The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Illustrator Steven Bonner recently designed a font set to help showcase the tasting notes found in Ballantine’s 12-yr-old Scotch. “C”, in this case, is for “citrus notes” — with an “O” for oak, and “V” for vanilla.
See more at Bonner’s website, and find out more about the project at Ballantine’s.
The Rolling Stones, of ‘the greatest rock and roll band ever’ fame, were formed fifty years ago this year. So, it only seems appropriate that the band should get their own booze — with Motörhead and Slayer already in the liquor business and all.
Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary Whisky is being released by Japanese liquor brand Suntory to help celebrate the milestone. The tongue logo-adorned bottle will be available in limited release (150 bottles) starting October 30th, and is a blend of malts distilled and casked during years that represent milestones throughout the band’s 50 year history.
