Bedat No.8 Ref.867

Bedat No.8 Ref.867

Bedat’s big tempter at the moment is to offer anyone who buys one of its watches a year’s complimentary membership to Bedat Confidential, a concierge service run in conjunction with Quintessentially. Back on horological dry land, the new 867 chronograph is Bedat’s largest watch to date, measuring 45mm across. It’s also extremely unusual, with its “round in a cushion” case, integrated winding crown and applied steel No.8 logo encircling two of the three sub dials. Red and orange markings and a crocodile strap add a sporty flavor.

Mezcal’s Moment

Mezcal’s Moment

All tequila is mezcal, but not all mezcal is tequila. While premium tequila is made from blue agave, mezcal can be made from other varieties of the plant. Second: Tequila distillers generally steam the agave before fermentation, while for mezcal the agave is usually slow-roasted in oven-like pits lined with hot rocks. This process gives the spirit its signature earthy and smoky dimension.
There is a vast range of flavors and aromas found among the different mezcals. Some should be sipped like whiskies, while others can be mixed in cocktails.
