Gold and coal

Johannes was a passionate influencer. When he felt like it. Actually, he only called himself an "influencer" because it sounded better than "slacker" or "professional son". He actually made a good living from his parents' money, which he spent at parties, shopping and traveling.

"So, what do you think of my cute new hat? I found it at this very cool market here in Ankara. It goes well with the necklace, doesn't it?" There were fewer likes on the picture than usual. Comments instead. Critical comments. Why he suddenly has such a beard. Johannes grabbed his chin. He had no beard, he had no beard growth at all. And he had carefully retouched the picture before posting it on Instagram. There had been no beard. But still: the photo above the caption clearly showed a beard…

He would have to deal with it later. Johannes had a full schedule. Working out at a gym, which surprisingly enough actually wanted to pay him, a visit to a Turkish bath and cocktails and dinner at a trendy rooftop bar in the evening. Even though Johannes was a hedonist, he was usually well organized and punctual. But at the gym, his schedule started to slip. He trained harder and longer than usual. He felt full of energy. And the traditional Turkish bath and hammam were fantastic. He met super interesting people there. Surprisingly, in the two weeks he had been traveling around Turkey, he had picked up more Turkish than he thought he would. He struck up conversations with people and they got on with each other using their hands and feet. Actually, he should have been up on the roof terrace, styled and with a gin and tonic in his hand, when he left the Turkish bath with a real Turkish stallion. The two of them had shagged like Johannes had never shagged before in his life. Johannes' hair was still oily from the scalp massage. He was sweating. His stallion asked him if they wanted to have another cup of tea and a shisha. They did. And then Johannes was fucked again in the stallion's apartment!

"as-salāmu ʿalaikum, brothers! Today will be a great day. I'm going on a tour of the insider tips in Ankara with my brother Hakan today. But now it's time to pray. salla Allahu 'alaihi wa sallam."

There was a hail of question marks as comments. Friends asked whether he had gone mad. But he also received positive feedback. Because of his style. Because of his faith. These comments were mostly in Turkish or Arabic. Both languages that Johannes (or Yahya, as he called himself here) understood more poorly than well. But he recognized praise in every language!

Hakan and Yahya had a great day. In public, they were the typical machos, but Hakan knew the places in Ankara where there was good, hard sex. Yahya sucked a minister's cock in the station toilet. And got 200 US dollars for an obviously good performance. Enough money for a good evening in the hammam and a good shisha afterwards.

The apartment that Hakan and Yahya shared was small and stuffy. The housing shortage in Ankara was no different to anywhere else in Turkey. But thanks to their small extra income, they at least had three rooms. Pure luxury for two people.

For Yahya, Instagram and other social media were actually just full of sin and Western decadence. But of course they were important media for receiving news from his brothers. His own account existed. Nothing more. He followed a handful of fellow believers who posted frequently, but he didn't really have any followers himself. He still had an old account from his school days. His name was still Johannes. But he hadn't looked in there for years.

Working at the bazaar as a porter was hard and exhausting. But the bazaar was full of niches where you could earn money with services that his sheikh shouldn't know about. Although Hakan thought he had shagged the sheikh before. But Yahya didn't really believe that. But he didn't really care… The main thing was that he and Hakan had enough money and fun. They prayed for that. Not necessarily five times a day. But about ten times a week. If they sucked more cock, they prayed more often. And Yahya sometimes had to pray very often. He was grateful that he didn't stand out too much with his hairy body and bushy beard. But the blond hair was exotic. And many customers were willing to pay a lot for sex with a blond Muslim.

Yahya and Hakan were minor celebrities in the bazaar. Firstly, because they were oil wrestlers on their way to competing against each other for the title of national champion. On the other hand, because they were only simple porters. But they knew every corner, every trader and always knew everything. "Ask Yahya or Hakan!" was a common saying if you wanted to know anything. Or if you wanted a special service. But they didn't talk about details in the bazaar.

I'm on tour with my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me THIS SUNDAY in ANAHEIM at WONDERCON: YA Fantasy, Room 207, 10 a.m.; Signing, 11 a.m.; Teaching Writing, 2 p.m., Room 213CD.

The promise of feudal security: "Surrender control over your digital life so that we, the wise, giant corporation, can ensure that you aren't tricked into catastrophic blunders that expose you to harm":

https://locusmag.com/2021/01/cory-doctorow-neofeudalism-and-the-digital-manor/

The tech giant is a feudal warlord whose platform is a fortress; move into the fortress and the warlord will defend you against the bandits roaming the lawless land beyond its walls.

That's the promise, here's the failure: What happens when the warlord decides to attack you? If a tech giant decides to do something that harms you, the fortress becomes a prison and the thick walls keep you in.

