A happier life for Henry VIII's children. Part 2.

Elizabeth was the second daughter of King Henry VIII of England and his second wife Anne Boleyn. When the girl was 3 years old, the king annulled the marriage to her mother. Henry sent Anne to a convent and forbade Anne to communicate with her daughter, and soon afterward married Jane Seymour. She developed a close relationship with her stepmother, brother and sister. In 1547, her father died and Elizabeth was finally able to meet her mother. The meeting between mother and daughter after years of separation was very touching. When Anne saw Elizabeth, she could not believe that this beautiful girl was her daughter. First they cried for a long time in each other's arms, and then they sat up all night talking. They had a lot to say to each other. So their meetings became more and more frequent, and Edward allowed his father's second wife to stay with Elizabeth. In 1557 Edward VI began to look for worthy suitors from Protestant countries, for the hand of his sister, and his choice fell on the eldest son of the King of Sweden, Prince Eric. In the king's opinion, this marriage was to strengthen the sympathy of his subjects for him. In 1558, the princess became the wife of the heir to the Swedish crown, and 2 years later they became King and Queen of Sweden. It is said that at their first meeting the prince was so enchanted by her beauty that he lost the power of speech. Their married life was strong and passionate. For her husband Elizabeth became the most important confidante, with whom he discussed many problems. Six children were born in the marriage:

Gustav II of Sweden (1559 - 1605) Not interested in politics and never wanted to be king. Overthrown and killed by conspirators, including his own son Charles. Husband of Maria of Austria. Father of 4 children: Charles IX, Ludwig, Frederick, Elizabeth.

Anne of Sweden (1560 - 1634) Countess of East Friesland. At the age of 18 she married her cousin Enno III. The marriage was a happy one for both spouses. They became the parents of 9 children: Edzard III, Sabina, Agnes, Johann, Gustav, Rudolf, Christina, Sophia, Christian.

Magnus of Sweden(1561 - 1619) In 1582 he married his cousin Mary of England. They had 4 children: Nils, Katharina, Gunilla, Arnold. Magnus was widowed in 1590. And in 1592 he married his mistress Maria Oberg, but before that he received from his elder brother-king and his mother a permission to remarry. From his second wife he had 6 children: Magdalena, Sven, Hokon, Valdemar, Ingeborga, Svante.

Johan of Sweden(1565 - 1630) From childhood Johan was interested in navigation and discoveries. Therefore, he spent most of his life traveling, exploring lands not previously known. He was never married, however he recognized 3 children: Brita, Lars, Eric. And upon his death, he left each child a generous inheritance.

Cecily of Sweden(1567 - 1634) Macgravine of Baden-Rodemachern. In 1583 became the wife of Edward Fortunatus They became the parents of 5 children: Christoph III, Cecily, Elizabeth, Ottilia, Herman. In 1603, her husband died and Cecily was offered remarriage

Virginia of Sweden(1570 - 1606) Duchess of Holstein-Hottorp, wife of Johann Adolf. Virginia was older than her husband by 5 years, but despite this their marriage was happy. They had 7 children: Frederick III, Elisabeth, Conrad, Dorothea, Gedviga, Albrecht and Augusta. The Duchess died of childbirth fever a week after the birth of the last child. After the death of his wife, Johann lived the remaining 10 years until his death as a widower.

In 1568, the queen returned briefly to England for her mother's funeral. In 1577, King Eric XIV of Sweden died, and Elizabeth mourned her husband's death bitterly. But fortunately for Elizabeth, she had her children and grandchildren by her side, who became the meaning of her life. In addition, the Queen Dowager actively influenced the policies of her eldest son, King Gustav II. Gustav, weak-willed and indecisive, was not interested in ruling the state. In fact, the kingdom was ruled by Elizabeth, which did not please her daughter-in-law. Because of this, the two women often conflicted with each other. In March 1603, the Queen Dowager of Sweden died. She was buried in Uppsala Cathedral next to her husband. And 2 years later Gustav II was overthrown and killed. Her grandson Charles became the next king of Sweden.

