Dexter Sinister
YKSIHW KCALB
12 years ago, Dexter Sinister invested in a future spirit. Here’s how they described it in a prospectus at the time:
The production of BLACK WHISKY is a joint undertaking by Dexter Sinister, publishers (New York, USA) and Stählemühle, distillers (Eigeltingen-Münchhof, Germany). Distillation is due to take place in the summer of 2010, towards the production of a batch-distilled, single Bavarian malt, non-blended whisky, using pure water from the Black Forest, which will mature for 12 years in a used Bourbon barrel imported from the USA, to be bottled and distributed sometime after 2021.
Meanwhile, inevitably, things have changed. Dexter Sinister no longer runs a basement bookstore, and now operates (mostly) remotely from New York and Scotland. After a too-successful run, Stählemühle has stopped distilling spirits. And the name “Black Whisky,” chosen through a chain of obscure reasoning in 2010, has shifted its register 12 years later on. And yet, now, the whisky is ready.