Apple does this all the time: "click this box and we will use our control over our platform to stop Facebook from spying on you" (Ios as fortress). "No matter what box you click, we will spy on you and because we control which apps you can install, we can stop you from blocking our spying" (Ios as prison):

https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/14/luxury-surveillance/#liar-liar

But it's not just Apple – any corporation that arrogates to itself the right to override your own choices about your technology will eventually yield to temptation, using that veto to help itself at your expense:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/07/28/microincentives-and-enshittification/

Once the corporation puts the gun on the mantelpiece in Act One, they're begging their KPI-obsessed managers to take it down and shoot you in the head with it in anticipation of of their annual Act Three performance review:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/12/08/playstationed/#tyler-james-hill

One particularly pernicious form of control is "trusted computing" and its handmaiden, "remote attestation." Broadly, this is when a device is designed to gather information about how it is configured and to send verifiable testaments about that configuration to third parties, even if you want to lie to those people:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/08/your-computer-should-say-what-you-tell-it-say-1

New HP printers are designed to continuously monitor how you use them – and data-mine the documents you print for marketing data. You have to hand over a credit-card in order to use them, and HP reserves the right to fine you if your printer is unreachable, which would frustrate their ability to spy on you and charge you rent:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/hp-wants-you-to-pay-up-to-36-month-to-rent-a-printer-that-it-monitors/

Under normal circumstances, this technological attack would prompt a defense, like an aftermarket mod that prevents your printer's computer from monitoring you. This is "adversarial interoperability," a once-common technological move:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/10/adversarial-interoperability

An adversarial interoperator seeking to protect HP printer users from HP could gin up fake telemetry to send to HP, so they wouldn't be able to tell that you'd seized the means of computation, triggering fines charged to your credit card.

Enter remote attestation: if HP can create a sealed "trusted platform module" or a (less reliable) "secure enclave" that gathers and cryptographically signs information about which software your printer is running, HP can detect when you have modified it. They can force your printer to rat you out – to spill your secrets to your enemy.

Remote attestation is already a reliable feature of mobile platforms, allowing agencies and corporations whose services you use to make sure that you're perfectly defenseless – not blocking ads or tracking, or doing anything else that shifts power from them to you – before they agree to communicate with your device.

What's more, these "trusted computing" systems aren't just technological impediments to your digital wellbeing – they also carry the force of law. Under Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, these snitch-chips are "an effective means of access control" which means that anyone who helps you bypass them faces a $500,000 fine and a five-year prison sentence for a first offense.

Feudal security builds fortresses out of trusted computing and remote attestation and promises to use them to defend you from marauders. Remote attestation lets them determine whether your device has been compromised by someone seeking to harm you – it gives them a reliable testament about your device's configuration even if your device has been poisoned by bandits:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/12/05/trusting-trust/#thompsons-devil

The fact that you can't override your computer's remote attestations means that you can't be tricked into doing so. That's a part of your computer that belongs to the manufacturer, not you, and it only takes orders from its owner. So long as the benevolent dictator remains benevolent, this is a protective against your own lapses, follies and missteps. But if the corporate warlord turns bandit, this makes you powerless to stop them from devouring you whole.

With that out of the way, let's talk about debt.

Debt is a normal feature of any economy, but today's debt plays a different role from the normal debt that characterized life before wages stagnated and inequality skyrocketed. 40 years ago, neoliberalism – with its assaults on unions and regulations – kicked off a multigenerational process of taking wealth away from working people to make the rich richer.

Have you ever watched a genius pickpocket like Apollo Robbins work? When Robins lifts your wristwatch, he curls his fingers around your wrist, expertly adding pressure to simulate the effect of a watchband, even as he takes away your watch. Then, he gradually releases his grip, so slowly that you don't even notice:

https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/ppqjya/apollo_robbins_a_master_pickpocket_effortlessly/

For the wealthy to successfully impoverish the rest of us, they had to provide something that made us feel like we were still doing OK, even as they stole our wages, our savings, and our futures. So, even as they shipped our jobs overseas in search of weak environmental laws and weaker labor protection, they shared some of the savings with us, letting us buy more with less. But if your wages keep stagnating, it doesn't matter how cheap a big-screen TV gets, because you're tapped out.

So in tandem with cheap goods from overseas sweatshops, we got easy credit: access to debt. As wages fell, debt rose up to fill the gap. For a while, it's felt OK. Your wages might be falling off, the cost of health care and university might be skyrocketing, but everything was getting cheaper, it was so easy to borrow, and your principal asset – your family home – was going up in value, too.

This period was a "bezzle," John Kenneth Galbraith's name for "The magic interval when a confidence trickster knows he has the money he has appropriated but the victim does not yet understand that he has lost it." It's the moment after Apollo Robbins has your watch but before you notice it's gone. In that moment, both you and Robbins feel like you have a watch – the world's supply of watch-derived happiness actually goes up for a moment.

There's a natural limit to debt-fueled consumption: as Michael Hudson says, "debts that can't be paid, won't be paid." Once the debtor owes more than they can pay back – or even service – creditors become less willing to advance credit to them. Worse, they start to demand the right to liquidate the debtor's assets. That can trigger some pretty intense political instability, especially when the only substantial asset most debtors own is the roof over their heads:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/06/the-end-of-the-road-to-serfdom/

"Debts that can't be paid, won't be paid," but that doesn't stop creditors from trying to get blood from our stones. As more of us became bankrupt, the bankruptcy system was gutted, turned into a punitive measure designed to terrorize people into continuing to pay down their debts long past the point where they can reasonably do so:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/09/bankruptcy-protects-fake-people-brutalizes-real-ones/

Enter "subprime" – loans advanced to people who stand no meaningful chance of every paying them back. We all remember the subprime housing bubble, in which complex and deceptive mortgages were extended to borrowers on the promise that they could either flip or remortgage their house before the subprime mortgages detonated when their "teaser rates" expired and the price of staying in your home doubled or tripled.

