  • Amsterdam, Netherlands Overview Introduction
    Amsterdam, Netherlands Overview Introduction Tell anyone you're going to Amsterdam and there's a fair chance they'll either sigh with envy or give you a sly nod. Amsterdam's reputation for tolerance laced with sin precedes it, but equally renowned are its scenic and cultural attractions. Amsterdam hotels are known for their cleanliness and hospitality, its restaurants offer world cuisine, and along the city streets is a shopper's paradise. Most visitors fall in love with the city and return again and again. Amsterdam is nourished by a wealth of museums, concert halls, and avant-garde theater and dance venues. Its relaxed and tolerant attitudes draw those looking for a creative, anything-goes atmosphere. Large numbers of beautiful tree-lined canals are bordered by streets with rows of narrow, gabled houses and 17th-century warehouses, making Amsterdam an architectural treasure trove. Amsterdam is much smaller in population (but no less interesting) than many European capitals. As a result, much of the city center can be comfortably explored on foot—or, if you want to look like a true local, by bicycle. Highlights Sights—The Westerkerk (West Church) on the Prinsengracht and the spectacular view from its tower; gabled mansions on the 17th-century canal ring inside the Singelgracht; the Anne Frank Huis; the Red Light District; Amsterdam-Noord. Museums—Rembrandts at the Rijksmuseum; the Van Gogh Museum; the Stedelijk Museum. Memorable Meals—Smoked eel at Haesje Claes; french fries with mayonnaise or peanut-butter sauce from the rear end of the Albert Cuyp Markt; rijsttafel at Tempo Doeloe; salted or pickled herring from one of the fish stands along the canals; traditional Dutch fare at Moeders; international dishes from Food Hallen.

  • Scotland's Whisky Cluster
    6106 - Industry Clusters and Firm Compe77veness, Örjan Sölvell Group Assignment Scotland’s Whisky Cluster Fall Semester 2016, Term 2 Date of Submission: 06.01.2017 Luca Flora, 41134 BrigiRa Molnar, 41139 Guido Sasahara, 41118 1 Gianluca Suter, 41147 Introducon and Methodology In this presentaon, the Scotch whisky cluster in Scotland will be examined on different levels, following the Funnel Model. First, naonal and regional framework condi7ons will be examined as they frame the environment a business is ac7ng in. Second, the Scotch whisky cluster will be analyzed in-depth with the use of several models. Retrospec7vely, the cluster’s history and legacy will be analyzed to understand its heritage and growth, before current trends and developments will be evaluated to eventually draw an outlook in the future. Third, as one of the most tradi7onal and formave cluster actors and one of the last family-owned dis7lleries, William Grant & Sons will be assessed exemplarily. Finally, based on all previous analyses and examinaons, policy recommendaon for iden7fied problems and poten7al threats will be given in order to foster global compe77veness and long term growth of the cluster. Analyzing Scotland’s naonal and regional framework condi7ons, it becomes apparent that the country’s heritage is deeply carved into its culture, social structures, legal system and the nowadays semi-autonomous poli7cal system. Scotland’s economy is at an all-7me high and even though it is s7ll trailing behind the UK in wealth, employment and innovaveness, the country’s compe77veness increases compared to the UK average with service sectors, North Sea oil and renewable energy as well as exports in the food and drinks sector building the corner stones of the upswing.

  • Some Facts on Scotch Whisky Compiled by Vipul M Desai
    SOME FACTS ON SCOTCH WHISKY COMPILED BY VIPUL M DESAI According to Master of Whiskey Tom Turner, the first rule of drinking whiskey is “drink it however you like”. There is no second rule, but, if there was, it should definitely be “DRINK IT HOWEVER YOU LIKE”. Mandates for a whisky to be called Scotch whisky are: 1. Distilled in Scotland. 2. Casked in Scotland. 3. Aged 3 years and 1 day in Scotland. 4. There is no requirement for a barrel of whisky that meets these criteria to be bottled in Scotland. 26 brands of Scotch are bottled in India. Some 20 million casks, over 500 million cases, are maturing in warehouses in Scotland. This represents the equivalent of approximately 10 billion bottles of Scotch after bottling. Scotch is sold in more than 200 markets globally. Scotch sells three times its nearest foreign whisky. A closed bottle of Scotch can be kept for 100 years+ and will still be good to drink. After opening, a half-full bottle of Scotch whisky will remain good for five years. The most expensive bottle of Scotch whisky today is Isabella's Islay ($6.2 Million). The oldest Scotch whisky on the market is the Aisla T'Orten 107 Years old, distilled in 1906 and available for $ 1.43 million (£870,000). The highest price paid at an auction for a bottle of Scotch Whisky is $631,850 for a 6-liter The Macallan "M" Decanter by Lalique, containing a 44.7% AB Single Malt. The highest price paid at an auction for a standard sized Scotch Whisky is £288,000 (US$460,000) for a 64-year-old 42.5 % AB Macallan malt whisky.
