's a lovely welcoming and relaxing atmosphere here. It's also right next to the sea with the waves lapping at the distillery buildings. Inside there's a free exhibition explaining a bit about the history including the fact that Laphroaig was the first distillery to be owned and run by a woman in the 20th century, Bessie Williamson. Bessie had visited Islay on holiday from Glasgow but ended up applying for a job as a shorthand typist at Laphroaig, she never returned to Glasgow eventually taking over the business in 1954. There are of course distillery tours you can go on and they have a wonderful loyalty programme where you can become a friend of Laphroaig by buying a bottle which entitles you to a square foot of land across the road from the distillery. You can print out your certificate showing the co-ordinates of your square foot, choose your country's flag, borrow a pair of wellies and head off to claim your land. After all that exertion, you can relax in the comfortable lounge while enjoying the view- pure bliss! Don't forget to claim your rental payment too– a miniature bottle of Laphroaig!Finally,I'd like to tell you about one of Scotland's newer distilleries, Annandale in Dumfrieshire It opened in 2014 and the first ever whisky was released in November 2017. Although it's quite new, it has actually been the site of whisky production for many years and was a Johnny Walker distillery from 1886 until 1918. It has been carefully restored and is well worth a visit. There's even a special tour occasionally available where you can be taken around by the owner himself, David Thomson as well as the regular distillery tours. We love the coffee shop with it's beautiful wood interior and kids will love the Belted Galloway highchairs, The Belted Galloway is a famous black and white cow in this area, there's also a great gift shop specialising in “Made in Scotland”produce.So that's it, my three favourite distilleries. As you can see whisky production has a long and interesting history so I hope that you get the chance to visit one of our fascinating distilleries one day. That's all for this week, thanks for listening, see you next time. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/adventuresinenglish/message

On this week's episode of Scran, we partnered with Johnnie Walker to celebrate 200 years of the brand. On this episode, host Rosalind Erskine is joined by Head of Whisky Outreach at Diageo and the author of ‘A Long Stride’, Nicolas Morgan. Published this year to coincide with the bicentenary, the book takes a look at the history of Johnnie Walker, exploring how it grew from a humble grocery store in Kilmarnock to the global brand it is today. Rosalind is also joined by author and whisky consultant Blair Bowman. He is widely known for founding World Whisky Day and listeners of Scran will know that Blair has featured on the podcast before. Blair chats about what blended Scotch is (and the difference between blended malt), his favourite Johnnie Walker drinks and, of course. his desert island drams.

Hur brittiskt kan det bli med ett uttryck som "Teaspooning"? Vi tar reda på vad tusan det är. Dessutom både ris, ros och smisk på World Whisky Day och en snabbvisit på destilleriet Blair Athol.

Dagen hittades på 2012 av Blair Bowman. Tre år senare sålde han dagen till gänget bakom spritmagasinet Hot rum cow. Dagen är en sådan kommersiell succé att de sedermera gjort sig av med spritmagasinet för att satsa benhårt på att göra den här dagen stor. Whiskybranschen är förstås hyperkommersiell och vi lever i en kapitalistisk världsordning oavsett om man gillar det eller inte – men om man vill känna att man inte är en fullständig nickedocka för de kommersiella krafterna kan man gärna bojkotta den här tramsiga dagen. Och istället uppmärksamma originalet, International whisk(e)y day som annonserades 2008 och lanserades officiellt året därpå. Denna dag hedrar den legendariska whiskyskribenten Michael Jackson och är på hans födelsedag, 27 mars.

This week, we'll talk with two people who have turned their passion for whisky into careers. Tracie Franklin is one of the newest brand ambassadors for Glenfiddich, but worked her way up through the ranks for many years before joining William Grant & Sons several months ago. Blair Bowman started a whisky club at his Scottish university, then founded World Whisky Day before becoming a writer and whisky consultant. Next month, he'll try to set a world record by visiting 60 Scotch Whisky distilleries in a single day...just a few days before his first whisky book is published. We'll meet them both on WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Lagavulin's 200th anniversary charity bottling raised more than $730,000 for Islay charities, while 200 bottles of Buffalo Trace's O.F.C Vintage Bourbons raised almost $1.2 million dollars for non-profit groups in the U.S. We'll also have details on the week's new whiskies and an update on construction work at The Macallan's new $245 million distillery in Scotland.