Subprime housing loans were extended on the belief that people would meekly render themselves homeless once the music stopped, forfeiting all the money they'd plowed into their homes because the contract said they had to. For a brief minute there, it looked like there would be a rebellion against mass foreclosure, but then Obama and Timothy Geithner decreed that millions of Americans would have to lose their homes to "foam the runways" for the banks:

https://wallstreetonparade.com/2012/08/how-treasury-secretary-geithner-foamed-the-runways-with-childrens-shattered-lives/

That's one way to run a subprime shop: offer predatory loans to people who can't afford them and then confiscate their assets when they – inevitably – fail to pay their debts off.

But there's another form of subprime, familiar to loan sharks through the ages: lend money at punitive interest rates, such that the borrower can never repay the debt, and then terrorize the borrower into making payments for as long as possible. Do this right and the borrower will pay you several times the value of the loan, and still owe you a bundle. If the borrower ever earns anything, you'll have a claim on it. Think of Americans who borrowed $79,000 to go to university, paid back $190,000 and still owe $236,000:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/12/04/kawaski-trawick/#strike-debt

This kind of loan-sharking is profitable, but labor-intensive. It requires that the debtor make payments they fundamentally can't afford. The usurer needs to get their straw right down into the very bottom of the borrower's milkshake and suck up every drop. You need to convince the debtor to sell their wedding ring, then dip into their kid's college fund, then steal their father's coin collection, and, then break into cars to steal the stereos. It takes a lot of person-to-person work to keep your sucker sufficiently motivated to do all that.

This is where digital meets subprime. There's $1T worth of subprime car-loans in America. These are pure predation: the lender sells a beater to a mark, offering a low down-payment loan with a low initial interest rate. The borrower makes payments at that rate for a couple of months, but then the rate blows up to more than they can afford.

Trusted computing makes this marginal racket into a serious industry. First, there's the ability of the car to narc you out to the repo man by reporting on its location. Tesla does one better: if you get behind in your payments, your Tesla immobilizes itself and phones home, waits for the repo man to come to the parking lot, then it backs itself out of the spot while honking its horn and flashing its lights:

https://tiremeetsroad.com/2021/03/18/tesla-allegedly-remotely-unlocks-model-3-owners-car-uses-smart-summon-to-help-repo-agent/

That immobilization trick shows how a canny subprime car-lender can combine the two kinds of subprime: they can secure the loan against an asset (the car), but also coerce borrowers into prioritizing repayment over other necessities of life. After your car immobilizes itself, you just might decide to call the dealership and put down your credit card, even if that means not being able to afford groceries or child support or rent.

One thing we can say about digital tools: they're flexible. Any sadistic motivational technique a lender can dream up, a computerized device can execute. The subprime car market relies on a spectrum of coercive tactics: cars that immobilize themselves, sure, but how about cars that turn on their speakers to max and blare a continuous recording telling you that you're a deadbeat and demanding payment?

https://archive.nytimes.com/dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/09/24/miss-a-payment-good-luck-moving-that-car/

The more a subprime lender can rely on a gadget to torment you on their behalf, the more loans they can issue. Here, at last, is a form of automation-driven mass unemployment: normally, an economy that has been fully captured by wealthy oligarchs needs squadrons of cruel arm-breakers to convince the plebs to prioritize debt service over survival. The infinitely flexible, tireless digital arm-breakers enabled by trusted computing have deprived all of those skilled torturers of their rightful employment:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/04/02/innovation-unlocks-markets/#digital-arm-breakers

The world leader in trusted computing isn't cars, though – it's phones. Long before anyone figured out how to make a car take orders from its manufacturer over the objections of its driver, Apple and Google were inventing "curating computing" whose app stores determined which software you could run and how you could run it.

Back in 2021, Indian subprime lenders hit on the strategy of securing their loans by loading borrowers' phones up with digital arm-breaking software:

https://restofworld.org/2021/loans-that-hijack-your-phone-are-coming-to-india/

The software would gather statistics on your app usage. When you missed a payment, the phone would block you from accessing your most frequently used app. If that didn't motivate you to pay, you'd lose your second-most favorite app, then your third, fourth, etc.

This kind of digital arm-breaking is only possible if your phone is designed to prioritize remote instructions – from the manufacturer and its app makers – over your own. It also only works if the digital arm-breaking company can confirm that you haven't jailbroken your phone, which might allow you to send fake data back saying that your apps have been disabled, while you continue to use those apps. In other words, this kind of digital sadism only works if you've got trusted computing and remote attestation.

Enter "Device Lock Controller," an app that comes pre-installed on some Google Pixel phones. To quote from the app's description: "Device Lock Controller enables device management for credit providers. Your provider can remotely restrict access to your device if you don't make payments":

https://lemmy.world/post/13359866

Google's pitch to Android users is that their "walled garden" is a fortress that keeps people who want to do bad things to you from reaching you. But they're pre-installing software that turns the fortress into a prison that you can't escape if they decide to let someone come after you.

There's a certain kind of economist who looks at these forms of automated, fine-grained punishments and sees nothing but a tool for producing an "efficient market" in debt. For them, the ability to automate arm-breaking results in loans being offered to good, hardworking people who would otherwise be deprived of credit, because lenders will judge that these borrowers can be "incentivized" into continuing payments even to the point of total destitution.

This is classic efficient market hypothesis brain worms, the kind of cognitive dead-end that you arrive at when you conceive of people in purely economic terms, without considering the power relationships between them. It's a dead end you navigate to if you only think about things as they are today – vast numbers of indebted people who command fewer assets and lower wages than at any time since WWII – and treat this as a "natural" state: "how can these poors expect to be offered more debt unless they agree to have their all-important pocket computers booby-trapped?"

