They were both at the beginning of my initiation to whisky. I have chosen two whiskies of the same age, both underappreciated, both working horses for blends, rarely praised with high-level quality casks. Oh, it’s such a great book.īoth single malts have the same age, was that your intention or was it a coincidence. Salacity and faith, passions and cold precise mind. All four temperaments carved with surgeon precision. Yes, it’s huge, yes there are more questions than answers in this book, and yes you literally can feel all the phantoms Dostoevsky was haunted by, but it’s fascinating! One of the best books I have ever read. I read it again in university and then again and again. I have read it in school, as part of the school programme and I was too young and too raw for it. “The Karamazov Brothers” is the last and the most difficult book of Dostoevsky. It teaches us, how not to lose our sense of wonder. ![]() After that, I devoured all Herbert Wells books. “The War of the Worlds” was my first science fiction book when I was a kid and it impressed me so much with its fantastic plot, technology predictions and faith in humanity. Why did you choose for these two books? What do they mean to you? We decided that the two polar opposite and at the same time close characters father Fedor Pavlovich and his son Aleksey would display the essence of the book. It’s very difficult – especially with the Karamazov brothers – to reflect the spirit and the atmosphere of the book on the label. These guys had an experience in whisky labels and materialized my ideas perfectly. As for the design, it was created in 43 Oz studio in Moldova. So when I was thinking about the labels and conception itself, I knew what the title would be. For me, it’s a lifestyle to read every time when it’s possible, since my childhood. ![]() Bookinists read a lot and tied their life with books. Bookinist – a specialist and expert in books, rare and old. In that same year Ruslan Zamoskovniy, founder of Scyfion invited me to join him.Ĭan you tell me a bit more about the name and stunning labels that both represent a book.īouquin means an old book in French. ![]() My appreciation to Stewart Laing and his family. After a fascinating journey through Scotland and a lot of “no, we don’t sell casks”, I have finally bought my first two casks. I had the idea to unite my passion for reading with whisky and dedicate it to my favourite books. I headed to Scotland, aiming to buy a cask of whisky. I quit my job in the energetic sector, I was free to begin new independent life with something that I love and was fond of. ![]() I have started it in 2017 making my dream to bottle whisky come true. Can you tell me a bit more about this project and how you got started with this? We know you from Scyfion and now you have also started The Bookinist. In the meantime, I thought it would be a good idea to introduce The Bookinist, so in addition to reviewing both single malts, I also asked him some questions to find out more about this new bottler. It was founded by Anatoliy Berezovskiy and you may have already seen that name here because he is also involved with Scyfion, which I have written about before.Īs of now, these bottles have only been released in Ukraine, but hopefully, that will change in the foreseeable future. This Glen Garioch and Ardmore 11 year old are the first two releases from the Ukrainian bottler The Bookinist.
