LINIE is a potato-based spirit, distilled in pot stills with a special blend of Nordic herbs and spices to give it its distinct flavour. The young spirit is placed in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks to develop further. Ultimately the casks are sent on a sea journey across the world to mature.
The result is an extraordinarily smooth and well balanced aquavit with leading notes of caraway and star anise – and finer hints of vanilla and sherry. ~ linie.com/products/linie-aquavit-original/

Henry gave up on the Steelers - Chiefs game by half-time.
He abandoned me - taking one of my socks with him - for his favorite retreat beside his old dog crate, which is now filled with camera equipment and bins of backdrop fabrics.
This is a difficult spot to capturing using the Nikon because:
1. bringing out the Nikon gets both boys excited and hopping about, which would rather defeat the point of this picture, and
2. do you really want to see the tuffs and fluffs of fur swirling around the floor in crisp detail?

A recent shot of some Queequeg. A great spiced rum from a local distillery, Maine Craft Distilling, here in Portland. Not only great spirits but awesome people as well. I highly suggest stopping in there if you are ever in the neighborhood www.mainecraftdistilling.com/
This was shot with my favorite basic lighting setup for beverage/bottle shots, two lights, one on either side. A medium soft box on the left and strip light on the right shot through another layer of diffusion. This lets you tweak the reflections into gradients pretty much any way you like by moving the softbox's around in relation to the diffusion. From there its usually variations of gridded lights and spot lights to focus light and layout gradients behind the bottle.
This shot was a combination of 4 shots you can see HERE
and the setup shots HERE
The first shot was this setup with a third light focused into the glass. The glass had a mirror behind it to reflect light back through. Typically a silver card or gold card is the way to go as a mirror can often be too reflective but this one seemed to benefit from the extra light. This setup was the same for the first two images. Since I was using real ice one shot was for the overall base, the other for the ideal glass/ice setup allowing me to focus just on the glass before the ice melted. Third shot was a speedlight fired directly into the bottle. Normally not a good solution but because the bottle was half empty and the label wrapped all the way around the bottle it bounced the light around to create a nice glow that wasn't overpowering. The final shot used a silver reflector to shoot light back into the silver foil of the label and to light up the label a little more in general as well.
Since the bottle wasn't full and had been drank from (it's hard to keep it around full) there was more touch up work than normal and this partly affected my decision on how to arrange the shot. I wanted the label to be up front and center since the designs are really quite nice an since it had been opened the neck of the bottle had the sticker seal broken. There was also some stains on the label from pouring or holding. I also ended up going with a surface with a little texture and a black background that, in post, I dropped a picture of a barrel and the logo into. A little post production pop and sizzle and an image that hopefully makes you thirsty!
“Moonshine” refers to unaged corn whiskey that was traditionally made by the light of the moon. Back in the day, moonshiners would distill their spirits under the cover of darkness in order to avoid being noticed by the authorities. For hundreds of years, farmers in the Smoky Mountains would turn their surplus corn into whiskey, which they sold to bring in some extra revenue. The moonshiners operated outside the bounds of the law so they didn’t have to pay the government’s excise tax on whiskey. In 2009, a change in Tennessee law allowed for the creation of the states’ first legal moonshine distilleries.

We distilled today the schnaps for my brother-in-law at the General-Sutter-Distillery in Sissach.
The master distiller was only running two stills, so three were empty. That also meant he had plenty of time to explain on what was going on.
Now that the weather has cooled down our solar panels are giving us
far more energy than we need. This causes the batteries to remain at a
charge over 100% all the time. This also means the batteries are going
through more water due to the excess energy. I needed to refill the
batteries and didn't want to buy a bunch of distilled water in plastic
bottles. Instead I tested the difference between our rain water we
have caught and distilled store bought water I already had on hand. It
turns out our rain water has about 8 PPM while our store bought
distilled water as at 11 PPM. Our rain water actually has less
particulates than Shure Shine store bought distilled water. Needless
to say I filled my solar batteries up with rain water and have no
plans to purchase distilled water gain.
Martha High, déesse de la Soul, explore son héritage musical et poursuit son aventure pour distiller des grands moments funky avec les SoulCookers ! Martha High a chanté sur scène avec James Brown pendant 30 ans et a été sa chanteuse la plus ancienne. Elle continue de faire régulièrement le tour du monde en tant que chanteuse principale du groupe de Maceo Parker, autre acolyte de longue date du parrain de la soul. Ils étaient ensemble, avec James Brown lors de leur célèbre concert au Boston Garden en avril 1968 dans la nuit qui a suivi l’assassinat de Martin Luther King, lorsque Brown a empêché de nouvelles émeutes grâce à sa pure présence sur scène et à son message positif. High reste une formidable force musicale, acclamée par la critique pour ses albums et par son public à chaque prestation scénique.

Another Distilled Life, the morning after a whiskey tasting. A pleasant evening of food, drinks of a sociable nature, and dessert (which had to be Pie because it was Pi day). Photographed in situ prior to cleanup.

The cup in the center should have enough rose water in it that it will need to be emptied at this point. Carefully remove it with a pair of tongs and pour it into a larger container. Replace the cup and gently stir the rose petals to make sure that they're submerged.
If the petals are fully transparent or slightly brown, scoop them out. New petals or more water can be added as needed. Return the inverted lid to the kettle.
Arrange approximately 4 cups of rose petals arround the collection cup. Cover with purified water until the water line is about 1/2 inch from the collection dish's rim.