Whisky, gin and beer

It was always going to be about beer, too - not only whisky and gin. And it was probably designed to be a simultaneous project, that might have been postponed for various reasons: funny how all those intelligent people across the street forget everything about COVID, when it does not fit their agendas. And by COVID, I do not mean only the prolonged lockdowns, but first and foremost the worldwide logistics crisis, with compromised supply chains and overall a huge blow on the transports' sector.

In fact, looking at those trademark websites, it becomes evident that first (now abandoned) trademark application for beer was filed in at the same time as the one for whisky, on December 28, 2018:

Separate categories, as per US regulations, need separate filings, of course. And beer is a brilliant, simple idea, with high quality local ingredients (it's really barley, water, hops and yeast) relatively easy to source. Well, spare perhaps for the hops, but that is not really a problem, anymore:

(Source: the James Hutton Institute's booklet Hops in Scotland, 2018 - well, then. The institute is based in Dundee, by the way, so I think they know exactly what they are talking about, especially after a four year long feasibility study with encouraging results: https://www.hutton.ac.uk/news/scottish-hops-viable-commercial-crop-hutton-research-finds)

As I always make a point of reminding anyone, this page does not deal in fantasy and empty, meaningless scouring of social media accounts. And cackle to your heart's content, Mordor, but S seems to have a genuine, informed interest in the industry, as shown above.

This is a different business plan and a different marketing model, based on affordable production costs and yield/volume (as compared to successive, 'limited batches' of tequila or whisky, where the accent is placed on the excellence of the product and know-how, as reflected in the final price tag). You can bottle that beer or you can sell it on tap, partnering with local bars and pubs first, then progressively extending that network. And I bet the farm it is going to be a premium, artisanal beer first, with options open for a more democratic product, once brand awareness is properly built: beer is versatile, like that.

Whisky and gin were expensive, carefully curated pet projects. Beer is a fun, easy and lucrative one, with a wider clientele and fast growing potential. And this is how that unknown, struggling Scottish actor who once was the face of Tennent's has a fair opportunity to strike it big. To be followed, which I might do. And this is also how his products could cover the entire price range, from luxury to affordable.

It is also always disheartening to see how all those bitter women congregating on certain Tumblr pages feel the need to dismiss anything he does. As I always said and I always will, many of them have no idea about the very basics of business and trade, no exposure to that world and, to be honest, no particular intellectual acuity. Plus I bet the farm many of them lie about their own circumstances: it's easy to pretend, on the Internet and always sexier (and lame, of course) to introduce yourself as a corporate whatever than a secretary. But I wonder how would they feel, in the unlikely situation they would be running their own lemonade stand, if passers by started cackling and bitching about their trade, out of the blue.

So, all in all, we seem to be dealing with some careful preparation, portfolio diversification and yes, taking much needed strides away from McGrandma. To be continued, of course...

PS: FMN Gin, still crickets? Ahhh...

From Retail to Logistics: Exploring Inc & Co’s Diverse Investment Portfolio

Since its founding in 2019, Inc & Co has emerged as a key player in the private equity space by building a diversified portfolio across multiple industries. What sets the firm apart is its ability to seamlessly manage investments that span from retail and luxury goods to logistics and data analytics, creating synergies that drive growth across the board. Under the leadership of Group CEO Jack Mason, Inc & Co has strategically acquired businesses with untapped potential, guiding them toward profitability through digital transformation, operational restructuring, and strategic leadership.

In this article, we explore the diverse investment portfolio of Inc & Co, focusing on how the firm has leveraged its expertise to turn around businesses in various sectors, while also creating a synergistic ecosystem that benefits all its acquisitions.

The Strength of a Diversified Portfolio

Inc & Co’s investment strategy is built on the principle of diversification. By acquiring businesses across a broad range of sectors—each with its own unique strengths and challenges—Inc & Co reduces its risk while maximizing growth opportunities. This diversified approach allows the firm to withstand market fluctuations in any one industry while continuing to grow its overall portfolio.

Let’s take a closer look at the key sectors in which Inc & Co has made significant investments.

1. Retail: Revitalizing Brands and Reaching New Markets

Retail is a core focus for Inc & Co, and the firm has a strong track record of acquiring retail businesses with unrealized growth potential. These acquisitions have ranged from established family-run businesses to innovative brands in the luxury goods sector.

Maker&Son: A Luxury Brand Transformation

One of the most notable acquisitions in the retail sector is Maker&Son, a luxury furniture brand specializing in handcrafted, sustainable products. When Inc & Co acquired Maker&Son, the company had a strong product offering but was struggling to scale and reach new markets due to operational inefficiencies and limited digital presence.

Under Inc & Co’s ownership, Maker&Son underwent a complete transformation. The firm introduced a digital-first strategy that enhanced the brand’s e-commerce capabilities, allowing it to expand its customer base globally. Inc & Co also streamlined the brand’s supply chain, improving production timelines and distribution networks. As a result, Maker&Son became more efficient, profitable, and better equipped to compete in the luxury furniture market.