Aperçu of the Week:

"We do not even ignore that..."

(Karl Valentin, Munich original at the beginning of the last century, who not only in my opinion founded the genre "comic" - with profundity...)

Bad News of the Week:

Germany is facing another turn of the times. This time, unfortunately, not for the better, because democracy and liberalism are increasingly in danger. The AfD (Alternative für Deutschland / Alternative for Germany) is getting stronger and stronger, sits in almost all state parliaments (except in Bremen and Schleswig-Holstein) and has turned from an EU-critical and right-wing liberal movement into a solid right-wing party with partly extreme right-wing features. The worst situation is in Thuringia: the state association has been classified by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution as "secured right-wing extremist," and its chairman Björn Höcke may officially be called a Nazi and fascist after corresponding court rulings.

At the same time, the current state government of Thuringia is a minority government consisting of the Left, the Social Democrats and the Greens. In a negative interpretation of the balance of power, this means a weak executive. In a positive interpretation, it means a strong legislature. What would normally be primal democratic is in this case rather un-democratic, because it gives more power to the AfD parliamentary group. Which could be outmaneuvered by all other parties with case-based alliances of convenience. And all these parties spoke of a "firewall against the right", one would never form a coalition with the AfD or even make common cause in individual cases. That's how it was. Until now.

Because this week, a bill from the conservative CDU was passed with the votes of the liberals and the AfD. Now you can't prevent the right-wingers from voting for a motion. And this is not automatically bad because they vote for it (this specific one, by the way, is, since the reduced land transfer tax costs the country more than 50 million euros a year). But now it turns out that there was apparently deliberate collusion between these three parties. For in the run-up, all three withdrew their items from the agenda in order to be able to box through this law without further parliamentary discussion on one day of the session. So the firewall collapsed. Or rather, it was wantonly destroyed.

What makes it particularly bad is, on the one hand, the accompanying legitimization of this fascist Nazi gang (yes, I'm allowed to write it that way) in the political process. Can't it be so bad after all, if it acts just like other state-supporting parties? And secondly it could also be a deliberate test balloon. Because currently the AfD is leading in election forecasts - next year there will be an election - with 34%, ahead of the CDU with 21%. In other words, a solid majority that also has the lowest rejection rating among voters.

I assume that CDU leader Mario Voigt is calculating that the AfD itself realizes that the time is not yet ready for a right-wing prime minister and that it could therefore make itself the kingmaker of the actual junior partner - with the aim of also preparing the ground for a corresponding constellation at the federal level. In other words, personal career goals instead of state political responsibility. I actually thought we were past that...

Good News of the Week:

California has always been a kind of country in its own right. Almost 40 million inhabitants with an enormous economic power - detached from the USA, the Pacific state would be the world's fifth largest economic power after the USA itself, China, Japan and Germany. In addition, it has an extremely liberal and sometimes even quite progressive society. Of all people, it was a Republican governor, megastar Arnold Schwarzenegger, who introduced forward-looking legislation on climate protection almost twenty years ago - in contrast to the other states. This is where the American dream is lived.

At this point, I should remind you that the U.S. justice system has various peculiarities. In principle: anyone can sue anyone for anything. With sometimes absurd financial demands. Since the decision-making scope of judges and juries is not based on any code, but on already legally binding reference judgments, and lawyers are often paid according to success, it is not uncommon for material to be created for films and TV series. In the past, for example, tobacco companies have been sued for health effects of smoking, and McDonalds for diet-related obesity. So a kind of proxy lawsuit against an entire industry.

This is now happening again: the state of California is suing fossil fuel producers ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, ConocoPhilips, Chevron, as well as the industry association American Petroleum Institute. Because of the environmental damage caused by their business, as well as the decades-long misleading of the public through "active misinformation" by deliberately negating or downplaying already-known climate impacts. Governor Gavin Newsom wants to "hold big polluters accountable." California's lawsuit seeks to establish a fund to cover the costs of future damage caused in the state as a result of climate change (such as from wildfires and flooding).

