28 May 2024 – Rohrer and Klingner Alt Bordeaux


Moving on to a new company today and for the next thirteen days: Rohrer and Klingner. They’ve been making ink in Leipzig since 1892, so presumably they know a thing or two. They make ink for all sorts of purposes (and you should always make sure you ink is suitable for your pen, because not all are), and they also make things like asphalt powder! Today we start with a lovely wine colored ink!

Bordeaux is not Chianti, even though the smudge gives this a Hannibal Lector vibe 🙂