Chase Distillery: Heritage Meets Innovation

In addition to luxury goods, Inc & Co has ventured into food and beverage retail with its acquisition of Chase Distillery, a premium vodka and gin brand. Known for its farm-to-bottle approach, Chase Distillery faced challenges related to brand positioning and distribution. Inc & Co’s expertise in digital marketing and operational efficiency enabled the distillery to optimize production processes and implement a targeted marketing strategy, ultimately expanding its reach within the premium spirits market.

These examples highlight how Inc & Co’s ability to implement operational improvements and digital strategies has revitalized retail businesses, allowing them to reach new heights and appeal to a broader customer base.

2. Logistics: Streamlining Operations for Growth

Logistics is a sector where Inc & Co’s investments have had a transformative impact. By acquiring businesses that specialize in transportation, supply chain management, and fulfillment services, the firm has helped optimize the logistics of its retail and data-driven ventures.

Inc & Co Logistics: Delivering Operational Excellence

Inc & Co Logistics, the firm’s specialized logistics arm, is dedicated to improving the supply chain operations of the companies within its portfolio. By consolidating logistics under one umbrella, Inc & Co ensures that its retail companies benefit from faster, more reliable delivery services, cost-effective distribution, and enhanced inventory management. This operational improvement has been a key factor in the firm’s ability to scale businesses like Maker&Son.

Additionally, by investing in logistics technology—such as inventory management systems and automated fulfillment solutions—Inc & Co Logistics has improved efficiency and cost-effectiveness for businesses across the portfolio. These improvements are particularly critical in sectors like retail, where customer expectations for fast and accurate deliveries are higher than ever.

Synergies Between Retail and Logistics

One of the major advantages of Inc & Co’s diversified portfolio is the synergies between retail and logistics. By owning both retail brands and logistics companies, Inc & Co can create efficiencies that benefit both sides of the equation. For example, the logistical expertise developed through Inc & Co Logistics allows retail brands to optimize their supply chains, resulting in faster deliveries and lower shipping costs.

This integration of logistics and retail operations is a key factor in how Inc & Co accelerates growth for its businesses, turning what could be cost centers into competitive advantages.

3. Data Analytics: Powering Business Insights

In the modern business landscape, data is a critical asset for companies looking to scale. Inc & Co has made significant investments in data analytics, recognizing the power of data to drive better decision-making and improve operational performance across sectors.

Insights with Skylab: Data-Driven Growth

Skylab, a data analytics company in the Inc & Co portfolio, provides the data insights necessary for optimizing business strategies across the firm’s other investments. Skylab’s advanced analytics tools enable businesses to better understand customer behavior, streamline operations, and optimize marketing campaigns.

For example, the insights generated by Skylab have been instrumental in optimizing the digital marketing strategies of Inc & Co’s retail brands. By using data to better understand customer preferences and market trends, Inc & Co has helped its companies target their marketing more effectively, resulting in higher customer engagement and improved sales.

Data Analytics as a Competitive Edge

Data analytics is also a critical tool in logistics, where it can be used to forecast demand, optimize delivery routes, and manage inventory levels. The integration of Skylab’s data capabilities into Inc & Co’s logistics operations ensures that companies in the portfolio are using the most advanced tools available to make informed, data-driven decisions.

By investing in data analytics, Inc & Co ensures that its portfolio companies remain competitive in a world where businesses that can harness the power of data have a distinct advantage.

4. Property: Expanding Physical Footprints

In addition to retail, logistics, and data analytics, Inc & Co has made strategic investments in property. These investments range from owning commercial real estate to helping businesses expand their physical footprints in strategic locations.

Growing Retail Through Property Investments

For retail companies, having a strong physical presence is often critical to their success. Inc & Co’s property investments provide its portfolio companies with the infrastructure they need to grow, whether through new storefronts, showrooms, or warehouses.

For example, Inc & Co’s property division has helped Maker&Son expand its footprint by securing prime real estate locations that enhance the brand’s visibility and customer accessibility. This synergy between retail and property investments has allowed Inc & Co to create environments that are conducive to business growth.

Strategic Real Estate Investments

Beyond retail, Inc & Co’s property investments extend to logistics hubs, distribution centers, and office spaces, supporting the operational needs of the businesses in its portfolio. These strategic investments in property not only provide functional benefits but also help to increase the overall value of Inc & Co’s assets.

Creating Synergy Across a Diverse Portfolio

The key to Inc & Co’s success in managing such a diverse investment portfolio is its ability to create synergies between the various sectors it operates in. By connecting businesses in retail, logistics, data analytics, and property, Inc & Co enables its portfolio companies to benefit from shared expertise, resources, and infrastructure.

For example, a retail brand like Maker&Son benefits from the logistics expertise of Inc & Co Logistics and the data insights from Skylab, while a company like Baldwins Travel can use data analytics to better understand customer preferences and optimize its service offerings.

By integrating these diverse sectors, Inc & Co creates a self-sustaining ecosystem where each business can thrive by leveraging the strengths of the others.

Conclusion

Inc & Co’s diversified investment portfolio is a testament to the firm’s ability to identify opportunities for growth across multiple sectors.

The Gin Revolution: How Gin Branding is Reshaping the Spirits Industry

The gin industry is currently undergoing a remarkable transformation, characterized by an explosion of creativity, innovation, and strategic marketing. As consumers become more discerning about their beverage choices, gin branding has taken center stage in redefining this classic spirit. From artisanal small-batch gins to bold new flavor profiles, the modern gin landscape is a testament to the power of branding and storytelling.