In doing so, this procedural goal is certainly accompanied by a corresponding public impact. Just as these days, after appropriate litigation, coffee mugs carry the warning "Content may be hot" or microwaves read "Not suitable for drying pets," perhaps gas stations will soon read "If you burn our fuel in your vehicle, it may harm the climate of this planet." In this case, not laughable (at least to Europeans), but good. Because public awareness in the U.S., at least outside California, of man-made climate change still leaves something to be desired.

Consistently thought out further, the burger joint would also have to say "For a burger pattie made of beef, 12 times as much water is used and 8 times as much greenhouse gas is produced as with chicken." And before purchasing a product online in plastic packaging, one would not only have to accept the privacy policy and cookies, but also the following statement: "I am aware that this packaging was derived from crude oil, will first contaminate groundwater, then kill marine life, and eventually end up as microplastics in my own food to cause cancer in my digestive system. But I choose to remain ignorant and to blindly maintain my personal lifestyles, making the earth uninhabitable for future generations. Because I live in the land of the free. Amen." But I must be dreaming a little...

Personal happy moment of the week:

A work colleague and friend of mine is from Syria. Due to various restrictions in his old home country and bureaucratic hurdles in his new home country, he has not been able to meet his parents for ten years. Now he received the relieving call: the formalities for German citizenship had been completed, the official notification is on its way, and he would soon be able to apply for a German passport. Then the whole family can come together in neutral Dubai at the end of December. I can hardly imagine a more joyful Christmas...

I couldn't care less...

...for the descent of the legendary "Lieberhof" in Tegernsee. This used to be a spectacular location (an old farmhouse with breathtaking views over the lake and into the mountains) with solidly good cuisine, where it was hard to get a seat. But then the owner changed. Now, of course, the ambience is still great, but the food is pretty bad with completely exorbitant prices for it. Probably because of that we still got a table for Saturday evening (!) without any problems. But that will have been the last time. And the first time that I gave a 2-star rating. Too bad...

As I write this...

...it's "O'zapft is!" (it's tapped) for the 188th time in Munich, as the mayor taps the first beer keg, officially opening the Oktoberfest. The world's largest folk festival attracts some 6 million guests from all countries every year, and during the two weeks Munich is in a state of emergency: visitors overcrowded with beer travel in overcrowded subways to overcrowded hotels. The beer is too expensive, the food too bad, the souvenirs and costumes Chinese fake. Well, if you like it...

Post Scriptum

More than 11,000 deaths are now confirmed in Libya. Yet the floods already hit a country with a ramshackle infrastructure and without a truly functioning state. And in addition to damage and suffering, they are now leaving behind contaminated drinking water, breeding grounds for infectious diseases, and exposed land mines. International aid has begun, but there is a lack of coordination and efficiency, as the local authorities (if they exist at all) are completely overwhelmed. Hopefully, this will not become an example...

Island 2021 - Tag 20 Teil 2

Herrschaften!

Wir machen ein kleines Päuschen in unserem Appartement, essen etwas und ein kleiner Power-Nap muss auch sein, bevor wir uns in den Süden von Reykjavik aufmachen.

Eigentlich war ja für dieses Jahr eine Whisky-Tour durch Schottland geplant. Durch die allseits bekannten, widrigen Umstände fiel diese buchstäblich ins “Wasser des Lebens”.

(Achtung: Schüttel-Kalauer! Das Wort Whisky kommt aus dem Gälischen und heißt nämlich Wasser des Lebens).

Aber, wer hätte das gedacht, auf Island gibt es auch eine Whisky Brennerei! Hah! Und genau da geht es jetzt für uns hin.

Die Destillerie Eimverk liegt in Garðabaer, einem Vorort südlich von Reykjavik. Und wenn wir uns hier so die netten Häuser anschauen, dann ist das hier der Speckgürtel von Reykjavik.

Täglich um 16 Uhr gibt es, nach Voranmeldung, Führungen mit anschließendem Tasting der Produktpalette. Und die Produktpalette ist unerwartet groß...

