Amateur Spirit is a project to offer outstanding spirits selected transparently by groups of skilled spirits amateurs in blind tastings – which are video recorded and shared with you.

Each bottling, a diverse jury samples the same spirit from different producers, discussing and evaluating them without knowing details. The tasting session is recorded and edited as a short film, so that everyone can join in afterwards and see how and why the selection was made.

After blind tasting, the jury selects the one exceptional, characterful spirit that stands out through consensus. Bottles feature the names of the amateur jury and go on sale for a limited time.

The fifth jury tasting video is just below, featuring some old Calvados!

The goal is to share the enthusiasm of spirits amateurs in choosing special bottles – amateurs, not professionals.
