Its a fiery beast without heavy dilution. I had the next cask CM278.....ooof.

I was there a few hours ago too. Well, waiting outside for the 16 bus anyway.
Menu looked good.

How's the Orpheus, asking for a friend ?

Wonder if the intended 5p duty will be added too......?

Nice drams to help forget the nightmare 9hr journey to get here...
Tonight, the drams were:
1,Ardnamurchan, Paul Lanois.
2,Living Souls Williamson 13yr.
3,Raasay Marsala cask.
4,James Eadie Caol Ila 11yr Palo Cortado finish.
All good but rank wise, 3,1,4,2.

Young ?
I'll let you know by the end of the week!

What, the whisky or hitting 60 ?
TBH, both are ok, more so the other Paul !

Ardnamurchan AD/ Paul Launois, 57.1%
Ensign Ewart, Edinburgh.
Not a bad way to celebrate hitting 60 tomorrow.

Thankfully its only a wee sample and not a full sized sink cleaning bottle.

You'll have to wait......!

Last couple of days for me being a fifty-something too.
Got a very special Islay 5 yr old lined up.

Small mortgage required for that too..

Come on Geri isnt that bad.

The only whisky hangover i've ever had was following a few Kavalan's.....you've been warned!

Get it patented before they do.

CueCam next ?

Sunday #bottlekill of a wonderful #Bunnahabhain Bordeaux wine cask.
A fantastic whisky from the very first pour to the last.

Superheroes get hurt too it appears !

Eagle ?

Explain these then....

If i may sir, can I put these on the table so that i can go and practice the luge on the grand hall's stairway sir.?

Yup. Been there, done that.
A squash playing accident, or so I told people at the time....

I thought Wilko Johnson had returned !

Distilled sometime in the early 90's, this #Bruichladdich 12yr 1st edition finally sees the light of day....
"Clachan a choin" ...as they used to say.

I had a dram of it there years ago. Upon seeing it still on the shelf recently, i ordered a dram and the bar girl was going to till it under Port .....then a colleague told her and me that its empty and only for show.
Had an Octomore instead !

Thought as much.
The youth of today eh ?

We talking about the 80's Mike Score version or modern day, as he's bald as a coot now?
