Time certainly flies when you are adventuring in the world of drinking. It feels like only yesterday we were dispatching the cider issue to the far corners of the known drinking world amid the bleak UK winter. And here we are already amid the bleak UK spring and what have we achieved? Well, plenty actually, as you ask. We have been diligently beavering away at the next issue and we’re pleased to announce that the end is nigh.

For issue three we have been up to our necks in all things whisky – it has been a terrible hardship, you can imagine. So what can you expect? You can expect a very thorough schooling in the murky, subversive past of everyone’s favourite rebel spirit, on these islands and across the Atlantic. 

We’ll be seeking out the water of life in Sweden with Mackmyra, in Japan with Nikka – even in England for God’s sake. We’ll be teaching you how to drink it and curing the after-effects. And, sacrilege, we’ll probably be drinking it with wildly inappropriate mixers.

But, it’s not all whisky. There will be flaming cocktails, there will be picnic wine, there will be barrel-aged beer and there will be obscure liqueurs. There will be poetry, there will be literature, there will be fine dining. There will be all manner of boozy plantlife – from shrubs to herbs to trees. And there will be revelations about the drinking habits of Hollywood actor Brian Cox.

It will be full of ripping reads, it will look beautiful, it will feature the work of some very talented illustrators and it will be with you in June. We have now sold out of both issue one and two and are taking pre-orders for Issue 3 in our shop.

Scroll on down for a sneaky peek into a work in progress.
