Bisquit Cognac: L’Origine<br />
L’Origine is a tribute to the art of Cognac – a long and<br />
complex process, often unknown. Bisquit Cognac is<br />
crafted by the ‘Guardian of the Temple’ – the master<br />
distiller, who is key holder to Bisquit’s bank of precious<br />
‘eau de vie’, meaning ‘water of life’ (the twice-distilled<br />
wine), and keeper of the ageing and blending secrets behind the brand. For<br />
L’Origine, the master distiller has skillfully blended to perfection a range of over 100<br />
‘eaux de vie’ to create a masterpiece. One of the rarest Cognacs, only a select few<br />
will be able to acquire this prestigious, priceless bottle. Recently at the AfrAsia Bank<br />
Cape Wine Auction, L’Origine was acquired for R350 000 as part of a full Bisquit<br />
experience in Paris and Cognac, France.<br />
Discovering who does what in<br />
the booming South African craftbeer<br />
scene is quite a journey!<br />
Thanks to the book, Beer Safari –<br />
A Journey Through the Craft<br />
Breweries of South Africa, by<br />
Lucy Corne, I have discovered<br />
over 40 passionate craft brewers<br />
and even more beers. I am truly<br />
inspired to take a ‘vacaletion’, as<br />
Lucy rightly says! Although most<br />
of the breweries are located in the<br />
Western Cape, a lot of innovation<br />
and experimentation is taking<br />
place nationwide. Something<br />
else these craft breweries have<br />
in common is creative names<br />
for each of their beers! Brewers<br />
certainly know how to have fun...<br />
