Flavor Extraction
At the beginning of spring, 6 species of spruce are harvested, at high tide we go out to the mudflats for salty tones and, when it gets cold, the red algae from the Celtic Sea.
Field Guide
Endless flavors hide around us, but most of all when nature is wild. Each ingredient requires its own treatment to extract the desired taste. In field guide, dozens of techniques are used: distilling, infusing, fermenting and working with multiple basic substances to exceed the intensity of a spirit, recognize the warming mouthfeel and take you back to that one memory.
Go Outside
Flavours are hidden in every plant; in nature, you first learn what to respect, then what could be dangerous and then how something tastes.
Cheers to wilderness
FIELD GUIDE is an ode to Roger Phillips' field guide, the first book on my shelf. Wandering through wild landscapes for trees, mushrooms and plants that looked like the pictures in his books. Generation after generation taught me the love for these ecosystems; his field guides brought me one step closer to a sense of ignorance. After each field guide, I forgot the previous one, but one thing stuck: the memory of the taste of each variety. And all those little taste memories led me to field guide 0.0 spirits in my lab in the old water mill hidden in the wilderness. What you cherish maintains, Field Guide was developed to share taste stories, learn from nature like Roger Phillips and my ancestors did to me, and put the money back into lush nature where magical flavors are hidden.