KELLERSTRASS DISTILLING CO. / REGISTERED / DISTILLERS / KANSAS CITY, MO. U.S.A.
Missouri Bottles, Crock Jugs & Dose Glasses: No. 1489
Ernest Kellerstrass was born “Ernst” circa 1866 in Peoria, Illinois, the son of Fredrich Robert Kellerstrass, a German immigrant who ran a candy store. His mother was Margaretha Augustine. Their son appears to have been a “go-getter” from an early age. In the 1880 census, when Ernest was but 14 years old, his occupation was given as “baker.” Moreover, he is on record claiming he began his interest in chickens about the age of eight.
Kellerstrass appears to have grown up in Illinois and, according to information in Ancestry.com, was twice married there. His first wife was a woman named “Daisy” --no last name given and fate unknown. He subsequently married Emily Guesewelle, born in 1861 in Atchison, Kansas. They would have three children, Grace, Robert and Karl, all born in Illlinois. What brought Ernest to Kansas City and the liquor trade is unclear but his success appears to have been very rapid.
Kellerstrass, still in his 30s, showed extraordinary initiative. About 1899 he established his company as the successor to the Columbia Supply Co. and located his main office in Kansas City, selling stock in the Kellerstrass Distilling Company at $10 a share. When he listed the officers of the firm, he named himself, his children and other Kellerstrass relatives. He also bought a distillery in Paradise, Clay County, Missouri, that had been founded about a decade earlier. Kellerstrass illustrated the facility on his labels. Through his distillery he was able to insure a secure supply of raw whiskey for his brands. With success he created a separate sales depot across Missouri in St. Louis. Kellerstrass emphasized his access to railway express to send his goods West from Kansas City and East from St. Louis.
He packaged his whiskey in embossed glass bottles, often covered by a colorful label. Like many liquor dealers of his time Kellerstrass featured giveaway items to favored customers, among them gold rimmed shot glasses. He also issued the "Kellerstrass' Dream Book", a 32-page booklet that purported to explain the meaning of images seen in dreams. Despite its intriguing cover, the publication, issued about 1903, was a thinly-veiled advertising vehicle for Kellerstrass Rye and Whiskey.
Primarily operating a mail order liquor house, Kellerstrass offered premiums to retail customers. He issued one certificate for each gallon of whiskey ordered. Nine certificates earned a pen knife, 38 a revolver, 80 a double gauged shotgun and 300 a buggy. Short a certificate or two? Kellerstrass
would give you additional chits at a cost of 25 cents each. By 1903, Ernest had gained notice from the Missouri business community and media for his success. Bearing the headline “The Kellerstrass Christmas,” The Kansas City Journal in its Dec. 25, 1903, edition ran the following story:
Probably the most generous Christmas giver in Kansas City yesterday was Ernest Kellerstrass, the big distiller, whose presents to those who serve him, all given in gold, amounted to just $2,710. Every man and woman in his employ, or who has been of service to him in the last year, received gifts ranging from $5 to, in one case, $1,000 in gold. The telephone girls at the Central office, the express wagon drivers, the postman and everyone else who came in touch with his enormous business, was remembered.
The princely generosity of Mr. Kellerstrass had been well known in the past, but this year he fairly outdid himself. "But the Kellerstrass Distilling Company never did such a business in its life as in this year," said he, when speaking modestly of his munificence, and I wanted all those who had helped its success to share in its good fortune."
The employees of the company did not forget Mr. Kellerstrass either. The women "chipped in" and bought him two magnificent imported tankards, while the men combined in a smoking set of horn and ivory, mounted in gold, with his monogram on the ivory. Two handsomer gifts were not given yesterday.
Leavening this local celebrity status, Ernest suffered a personal tragedy. His wife, Emily, age 41, died, leaving him with three small children. He married again within a relatively short time. This time his wife was Clara Krull. According to the record in Ancestry.com, she was the daughter of John Henry and Emma Krull and hailed from Steubenville, Ohio. Clara was 12 years younger than Ernest. The couple would have four more children, all girls.
Inexplicably, in 1904 and at the height of his success, Kellerstrass, still short of 40 years old, sold out his distillery and mail order liquor empire to a syndicate from St. Louis. The new managers operated the business under the Kellerstrass name until 1916 when they were forced to shut down. The Webb-Kenyon Act of Congress in 1913 had forbidden mail order sales of liquor into “dry” areas of the country, killing off their freight express trade. After that it was only a matter of time.
Meanwhile, Kellerstrass with wife and family had retired to his chicken ranch. There he tackled farming chores with typical enthusiasm, energy and intelligence. He built new chicken houses according to his own design and began to breed a superior kind of poultry. The eggs from the Kellerstrass Farm became known regionwide for their freshness and quality.
Soon many in America would know about Kellerstrass and his chickens. In 1910, after only a few years in business, he self-published a book called “The Kellerstrass Way of Raising Poultry” and charged $1 for it. Clearly very proud of the progress he had made with his chickens, the book is full of advice to poultry raisers. Kellerstrass introduced the volume by saying: “It has been constant aim in writing this book to use common sense, and to give the public as much good practical advice as I possibly could, and remember, that this book was written by a man who is out working with his chickens every day.”
In the 1920 census, Kellerstrass gave his occupation as “farmer. He does not show up in the 1930 census but in 1940 he was listed as “retired.” Shown here are Ernest and Clara in later life. Both look like vigorous elderly folks. In 1942, Ernest died, age 80. His wife, Clara, outlived him by 17 years, passing at the age of 85.
