In the Black Forest, dedication is a given. Busy hands, busy minds. Which is precisely why the days between Christmas and New Year are treated with a certain reverence.
Twixmas, as the English like to call it – those quiet days betwixt the celebrations, when the calendar loosens its grip and time stretches a little. Around here, that often means pulling on a coat, stepping outside and letting a short walk turn into something longer. Through spruce trees and mossy paths. No rush. No agenda. Just movement, fresh air and the luxury of nowhere else to be.
It’s a pause without standing still. Rest disguised as ritual. And if the day allows for it, finished the right way — with a glass of something distilled by those same busy hands, now taking their own moment to slow down.
At the Wild Monkey Distillery, we call that Twixmas, well spent.
