Every facet of the Montgomery Distillery operation can be characterized by its precise blueprint and flawless execution. The commitment to craft and attention to detail exhibited by Ryan Montgomery and his team allows them to achieve a standard that other small scale producers would be well advised to emulate. Their capacity for design creates an enviable aesthetic that places them among the elite of craft industry launches.
Here is a sneak peak at their soon-to-be-released custom display racks. Rest assured, the Quicksilver Vodka and Whyte Laydie Gin that will grace them are equally exquisite.

Attention to (old) Details
The thing about superior design and craftsmanship is that it is timeless. A well designed piece, whether it be a G Plan bedside table or a gin martini, will always be relevant, and when combined with other quality ingredients in proper proportions, creates an air of refinement that will never go out of style.
Though we here at MicroShiner focus primarily on contemporary craftsmanship, and that of spirits in particular, I think there is much to be said for, and to be learned from, exceptional designers and products of the past. And judging from the spaces that many distillers inhabit and their tasting rooms utilize, a lot of people in the craft scene share my opinion.
Vintage and retro are huge right now, and for 40s through 70s fashion, I can't say enough about the genius that is Your Vintage Life. Kate and Adam simply amaze with their keen eye, unwavering dedication, and encyclopedic knowledge of the era. If I were fortunate enough to be in the market for vintage G Plan (this Mad Men tagline, “We’d rather come home to a beautiful corner than a whole roomful of clutter”, is brilliant), they would receive my first email.
The latest post on their blog, Vintage by the seaside, highlights Trevose Harbour House, a Saint Ives guesthouse that is executed with an exquisite attention to detail, including several items source from Your Vintage Life.
Your Vintage Life is always open, and Trevose Harbour House is currently accepting reservations. Be forewarned though. The only handcrafted spirits to be found will likely be from the Balvanie. Which is never a bad thing.
