The Philip Duff Show

There's been a lot of debate recently as to whether gin (which was definitely first created in England) descended from Dutch genever - or from somewhere else. In this seminar I add a lot of information only available from Dutch-language sources, and try to explain why, although gin didn't have a single ancestor from a single country, the most influential distillate that led to the creation of gin was genever. Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries: consulting@liquidsolutions.org (PR friends: we’re only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things besides their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is.

I sat down last week with my old friend Oron Lerner  in Tel Aviv , where he's beverage director for the World's 50 Best Bars-listed Imperial Craft bar, as well as their other excellent outlets La Otra and Bushwick. Over a few martinis and quite a bit of genever, we chat about life in a war zone, perceived happiness, the one kind of diversity people don't want to get behind and why you should turn your phone off and kick back with a glass of liquor in each hand from time to time, as well as a whole bunch more stuff. Follow Oron on Twitter and Instagram: @LernerOronFollow meeeee: @philipduff on Twitter and @philipsduff on InstagramAnd if you like this podcast, please rate, subscribe, share and tell a friend. Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries: consulting@liquidsolutions.org (PR friends: we’re only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things besides their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is.

I had huge fun taping this epic two-hour episode with the hilarious noted drinks writer and music fiend Tony Sachs, wherein we drink Silver Bullet cocktails with hundred-year-old kummel, Improved Holland Gin Cock-tails with hundred-year-old angostura bitters, ponder if you should lisp when you say Jerez, what a Katy Perry cocktail would taste like and have a celebrity basketball players' tequila taste-off. Also, Tony drinks a fifty-year-old bottled daiquiri.

FINALLY an episode that's just me hanging out with someone, slurping down drinks and shooting the shit! Me and Dan solve all the world's problems, from his troubling lack of Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards to how everyone can crash at my place in Portugal this summer, to what it was like to fly maskless on a plane, how Ray Charles loved genever and how Ted Haigh got it onscreen, all while we're inhaling Old Duff Genever and Fresh Victor cocktail mixes. This was a fun one. Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries: consulting@liquidsolutions.org (PR friends: we’re only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things besides their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is.

 An OG seminar I first gave way back in 2010, on behalf of the French grape-based G'Vine Gin. It's been really popular and I'm usually asked to teach it again every couple of years, most recently at Cabo Cocktail Festival in Mexico in 2017. It's a mini- Genever 101 and a mini-Gin 101, but mostly it traces the origins of gin from when distilling knowledge first came to Europe, through genever to the birth of what we would recognise as gin in England, which was complete when the column still was first patented in 1830.

 This is a rebooted version of a seminar named The Science of Citrus that I debuted at the much-missed Manhattan Cocktail Classic in, well, Manhattan waaaay back in 2011 (I say 2015 on the recording, oops). Because it's now online and we can't nose the liquid samples we had back then of decanal, limonene etc., and because I've also edited out the organic chemistry portion that explained what those nosing samples were, I've renamed this The Joy of Citrus. This one has it all - goats in general, dead French writers, Volkswagens, specific Caribbean goats, Coca-Cola and Ramos Gin Fizzes, plus more knowledge about citrus and its twisted family tree than you can shake a stick at. Let me know in the comments if you like it? I have at least two more citrus-related seminars I can re-record, one on curacao, and one on Italian lemons and limoncello.

OK, not every episode will be like this, but we gotta start somewhere! This is the audio for a webinar you can see on my YouTube channel, and its a great place to start if you don't know much about genever (or mixology) - there are more in-depth seminars on my YouTube too, by the way. If you're a pro, you'll like the second bit of this podcast, when I showcase some of the more impressive and innovative cocktails being made with genever, by some of the best bartenders working all around the world. I read out the recipes on this episode but check the YouTube video (its me narrating a PowerPoint) if you'd like to transcribe them. This seminar premiered in real life in late 2021 at the awesome A Bar Called Gemma in Stockholm, Sweden, and I'm kinda stoked about it. Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries: consulting@liquidsolutions.org (PR friends: we’re only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things besides their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is.