Unser Tourguide, der das Tasting veranstaltet, heißt Jón, hat ein gut sitzendes Toupet und führt uns zunächst durch die wichtigsten Punkte der Geschichte der Eimverk Distillery. 

Insgesamt sind wir 7 Personen, die dieses Tasting heute mitmachen. Ein Paar (man glaubt es nicht) aus Hawaii, ein weiteres Paar aus Wisconsin, sowie ein einzelner Herr aus San Francisco und 2 Deutsche - nämlich wir.

Der Single Man aus Frisco kommt uns verdächtig vor. Wir sind uns einig, das ist ein Professioneller! Der kennt sich mit der San Francisco World Spirits Competition zu gut aus, als das ein Laie könnte.

Los geht es erst einmal mit einem Gin Tonic, den Jón für uns kredenzt. Da winken wir schon ab. Wir nehmen nur den Tonic und ein Glas Wasser.

2009 gegründet, mit dem Ziel isländische Premium Spirits herzustellen. Die ersten vier Jahre widmete die Brennerei alleine der Entwicklung der Rezepturen.

Nur für den Whisky machte man 163 Test-Destillationen. Während der erste Whisky Islands in den Fässern lagerte, sorgte die Eimverk Distillery bereits mit anderen Bränden für Aufsehen. Allen gemeinsam: Sie sind Handarbeit!  

Seit 2013 produziert die Eimverk Distillerie nun Whisky, Gin und Aquavit in Island und leistet damit Pionierarbeit.

Der erste isländische Whisky wird „Floki“ genannt, nach Flóki Vilgerðarson der angeblich als erster Wikinger Island betreten haben soll.

Er soll angeblich Mitte des 9. Jahrhunderts auf die Insel gekommen sein und dort überwintert haben.

Nachdem er auf einen Berg stieg und das Treibeis um die Insel sah, nannte er die Insel Island, das „Eis-Land“. Iceland = Island.

Zu dieser Einführung gibt es bereits 3 verschiedene Gin und einen Aquavit. Das kann ja hier heiter werden und Micha redet sich gleich raus: “I´m the driver!”

Neben Floki produziert Eimverk nämlich Gin namens „Vor“, was "isländlischer Frühling" bedeutet.

Der Gin wird ebenfalls aus 100 % Bio-Gerste gebrannt und mit lokalem Grünzeugs wie isländischen Wacholderbeeren, Rhabarber, Wacholder, Thymian, Moos und Algen verfeinert.

Zur kurzen Erholung folgt nun der Rundgang durch die Destille. Wobei Rundgang jetzt etwas übertrieben ist, denn die Produktionsstätte ist wirklich winzig.

Produziert wird in zwei Räumen auf insgesamt ca. 200m². Die lokal angebaute Gerste wird noch direkt auf dem Bauernhof gemälzt und in die Destillerie in Säcken angeliefert.

Durch das raue, nordische Klima reift die Gerste langsamer und das Malz enthält weniger Zucker. Dadurch wird ungefähr 50% mehr Gerste benötigt, als in Schottland üblich ist.

Nach dem Mahlen in einer kleinen Malzmühle wird in sechs Paletten-Tanks gemaischt. Wer Mash-Tuns aus anderen Whisky-Produktionen kennt, wird hier echt überrascht!

Der vergorene Maisch-Brei wird dann nicht weiter behandelt, d.h. er wird nicht mit warmem Wasser ausgelaugt, sondern zur ersten Destillation wird auch das verbliebene Korn mit in die beiden Wash-Stills eingefüllt.

Diese Wash-Stills sind eine Eigenkonstruktion aus ehemaligen Milch-Kühlbottichen aus Edelstahl.

Mit der kleinen Brennblase aus dem deutschen Hause Arnold Holstein schaffen die Mitarbeiter 15.000 Liter an Output jährlich, den sich die Whisky und Gin Produktion teilen müssen.

Abgefüllt wird derzeit in frische Fässer aus amerikanischer Weißeiche, die aus Schottland bezogen werden. Die Fässer werden dann wiederum auf dem Bauernhof gelagert, der die Gerste produziert.

