I find both books and whiskies are a perfect match and companions for each other.Ĭan you talk a bit about the artwork for these releases? The War of the Worlds captured my imagination when I was a kid, it was my first science fiction book and it impressed me deeply! As well as The Brothers Karamazov, a book which is constantly worth re-reading, it always offers you something new for your thoughts and soul experiences. And it was like … turn on, tune in, change all.īoth books are my favourites from different ages and I wanted to dedicate the first two releases to these particular books.
Someone, either by malicious intent or as a gift, had put a Laphroaig 10 on my table (red pill for most of us). Whisky had bursted in my life during my wedding in 2013. The idea first came to me when I decided to quit my previous job and wanted to start a new chapter of my life tightly tied with whisky. Where did the idea for The Bookinist come from? And why did you choose The War of the Worlds and The Brother Karamazov? (This interview has been lightly edited for clarity.) Being a very kind and accommodating person, he immediately answered in the affirmative. So, I asked Anatoliy if he’d be willing to answer a few questions. They honestly are some of my favourite looking whiskies ever. A lot of thought and care went into this Ardmore and Glen Garioch. The important difference is that Scyfion’s releases have all spend time in Ukrainian wine casks, while the two Bookinist whiskies were finished in casks from well-known wineries from Bordeaux.īut that’s not why they caught my attention. What connects Scyfion and The Bookinist is their fondness for wine cask finishes.
I’ve reviewed several of their releases, as have some others. Also, you might’ve read about some other bottlings Anatoliy was involved with, called Scyfion. You may not know much yet about The Bookinist, a small independent label from Ukraine, run by Anatoliy Berezovskiy.
