Welcome to Drinking the World; my thoughts on fine libations, special spirits, and fabulous cocktails. My name is Jonathan M. Forester and I'm a food & beverage writer / consultant, and formerly partner in a winery and brewery in Maine. Now, my new partner and I are currently in the process of starting an artisanal, farm distillery located on 370 acres in New York State called Dutch's Spirits. We will be specializing in premium, hand-made spirits. These will include bourbon, rye, and malt whiskey, peach and apple brandy, a variety of aged rum, gin, liqueurs, and cocktail bitters.

By Jonathan M. Forester on Apr 24, 2010 | In Artisanal Distilling
Hi Folks, I know I haven't been writing much lately. For the past several months I have been planning our new distillery. I've been meeting with my partner, drawing up the business plan (over 60 pages so far), meeting with consultants, and a million other things. (I've also been consulting to a great beer company making bourbon barrel aged Scottish ale, called Innis & Gunn)
Soon I'll write about the project, it will be a very large artisanal distillery called Dutch's Spirits, making bourbon, rye, unaged/white whiskey, gin, genever, rum, brandy, liqueurs, and bitters. It is to be located on a 370 acre farm where we will have local farmers grow our own grains.
Check back soon to learn all the details.