Derzeit lagern etwa 100 Fässer dort, in denen Whisky reift. Das Abfüllen, Labeln und Versenden der Flaschen erfolgt dann im zweiten Raum der Destillerie.

Die Young Malts von „Floki“ sind als rauchige und nicht rauchige Abfüllung   erhältlich.

Letztere hat es besonders in sich: Da es auf Island keinen Torf gibt, wird traditionell mit - errrheem - Schafsdung geräuchert. Lecker!

Natürlich auch das Malz des Young Malt „Sheep dung smoked Reserve". Eine ungewöhnliche Methode, die, sagen wir mal, sehr “spezielle” Aromen in den Brand überträgt. Ungewöhnliche Umstände erfordern eben Kreativität!

Jetzt folgt die zweite Runde der Verkostung mit insgesamt 7 (in Worten sieben) verschiedenen Whiskies. Ich nippe nur und halte mich kräftig an meinem Wasserglas fest, während die Amis nicht schwächeln. Dafür hauen sie immer schön Eis in den Whisky ..... 

Bottoms up! Die Tische sehen wüst aus. Für jeweils 2 Personen ist das ein amtliches Ergebnis.

Der Hasenbär findet auch wieder großen Anklang und bekommt von Jón sein eigenes Probier-Set zum mitnehmen für daheim.

Das ist doch super süß! 

Alle machen natürlich noch ein Foto vom Hasenbären mit dem Probier-Set, das ist doch klar.

Die Tour kostet pro Person 4.990 Kronen und dauert insgesamt knapp 2 Stunden mit limitierter Personenzahl. 

Wir finden das ist ein fairer Preis. Da haben wir schon in anderen Ländern deutlich mehr bezahlt.

Alkohol kann man hier übrigens nicht kaufen, das geht nur in speziell   lizenzierten Geschäften, im Duty-Free oder eben bestellen.

Dafür kann man allerlei Merchandise und sonstige Souvenirs erwerben. Brauchen wir aber alles nicht.

Die Amis stellen sich noch an die Theke und lassen sich kräftig nachschenken, wir machen uns diskret vom Acker.....

Heute Abend sind die Hubschrauber besonders aktiv. Die starten unten am Hafen und fliegen über unser Haus hinweg. Das deutet auf regen Betrieb am Vulkan hin - und tatsächlich, als wir den Fernseher einschalten (es gibt eine eigene Vulkan-TV-Show), sehen wir den Kameraden kräftig spuken. 

Gute Nacht

Angie, Micha und der Hasenbär

Princess Alexandra Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (1887-1957), c. 1930.

She was the niece of German Empress Augusta Victoria and was previously married to her first cousin Prince August Wilhelm of Prussia. On December 26, 1912, Alexandra Victoria gave birth to their only child, Prince Alexander Ferdinand of Prussia.

The couple divorced on March 16, 1920. August Wilhelm received custody of their son. On January 7, 1922, she married her second husband, Corvette Captain Arnold Rümann, in Grünholz . The marriage lasted eleven years and they were divorced in 1933.

Alexandra Victoria was trained by history painter , graphic artist and university professor Arthur Kampf in Berlin. During her studies, she also designed wallpaper patterns, made watercolors and studies with red chalk and pencil. During her first marriage, she ran two children's homes in Berlin selling her pictures. In 1920 she first exhibited her landscape paintings with views of the Glücksburg and the Flensburg Fjord and the area around Rheinsberg in the Flensburg Museum . From 1926 to 1932 she toured the USA with one Caravan and exhibited there, for the first time in New York in 1926.

 In the US, it sold during the period over one hundred paintings, including landscapes, flower pieces and portraits. In 1942 she exhibited an oil painting at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition in the National Gallery that showed white peonies .  After the Second World War , a boat-cabin-shaped caravan was built according to their information in a boat builder's shipyard in Kappeln or Schleswig.

She traveled with it and a dog through Europe and even Egypt, and sold her pictures for a living. In 1949 she drove to Wiesbaden in the caravan on a railroad car to heal a joint inflammation in the local Red Cross Hospital. In 1955 she traveled to Morocco alone. Her last trip was to France .

