How to Make the Best Lasagne alla Bolognese: A Step-by-Step Guide

Just a few examples of why Oban is such a special place. From the food to the history, and especially, the whisky. Our home town has so much to offer travelers from far and wide, as a ferry port and as a destination in its own right. Take a look at this recent article from The Scottish Farmer to learn more. https://lnkd.in/ekANfXxr

Today, we were delighted to receive an outstanding article about our dear friend—the one without whom Offrian would not exist today—the Legend: Don Pancho. We appreciate the kind words from Camilo Cesarino for The Rum Lab (with greetings to our friends Federico Hernandez). Don Pancho's significant contributions to the Rum Industry over the past 60 years are monumental and will be remembered. This moment also prompts us to reflect on Arturo Labarca, another esteemed figure in the world of rum, who is the originator of OFFRIAN RUM (OR). As we pay homage to both admired men, the Godfather and the Padre of Offrian, we express deep gratitude for what has been accomplished. Understanding our roots allows us to navigate our future more effectively. Thank you, Don Pancho, for a lifetime devoted to rum, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation for your unwavering support.

🌊 The Islands Region Highlight 🌊 >> https://hubs.la/Q02CLqvW0 The Islands are an unofficial whisky-producing region off the coast of Scotland, including Arran, Jura, Mull, Orkney, and Skye—but not Islay. Although the Scotch whisky regulations consider them part of the Highlands, these islands have a unique whisky character all their own. Historically, the Islands were hotspots for illegal whisky making, thanks to their convenient locations for smuggling materials and finished products. 🌿 Character of Island Whiskies: • Highly varied in flavours due to their diverse locations • Generally smoky and peaty • Briny notes reflecting their coastal origins Explore the distinctive and varied whiskies of the Islands. 🥃

I love this! Joburg chosen as the second best city in the world to eat out based on the glorious kota. I feel an affinity to the kota having successfully launched Parmalat cheese slices in the township space via kotas in 2005. Billions of rands worth of cheese slices now grace most kotas. The informal kasi economy has a huge influence now on cuisine as well! https://lnkd.in/dJ9pKeWK #kasinomics #kasinomicrevolution #informaleconomy

It is only quarter two of 2024, yet we are delighted to announce our second major Award success. At the recent 'London Spirits Competition', Carpathian Single Malt Whisky’s Madeira expression took a ‘Gold’ medal, whilst ‘Silver’ medals were awarded to our Feteasca Neagra, Vradiano, Ruby Port, Burgundy, Cognac, Amarone, Commandaria and Peated Cask Strength expressions. The multi-disciplinary judging panel made up of 40-members, analysed entries on the basis of Quality, Value-for-Money & Appearance and so we are very proud that so many of our expressions were selected. Dr Nawaf Salameh, Founding Chairman, Alexandrion Group said: “The London Spirits Competition holds much importance for us, firstly, in terms of the diversity of the judging panel, pulling together many leading figures in the spirits industry from varying backgrounds. And secondly, London and the UK is a key market for Carpathian Single Malt Whisky and the Alexandrion Group as a whole. It goes without saying, that I am more than delighted and proud that our flagship product continues to exemplify the best of what Romanian products can offer, using the innate qualities provided by through nature, culture and heritage”. #londoncompetitions #london #uk #spirit #spiritindustry #winner #carpathiansinglemaltwhisky #romaniasfirstsinglemalt #romanianmaltedbarley #singlemalt #romaniasfirstsinglemalt #romanianmaltedbarley #singlemalt #beverageindustry #spiritsindustry #singlemaltsociety #whiskylovers #alexandriongroup

Another new place. Scotland ALREADY IS the playground for the very rich. There are SEVERAL new, incredible places and several more, in planning. Amazing, World Class places. With a potential audience of hundreds of millions, it's time for Scotland to chuck £millions at Tourism infrastructure and Training. Tourism is our future, we need to forget about making Ships and having here-today-gone-tomorrow, crap 'Contact Centres'. Tourism, Scotch Whisky Tourism. Time to make EVERY Tourist put 'Scotland' on their 'bucket-list' and want to come here, for our unrivalled increasingly sophisticated (and expensive) offer. Nobody stops going to nice places, because they are expensive. Have you looked at Norway? The Italian Riviera? Monaco? Dublin? Don't listen to the Right Wing, 'self preservation society', Tourism Cabal, moaning. We need to do it NOW and not moan and 'have meetings'. I've been at these 'meetings' and they 'move on', when anything that might touch a nerve or involve change is spoken about! We can't exploit local staff as easily now and we have to Train and Pay people properly. Scotland needs to wake up to this. It's actually what we SHOULD be speaking about, not attending Garden Parties, at Holyrood Palace, thinking it's great. Less Hats, more Houses for staff. #scotlandisnow #ScotchWhiskyTourism