A Storied Past: Gin's Historical Roots

Gin's journey began in the 17th century, when it was first distilled in the Netherlands as "genever," a medicinal spirit flavored with juniper berries. The British embraced gin during the "Gin Craze" of the 18th century, and it became a staple of British culture. However, its popularity waned over the years, eclipsed by vodka and other spirits.

In recent times, gin has staged a spectacular comeback, fueled by a renewed interest in craft spirits and mixology. The rise of small-batch distilleries, innovative flavor profiles, and creative gin branding have all contributed to gin's resurgence.

The Craft Gin Movement: Quality Over Quantity

Emphasis on Artisanal Production

The craft gin movement has redefined the way gin is produced and consumed. Small-batch distilleries prioritize quality over quantity, using traditional distillation methods and carefully selected botanicals to create unique and complex flavor profiles. This artisanal approach resonates with consumers who value authenticity and craftsmanship.

Brands like Sipsmith and Plymouth have led the charge in this movement, emphasizing their dedication to traditional copper pot distillation and the use of high-quality ingredients. This focus on craftsmanship has elevated gin to a premium spirit status, appealing to connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike.

Exploring New Botanicals

One of the defining features of the craft gin movement is the experimentation with botanicals. Modern gin makers are pushing the boundaries of flavor, incorporating a wide range of botanicals to create distinctive profiles that cater to diverse palates.

For example, Hendrick's Gin, with its infusion of cucumber and rose petals, challenged conventional gin flavor profiles and paved the way for other brands to explore unconventional botanicals. Similarly, Monkey 47, a German gin, uses an impressive array of 47 botanicals, including lingonberries and elderflower, to create a complex and harmonious taste experience.

Gin Branding: Crafting a Unique Identity

The Power of Storytelling

In today's crowded market, gin branding is essential for creating a distinct identity. Brands use storytelling to connect with consumers, highlighting their heritage, production methods, and unique selling points. This narrative approach allows brands to establish an emotional connection with their audience, fostering loyalty and trust.

For instance, The Botanist Gin from the Isle of Islay tells a compelling story of foraging and craftsmanship. The brand uses 22 hand-picked botanicals from the island, emphasizing its commitment to sustainability and local sourcing. This story resonates with consumers who value environmental consciousness and authenticity.

Visual Appeal and Packaging

Gin branding extends beyond storytelling to include visual elements such as packaging and design. A well-designed bottle can make a significant impact on consumer perception and purchasing decisions. Distilleries invest in eye-catching packaging that reflects their brand's personality and values.

Bombay Sapphire is a prime example of successful visual branding. Its iconic blue bottle and elegant design convey a sense of sophistication and luxury, making it instantly recognizable and appealing to consumers seeking premium experiences.

Targeting Diverse Audiences

Gin brands have successfully targeted a wide range of audiences by tailoring their branding strategies to different demographics. Craft distilleries often focus on millennial and Gen Z consumers who value authenticity, sustainability, and unique experiences. Traditional brands may appeal to older drinkers with a taste for classic cocktails and timeless quality.

Gin in Mixology: A Canvas for Creativity

The Gin and Tonic Renaissance

The gin and tonic, once a simple highball drink, has undergone a renaissance of its own. With the rise of premium tonic waters and creative garnishes, this classic cocktail has become a platform for innovation. Bartenders and mixologists experiment with various gin and tonic combinations, highlighting the unique botanicals in each gin.

In Spain, the "Spanish Gin & Tonic" trend has gained popularity, featuring large balloon glasses filled with an array of garnishes that enhance the gin's flavor profile. This trend showcases gin's versatility and its ability to adapt to different culinary cultures.

Crafting Innovative Cocktails

Beyond the gin and tonic, gin serves as a versatile base for a wide range of cocktails. Mixologists embrace gin's complexity and botanical diversity, crafting drinks that highlight its unique characteristics.

The classic Martini and Negroni remain staples in cocktail culture, but modern creations like the "Aviation" and "Bee's Knees" offer new ways to experience gin. The Aviation, with its blend of gin, maraschino liqueur, and crème de violette, showcases gin's ability to harmonize with floral and fruit flavors. The Bee's Knees, made with gin, honey, and lemon juice, balances the spirit's botanical notes with the sweetness of honey.

The Future of Gin: Innovation and Sustainability

Sustainability Initiatives

As the gin industry continues to evolve, sustainability has become a key focus for many distilleries. Brands are adopting environmentally-friendly practices, from sourcing organic botanicals to reducing waste and energy consumption. These initiatives resonate with consumers who prioritize sustainability and ethical production.

Global Expansion and New Markets

Gin's resurgence is not limited to traditional markets like the UK and Europe. The spirit is gaining popularity in emerging markets, where consumers are eager to explore new flavors and experiences. This global expansion presents opportunities for brands to introduce their unique offerings to a wider audience, fostering a new wave of gin enthusiasts worldwide.

Conclusion

The gin revolution is a testament to the power of innovation, craftsmanship, and strategic gin branding. From its historical roots to its modern appeal, gin has successfully reinvented itself as a versatile and sophisticated spirit that caters to diverse tastes and preferences. As the industry continues to evolve, gin invites enthusiasts and newcomers alike to discover its endless possibilities and experience the perfect pour.

Gin, a spirit with a rich history and a sophisticated profile, has evolved remarkably from its humble beginnings as a medicinal tonic to a staple in high-end cocktail bars. 