She died on April 15, 1957 in Lyon at the age of almost 70 years of sudden cardiac death. In the orangery of Glücksburg Castlefound in 1969 a memorial exhibition in her honor instead, which her cousin Prince Friedrich Ferdinand to House of Glücksburg arranged.

Shows to Binge During the Pandemic That Arent Breaking Bad or Fleabag

If you feel like you’ve already seen everything, here are some under-the-radar TV options to tide you over as we weather coronavirus together.

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

Being informed about the spread of COVID-19 and its devastating effects on the global community is critical. But we can all acknowledge that staying attuned to the news every waking hour has only heightened our collective anxiety and sense of foreboding. One of the few salves for those fortunate enough to have reliable WiFi and access to cable and streaming services has been the chance to catch up with TV shows that had previously passed us by and might offer momentary respite from the coronavirus and its attendant confinement. 

But before one more website or well-meaning friend reads you the riot act for having never seen Breaking Bad or The Wire, or parrots the popular thinking that Fleabag is comedy manna (not that it isn’t), we thought we’d recommend a handful of superlative, binge-able series that have been relatively neglected by the culture at large. And while living through fictional characters’ everyday circumstances might seem like a counterintuitive way to cope with a very real period of isolation, the five shows below might actually offer some useful perspective. (Click through each show title for access to it via Netflix, Amazon or Hulu.)

This little-seen, under-marketed Sundance TV gem from creator/writer Ray McKinnon has earned its share of critical praise and some cult appreciation thanks to Netflix but remains inexplicably sidelined from most popular conversation about great modern dramas. The premise — small-town Georgia man Daniel Holden (Aden Young) gets exonerated after years on death row for the murder of his high school girlfriend and attempts to reassimilate into normal life — might sound moribund. But Rectify abounds with soulful insights on guilt, innocence, love and loss. The cast (also including Abigail Spencer, Clayne Crawford and J. Smith-Cameron, etc.) are terrific in service of characters charting a hyper-realistic course toward solace and redemption against extraordinary odds.

Kudos to Starz for giving creator/writer Mike O’Malley’s groundbreaking dramedy four seasons to spread its wings. Survivor’s Remorse is nominally about pro-basketball star Cam Calloway (Jesse Usher) and his adaptation to life as an A-list celebrity, but it’s ultimately a dysfunctional-family sitcom with the outlaw spirit of Curb Your Enthusiasm and heart of Schitt’s Creek. That it never benefited from the latter’s groundswell of support is a shame, but it’s not too late to make good and — if nothing else — bear witness to Tichina Arnold’s (Martin, Everybody Hates Chris) career-best turn as the take-no-prisoners, wildly profane Calloway matriarch Cassie.

Nothing can prepare you for how weird this comedy/drama/mystery-thriller buddy series gets in a hurry. The broad strokes of Hap and Leonard are that it’s based on a series of novels by Joe R. Lansdale, set in the 1980s, features first-flight actors including Michael Kenneth Williams (speaking of The Wire), James Purefoy and Mad Men‘s Christina Hendricks. Purefoy is Hap, a conscientious Vietnam objector and smart aleck who literally pulls no punches. Leonard is his best friend, still scarred from having fought in the war and dealing with day-to-day life as an openly gay black man in East Texas. Over the course of three seasons, they find themselves in the crosshairs of lovestruck sadists, child killers and politically embedded Klansmen. They’re kind of like the Dukes of Hazzard, just far more tender with one another and up against much graver life-or-death odds. It’s not hard to see how this one was a hard sell, but trust us that it’s worth buying in.

You’d be forgiven for being out of the loop about creepypastas, which are basically internet-user-generated campfire stories that seeped into mainstream consciousness via forums like Reddit. (The infamous Slender Man tale is a frequently cited pillar.) But they also served as a bedrock for the SyFy network’s Channe Zero anthology series. Each of the four installments — from 2016’s initial Candle Cove to ’18’s concluding Dream Door — creates a Twilight Zone of its own somewhere between lucid dreams and waking strange, searching for closure to open wounds. It’s eerie, artful and the closest thing to what Nightmare on Elm Street auteur Wes Craven might have concocted for the 21st-century disaffected set.

