Zero to Fifty 2018 - ZTF - an Unusual Sri Lankan Oud Jungle : Sri Lanka, mixed region Distilled : May - August 2018 Wood : Gyrinops THE IDEA This was an unusual project. It yielded an unusual oil. We took a "compound soaking" approach. Several lots of mixed region wood was divvied up into 6 evenly weighed portions. We soaked 1 lot for 50 days. One for 40 days. One for 30. One for 20. One for 10. And a final lot with no soak. All 6 of those lots were then combined and distilled as a single batch. It took the better part of 4 months to gather the material, soak, and then distill the oil - and what the experiment yielded has confounded everyone that has smelled the oil... THE SCENT I launched this oil at the 2019 London Oud Fest, and it was a lot of fun seeing folks quirky faces and getting their feedback. "It's a Hindi!" ...nope! "It's a Laos!" ...double nope! "It's a Burmese!" ...tripple nope! You're getting colder and colder ;) "It's a ... I give up, what the heck am I smelling!?" (It's literally what everyone who smelled the oil said. haha) And to their amazement - Sri Lanka! This might be the most un-Sri Lankan Sri Lankan oil you've ever smelled. Does it have a barnyard opening? Yes, but no. Is it farm'y? Yes, but no. Is it cheesy? Yes, but no. Some tell me it’s a little fermentation - others tell me there is only a yogurty sweetness. It seems to reveal itself differently to different noses. But is any of this negative or unpleasant - or even in the normal spectrum of "too much"? No. This is fermentation taken to a high art. ZTF is all the best things you'll find in a Hindi or a Laos or a Burmese while being distinctively...different. Its complex. It's unusual. It's unexpected. It's nothing like what you'd expect from a Sri Lankan oil...which makes it everything you want from an artisan-distilled Sri Lankan Oud oil. EDIT - APRIL 2021 : Now that this oil has aged for several years, I feel the need to comment on how it’s been developing. On the front end there is a soft, almost oceanic breeze over distant farmland. There’s a Berry note that has started to develop ... like a gentle chewiness underpinning the ocean breeze. The complexity of this oil continues to amaze me as it continues to age and further develop. I can only imagine what a decade will do to it. ZTF is truly one of the overlooked gems in our current arsenal of aromatic treasures.
In Copenhagen, Denmark lies Amager Bakke, a unique power plant. Not only is it the world's cleanest waste-to-energy facility, it's also home to a man-made mountain called CopenHill with its own ski slope, the world's tallest climbing wall and challenging hiking trails up the building where you'll find the best views of Copenhagen. Opened in October 2019, the building was designed Bjarke Ingels Group (aka BIG) with an aim to create a building that can "contribute positively to the city, become part of the city, and even to be a landmark of the capital". The plant serves 680,000 people and takes waste from up to 300 lorries each day. Its steam turbine produces 63MWh of energy, while its heat exchangers are used in a district heating system.

Later, of course, the bird must get his feathers back in place by any means necessary.