Today, premium gin represents a world of innovation, elegance, and luxury. This article delves into the finest aspects of premium gin, highlighting the intricacies of cold-distilled processes, the most refined selections, and the nuanced flavors that make these gins stand out in the crowded market.

1.The Genesis of Premium Gin

The genesis of premium gin can be traced back to the rich history of this beloved spirit. Originating in the 17th century Netherlands, gin's evolution from a medicinal remedy to a popular recreational drink paved the way for its modern resurgence. 

Premium gin, however, represents a refinement of tradition, blending centuries-old botanical recipes with contemporary craftsmanship. 

With an emphasis on quality ingredients and artisanal distillation methods, premium gin embodies a fusion of heritage and innovation, offering connoisseurs an elevated tasting experience. 

The History and Evolution

Gin originated in the Netherlands in the 17th century as a medicinal liquor known as genever, designed to treat ailments with its botanical-infused alcohol. 

It wasn't long before the British adopted and adapted it, birthing London Dry Gin, which became synonymous with gin itself. 

Over the centuries, gin has undergone numerous transformations, embracing advancements in distillation techniques and expanding the array of botanicals used to craft its distinctive flavor profile.

2.The Rise of Premium Gin

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in high-quality spirits, with gin leading the charge.

Each batch of distilled spirits is a labor of love, where master distillers skillfully blend tradition with innovation to create liquid masterpieces. 

From selecting the finest ingredients to meticulously controlling every stage of the distillation process, every detail is meticulously curated to achieve excellence. 

Cold-distilled: The Heart of Refinement

One of the most innovative techniques in the production of premium gin is cold distillation. Unlike traditional methods that use heat, cold-distilled gin involves distilling botanicals at lower temperatures. 

This process helps preserve the delicate and nuanced flavors of the botanicals, resulting in a gin that is both ultra smooth and incredibly aromatic. 

The 100% cold-distilled approach ensures that each sip is a crystal clean, completely neat experience, maintaining the integrity of each botanical's essence.

4. The Most Refined Selection

Premium gin makers are meticulous in their selection of botanicals. Juniper remains the cornerstone, but it is the addition of other carefully chosen botanicals that creates a world-class spirit. 

Ingredients like coriander, angelica root, orris root, citrus peels, and exotic spices are measured and tailored to achieve a balanced complexity. 

The result is a gin that is not only pleasurable but also sophisticated, with a silky smooth finish that lingers elegantly on the palate.

5. Exploring the Flavor Profile: A Symphony of Botanicals

Exploring the flavor profile of spirits is akin to unraveling a symphony of botanicals, each note harmonizing to create a sensory masterpiece. 

From juniper berries to citrus peels, the diverse array of botanicals offers a palette of flavors waiting to be discovered. 

As the distillation process unfolds, these botanicals infuse the spirit with layers of complexity, resulting in a nuanced taste experience. 

Whether it's the vibrant citrus notes dancing on the palate or the earthy undertones lingering on the finish, each sip reveals a new dimension of flavor. 

The Nuanced Complexity

The allure of premium gin lies in its complex flavor profile. Each botanical contributes a layer of taste, creating a symphony that ranges from subtle to bold. 

The interplay of flavors can be both delicate and robust, offering an indulgent experience that is better than mere indulgence. Whether sipped neat or mixed into a cocktail, our world-class premium gin delivers satisfaction with every pour.

Aromatic Excellence

Aromatic excellence is a hallmark of top-shelf gins. The careful distillation process ensures that the fragrance of the botanicals is preserved, resulting in an aromatic gin that tantalizes the senses. 

This seductive quality makes premium gin a favorite among both novice drinkers and seasoned enthusiasts. The aroma sets the stage for the taste, enhancing the overall drinking experience.

6. The Experience of Premium Gin: Luxury in a Bottle

The experience of premium gin is a luxurious journey encapsulated within a bottle. From the moment the cork is lifted, a world of sophistication and indulgence unfolds. 

Each sip is an invitation to savor the meticulous craftsmanship and exceptional quality that define premium gin. 

Whether enjoyed neat or in a crafted cocktail, the smooth texture and complex flavors tantalize the senses, evoking a sense of refinement and elegance.

 With every pour, enthusiasts are transported to a realm where every detail, from the botanical blend to the distillation process, reflects a commitment to excellence. 

An Everyday Luxury

Premium gin is more than just a drink; it is an everyday luxury. The elegance and sophistication that come with each bottle make it a perfect choice for those who appreciate the finer things in life. 

From the first pour to the last sip, premium gin offers a pleasurable experience that is both meaningful and purposeful.

Upper Top Shelf Quality

When it comes to quality, premium gin sits on the upper top shelf. This distinction is reserved for spirits that meet the highest standards of craftsmanship and taste. 

These gins are often produced in limited batches, adding to their exclusivity and allure. The attention to detail in every aspect of production, from botanical selection to distillation, ensures that each bottle is a masterpiece.

7. Global Innovation: Gin from Around the World

Global innovation has revolutionized the world of gin, expanding its horizons far beyond its traditional roots. 

From the rugged coastlines of Scotland to the sun-kissed vineyards of California, distillers around the world have embraced their unique terroirs and cultural influences to create a kaleidoscope of gin expressions. 

Each bottle tells a story of innovation, with exotic botanicals, unconventional distillation methods, and creative flavor profiles pushing the boundaries of tradition. 