We know there’s a lot on TV at any one time. Still, how exactly has this Dave Holstein-created weekly half-hour (currently airing on Showtime) that’s executive produced (and often directed) by Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind visionary Michel Gondry and stars his muse, Jim Carrey, not caught fire? Carrey plays Jeff, who also happens to play a Mr. Rogers-like character named Mr. Pickles on public television. He’s good and he’s decent, but he’s also burdened by a personal tragedy, pining for his ex-wife Jill (the terrific Judy Greer) and dealing with his tyrannical father/boss Seb (a never-better Frank Langella), the sum total of which culminates in what could be described as personal awakening by way of total breakdown. Kidding is, as the title teases, very funny, but without the cringy-ness and ironic distance typical of modern cable comedies. Carrey is excellent, but the show is an ensemble feat and has only grown more confident in its, and Mr. Pickles’s, mission of bringing joy and jarring candor to the masses.

Jim Murray, Author of Whisky Bible

Tasting Whisky, the right way!

You may like him, you may hate him, but the ‘god of whisky’ is here to stay and so is his ‘Whisky Bible’.

Jim Murray, a name familiar to the whisky world is known for his candid nature. I had a chance encounter with him in a whisky conference in Glasgow many years ago, then had a brief interaction with him during a tasting session that he conducted in Mumbai some years back. This time, I had caught him in action while he was on one of his ‘low-key’ visits to India to taste samples from Paul John Whisky’s cellars at the distillery in Goa.

The meeting was somewhat special as I was privy to a private tutorial from the man himself on tasting whisky, the right way.

Murray tastes thousands of whiskies every year, travelling all over the world and rating whiskies for ‘Whisky Bible’ (the annual guide book that reviews whiskies).

A journalist by profession, Murray rose to fame in the late 70s after he started visiting whisky distilleries, publishing tasting notes and rating many Scotch whiskies. The British writer gained popularity abroad when he rated Japanese, American, Indian, Taiwanese and Canadian whiskies highly; however, back at home; he faced criticism from the scotch industry on many occasions.

On a January afternoon this year as I walked into the newly built state-of-the-art visitor centre at Paul John Distillery in Goa, I had no idea that the trip would turn out to be so interesting. Michael John D’Souza, Master Blender and Master Distiller of Paul John Whisky greeted me at the entrance. While admiring the vibrant and colourful interiors at the visitor centre I was instantly drawn towards the ‘Wall Of Fame’ showcasing awards, accolades and a number of trophies. The conversation with D’Souza veered towards, ‘how recognition and ratings from ‘Whisky Bible’ have changed the course for Indian whisky industry and Paul John in particular’ when he informed me of Jim Murray’s presence at the distillery. I jumped at the thought of having a chat with Murray after the tour.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

By the time we were back from the visit, I saw Murray emerge out of a tiny room from the other the end of the corridor.

He didn’t seem to have aged a bit since our last meeting. With his signatory Panama hat on the head, it was hard to think otherwise.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, we settled down on one of the sofas as he complained of a persistent backache. Probably from spending long hours on a chair tasting the whisky samples or, maybe, the result of travels on the country roads, I wondered.

The man, in his sixties, shows the same amount of excitement and amusement that of a kid in a candy store every time he talks about whisky. He began speaking about the potential that Indian whiskies have and how he feels proud to have been able to identify the winners in them. When I asked him of the biggest challenge that Indian whiskies were facing, he replied, “It’s the perception of the Indian whisky-which still is of a poor quality spirit-in the international market. However, it has begun to change in the last few years”.

I requested him to let me take his picture in action in the tasting room. And, he agreed. He got up and did something strange. He said, “ I need to smell you” and started sniffing around a bit. But, then I realized the cause of this action. Because he tasted the whiskies in an almost airtight room, any additional aroma entering the area could dilute the tasting space.

