Gentleman who enjoy wild African safari hunts, perfectly aged whisky, well groomed facial hair, suits with coattails, top hats, and bow ties, ivory scrimshaw pipes made from the tusks of the ancient mastodon, old english sports cars, pocket watches, and the sound of a horse trotting along a cobblestone street.

Stjepan Hauser and Luka Sulic - Smooth Criminal

At the Art of Sophistication, we love music. All different kinds of music has certain elements of sophistication in them. Also, music with cellos is just amazing itself. Here we have Stjepan Hauser and Luke Sulic, two very incredible cello players, doing a duet of a very well known song. Smooth Criminal by the late Michael Jackson. Bravo my good men. Bravo.

Only the finest.

Here at The Art of Gentle Sophistication, we are incredibly picky about our liqueur.  A bad one can ruin a perfectly good evening of bear wrestling in the Swiss Alps.  That is why we take no chances and only drink the best.  A perfect example is from our good friends in Scotland with the Highland Park 50 Year Old, and even though we have never had the pleasure to taste this glorious looking masterpiece of single malt scotch.  It comes in an Oak box that has been hand carved to show the glorious handcrafted bottle inside, through a porthole made of Sterling silver of course.  Along with the Sterling silver on the Oak box, the bottle itself is incased in a beautifully crafted web of silver (Sterling silver of course) that was designed by Maeve Gillies of MaeVona, New York.  You must hurry though, as only 275 of these will be made since they are handcrafted.  And the cost of all this glorious sophistication and elegance?  A small cost of £10,500.00, and for our American friends, that is around $16,800.


Available here for a limited amount of time.  Drink responsibly mates.



Well. . .

The plot thickens. . .

Welcome my friends.

While sitting in our red crushed velvet chairs, in the library of our old English Castle in the southern hills of North Whales, smoking our hand carved, mastodon tusk ivory scrimshaw pipes filled with the purest cuban tobacco found in an ancient city that was once located on the top of Mt. Everest, my mates and I had the idea to share our practiced art and discipline of Gentle Sophistication.  As a result of the aforementioned sitting, we picked out a perfectly aged whiskey and set to work on our project to bring the Art of Gentle Sophistication to the masses.  The following entries will be our thoughts and commentaries on all that makes up the modern world.  Welcome my friends.  For we are about to embark on a journey.  A journey to enrich our lives with sophistication. . .the Art of Gentle Sophistication.