As a result, gin enthusiasts are treated to a diverse array of tastes and aromas that reflect the rich tapestry of global craftsmanship. 

A Global Phenomenon

The popularity of premium gin has led to a global renaissance in gin production. Distilleries around the world are experimenting with local botanicals and innovative techniques to create unique gins that reflect their region's character. This global innovation has resulted in a diverse array of gins that offer something for every palate.

Tailored for Perfection

Each premium gin is tailored for perfection, with distillers taking a measured approach to crafting their spirits. 

This purposeful process ensures that every bottle delivers a consistent, high-quality experience. The attention to detail in every step, from selecting the finest botanicals to the precise distillation process, guarantees a gin that stands out in the market.

8. The Perfect Serve: Enjoying Premium Gin

The perfect serve of premium gin is an art form, meticulously curated to elevate the tasting experience to new heights. 

From the selection of glassware to the garnish chosen, every detail is carefully considered to complement the spirit's intricate flavors. 

Whether served with a classic tonic and a twist of citrus or in an innovative cocktail creation, premium gin demands reverence and appreciation. Each sip is a journey of discovery, unveiling layers of botanical complexity and craftsmanship.

This led to a decline in overall consumption as these venues account for a major share of alcoholic beverage sales worldwide. However, off-trade sales increased as people stocked up beverages to consume at home during lockdowns. Beer was the hardest hit segment due to its high on-trade consumption. Spirits and wine fared better relatively as they had a better mix of off-trade sales. Going forward, the market is forecast to return to growth driven by rapid recovery in the on-trade channel along with sustained elevated off-trade demand. However, risks of future lockdowns due to virus mutations remains a challenge in the long-term outlook. Maintaining operational resilience and adapting product portfolios according to changing consumer preferences will be crucial for industry players in the post-pandemic landscape. Fastest Growing Region in the Alcoholic Beverages Market The Asia Pacific region is poised to be the fastest growing market for alcoholic beverages over the forecast period. This can be attributed to improving economic conditions, expanding middle class and shifting social trends in multiple developing countries. Rapid urbanization provides major opportunities for premiumization as young consumers aspire for international branded beverages.

I noticed that Graham's publications about his bourbon (lives, videos with his wife, announced autograph sessions) always come with Men In Kilts official promo - which is even logical for him. But Sam 's Sassenach publications are not following the same pattern. Do you think there was a gentleman's agreement here? Maybe that's why that postponement?

Dear Sassenach Anon,

This is a very interesting ask, so I am going to give it my full, undivided attention.

I believe the Sassenach Spirits project is a labour of love, for S., not just peddling something to middle-aged, docile and even captive consumers. Also and digging further into it, I think that at any rate, by now, they should be looking for new ways and means to expand this finite and, all things considered, volatile clientele. Therefore, it is only logical to progressively emancipate the product from OL and MIK and start promoting its strong selling points (careful, personalized elaboration, high quality/luxury tiered, authenticity, glamour, passion and dedication, etc.) without these convenient crutches. SS's success on the long term depends on a new marketing mix and a wider net being cast out there, on that very competitive market. I believe we begin to see signs of this new approach with the recent gin promo, even if I am negatively surprised by the amateur logistics and also a couple of other things I shall not dwell on here. My friend @scullyloves-science brilliantly explained this, at length, here: https://www.tumblr.com/scullyloves-science/724928482377891840/a-little-bit-of-pondering?source=share.

Graham's project, on the other hand, is an opportunistic endeavor, with minimal effort, but nevertheless hoping for a quick buck, The amount of work he might have put into it can't even start to compare with S's efforts. It is too early to judge performance and I have my reservations on a prior gentlemen's agreement, which (to be completely honest) is just my humble opinion, nothing more. And last, but not least, Graham needs S's mommies to tout his bourbon around: it is a mandatory springboard and something no serious business plan/SWOT analysis could ignore. The MIK reference was, in that respect, unavoidable, if you want your product to have some sort of brand awareness as quickly as possible.

I also do not understand why on Earth do you still insist on linking that project being launched and the postponement of the LAX promo. Let me offer a couple other plausible possibilities: maybe the venue was not what they had in mind. Maybe the one they wanted was not available, on a last minute basis. Maybe he needed some rest and quality time (I will not insist on that, if that it's what you are looking for). Maybe you should break that silly hamster wheel approach to this, Anon: I am sure it's bothering you and I am also sure Graham doesn't give a flying fuck about you being worried.

What challenges does the India Alcoholic Beverages Market face?

The growth and operations of the alcoholic beverage market in India are impacted by many factors. A significant obstacle is the intricate and diverse regulatory environment that exists in several jurisdictions. The industry operates in a fragmented market because of state-specific laws, levies, and licencing requirements. Manufacturers and distributors face logistical and compliance issues as a result of this regulatory variability, which calls for customised strategies for each location.

The regular modifications to government regulations concerning the distribution and sale of alcoholic beverages represent another major obstacle. Regular changes to licencing requirements, advertising limits, and excise taxes can cause confusion for market players and disrupt corporate operations. The operating environment of the sector is made more complex by the requirement for continual adaptation to changing regulatory frameworks.

Furthermore, the current state of the world's health and economic volatility have created uncertainty in consumer purchasing trends. Market dynamics can be affected by economic downturns and limitations associated with pandemics, which can have an effect on discretionary spending on luxury and premium alcoholic beverages.