We entered the room and I noticed hundreds of samples spread all over. His camera tripod came in the way as we made way to the desk. On his left, there was a glass partition, which overlooked the visitors’ tasting room. He said, “In 27 yrs. I have just had one holiday. When I am travelling around the world I take out some time to do Bird watching. That’s my hobby. And, that’s the only time I am on a break from tasting”. That explained the heavy camera equipment in that tiny room.

Behind his desk was a closed window. All I could smell and feel in the room was whisky and its warmth. I took the seat in front of him and asked, “How many whiskies do you taste when you visit India?” He replied, “Oh, probably thousands of samples in total. I taste different whiskies, different ages and different samples from several barrels from the two producers that I advise. The whiskies mature so fast in India, especially in here, everywhere else it matures very slowly. I help the distilleries here to keep an eye on the maturation of the whisky. Also, help them spot the right style for a whisky and its flavours from the samples. India is learning day by day. The Blenders don’t always necessarily know which whisky is going to work and which won’t. I give them the right direction”.

He began to pose for my pictures after pouring some whisky from a sample bottle marked with a barrel number. “Let me show you how you taste whisky. You must know it”, he said. He held the glen cairn glass in his right hand and began smelling the whisky. “Bring the hand as close to the chest as possible, hold the glass just under the right side of the nose, take a small sniff, let the spirit talk to you, now move the glass away and repeat the same process on the other side of the nose, all this while creating a triangle/ A shape with the palm. This helps in picking up different kinds of scents in the spirit with intensity, without overloading your senses”, Murray added.

I tried to repeat the exact same process but it took me a while to get it right. “What do you smell?” He asked. I spoke of the tropical fruit notes and some vanilla. He asked me to keep repeating the same process and pushed me to identify more and more layers of notes emanating from the glass. Then came the time to taste the sample. He continued, “Take one sip of the whisky, keep it in your mouth and roll it and spit. Now open your mouth and breath, let the oxygen contact reveal to you the true flavours of the whisky”. It was a bit of a task to exercise that well-timed coordinated sensory exercise but then after a few attempts, I got it right. And all this while I saw Murray spitting down into spittoons on his left and on his right which were placed on the floor on both the sides of his chair, without a single drop spilling out of the marked area.

I was beginning to admire his marksmanship when remembered to ask him what he thought of one of the most popular Asian whiskies, Kavalan from Taiwan and Paul John, both produced in similar climatic conditions. Murray said, “Both are incredibly well-made whiskies in almost similar climatic conditions but Kavalan only started to do well after they changed from German Arnold Holstein pot stills and columns with plates in 2008 to the Scottish lantern type of pot stills in 2012. That has made a huge difference to the Kavalan whisky. One more difference is that they get a lot of earthquake in that region in the outskirts of Taipei city”.

As Murray also offers consultancy to a number of whisky producers all over the world, he keeps two sides of his job – the judging/scoring of whisky from finished bottles for the Whisky Bible and advising these companies while tasting samples -separate.

But how does he deal with the criticisms at home front? “There are many scotch producers who don’t keep my book at their shops in the distilleries. And, I am totally fine with it. Because Whisky Bible is for the consumers and they buy it because they see authenticity and value in it”, he said.

In the end, I can’t help but ask him which is his favourite Paul John whisky? “I like Brilliance and Edited. But ‘Kanyaa’ has been one of my favourites so far”, replied Murray. As I enquired further about whiskies matured in PX (Pedro Ximenez Wine) and Oloroso (sherry) casks or peated, he didn’t show much interest in those styles as according to him “the true personality and charm of a good quality whisky can be found on its own, which is easy to lose at times with many layers of flavours coming from other sources”.

The time with Murray was coming to an end and while saying him goodbye I realized what he said was true.

In the end, what really matters is what’s in the core. The originality of whiskies from countries such as Japan, Taiwan and India has made them popular all over the world. And, even though many would swear allegiance to the peaty, sherry or PX finish or any other styles of single malts, the true personality of a whisky is only revealed in its pure form.
