Hell yeah, it was a live festival again. Although it was limited in the amount of people that were allowed in per day, which made I could only go one day. But what great fun it was.
SITS is one of the best day of the year. So many great brands under one roof in my city: Brussels. But it is also one of those moments where you scout for interesting bottles, try new or less familiar things. Normally I am not a big fan of Fettercairn, but the Daily Dram bottling is great for a reasonable price. The masterclass of Drouin was amazing; Calvados is really leaving its ‘old man’s drink’ reputation behind, but also in the classical style you do have some great stuff out there (check Le Domfrontais). And off course one of the best independent Scottish bottlers to find Cadenhead’s; nowadays I find they are releasing less older Scotches, but we did get our hands on some +20’s which I believe to be worth trying out.
So here is our SITS 2021 selection; all is now available on the website.
