Editors Letter: David Fisher

People often ask how I got into the world of blending, and it is a hard thing to answer quickly. Usually, this question is followed by more questions, such as, “What does your day-to-day look like?” and “How many barrels do you sample a day?”. Whenever I respond, I feel lucky to reflect on a different angle of my work. Having to figure out how to explain my incredibly niche job to people with varying understandings of the production world helps me get closer to answering an essential question: what is important to being a blender?By David Fisher, Senior Spirits BlenderRead more

To this day, every Tailored Spirit is uniquely created by our production team at our distillery in Sydney and then labelled by hand to order.
