Horta agilizou uma degustação da minha bebida favorita e alerta – tem Laphroaig no free shop!

Os single malts são o mais próximo do terroir que nossa língua pode perceber. É uma afirmação controversa, não tem raiz da videira nem clorofilia e madurez da uva no sol, mas se sente a turfa escocesa com intensidade ímpar. Laphroaig, da ilha de Islay, é quase uma hipérbole do solo engarrafado, de tão potente. Já o conhecia de fama, único uísque a trazer a chancela real do príncipe de Gales estampada no rótulo e famoso pelo “estilo gaita de fole”, que se ama ou detesta. Sem opções.

Comprei uma garrafa no Duty Free de Guarulhos e fui abri-la no hotel em Buenos Aires, numa viagem recente. Foi uma epifania aromática. Tirei a tampa e instintivamente olhei para o teto, com medo de disparar o alarme de incêndio. Não estou exagerando. O primeiro gole foi pavoroso, como me advertia o nariz: fumaça, iodo, algo de esparadrapo e medicinal, como lamber um cinzeiro ou beber um charuto guardado num armário de farmácia. É atraente essa descrição? Nem um pouco. Meia hora depois o gosto ainda estava na boca, só que ficara agradável, salino, marinho e defumado, pedindo mais goles.

Atesto e dou fé. Continua lendo lá.

Do Quartetofour.

O designer Brandon Schaefer segue uma linha parecida com a do minimalista espanhol Hexagonall – e ambos pertencem a uma cena global de remixadores visuais do inconsciente coletivo que, através do design, relêem o século 20 e o começo deste 21 com perspectivas bem além dos clichês que os cercam. Nessa mesma linha, vale conferir o Supertrunfo de fontes do Face 37, os livros-game de Olly Moss, os filmes de papel do Spacesick, os pôsteres do polonês Grzegorz Domaradzkis, o Tarantino do canadense Ibraheem Youssef, a filosofia pop do Mico Toledo e os super-heróis pulp de Steve Finch. E estes são apenas alguns dos que republiquei por aqui. Há muito mais.
