New Release (September 2026)
Flavour Report 04: Flavour is Memory looks at one of flavour’s most powerful effects: its ability to return us to another time.
The smell of cinnamon sugar-dusted cereal can return you to Saturday morning cartoons. A cocktail can bring back a bar, a person or a night you would rather forget. A bottle marked with your birth year can make someone else’s whisky feel part of your history. Flavour collapses time, carrying personal memories, family histories and cultural traditions into the present.
This edition follows memory into the glass, from the science of nostalgic cocktails and childhood flavours in Canadian whisky to vintage spirits, single-harvest Champagne and heritage traditions people refused to let disappear.
Edition 04 Bonus
Because an edition about memory should put yours to work, the first 150 print orders will include an exclusive 20-card Flavour Memory Game that brings Edition 04 off the page.

Flavour Report 03: The Colour of Flavour explores the space between what’s in the glass and what we believe is there. From the botanicals that naturally tint our drinks to the multi-sensory ways we experience flavour, we’re looking at how perception shapes taste, and how breaking those expectations can open up entirely new ways of understanding it.
Colour is often the first cue we’re given. It shapes expectation, suggests flavour, and, more often than we realize, tells us what we think we’re about to taste. But as you’ll see throughout these pages, flavour doesn’t always follow the rules we assign to it.
Flavour Report 02: Flavour is Place explores how geography, climate, and culture shape what we taste, revealing the landscapes, traditions, and local hands that give every spirit its sense of belonging. Designed as a visually immersive edition, it features taste profiles for over 70 spirits, regional distillery maps, and botanical libraries that celebrate the artistry of place. More than just a magazine, it’s a coffee-table companion and back-bar resource made to spark conversation, curiosity, and connection.
