Musee Virtuel de l'Absinthe - Le Monde des Antiquites d'Absinthe

by sbrothier
Absinthe...la fée verte..."The Green Fairy"...aucune autre boisson n'a la même histoire romantique - les impressionnistes Français...Toulouse Lautrec, Degas, Manet, Van Gogh...Paris à la Belle Époque...les cafés de Montmartre...la muse des écrivains, de Baudelaire et Rimbaud à Joyce et Hemingway. Évidemment, il y a aussi une face cachée: aucune boisson n'a suscité de condamnation plus fervente, et aucune autre boisson n'a été entièrement interdite comme l'absinthe le fut en 1915.

Amazon.co.uk: Japanese Whisky, Scotch Blend: The Japanese Whisky King and His Scotch Wife Rita: Olive Checkland: Books

by sbrothier
In the early 1920s, Masataka Taketsuru came to Scotland from Japan to learn how to distil whisky. While in Scotland he married Rita Cowan, of Kirkintilloch, who left Scotland with him to live in Japan for forty years, never to return home. She died in 1961. This is an illustrated story of one man's determination to succeed, both in business and love. It is also the story of a young girl's move to a land far away, of strange customs and even stranger language, her joys and heartaches. It is also the incredible story of how whisky is made to perfection thousands of miles away from its cultural 'home', and the history of its development within Japan up to the present day.
