I’ve not made this decision lightly, but another book I’ve been writing has taken priority.
I’ve officially pushed back the release date for Theo Newton book three to March 2026. Changes will be pushed through in coming days.
I apologise to anyone who is eagerly anticipating the conclusion to the series, but I want the best possible ending & I’m sure you won’t be let down when you read it

I did enjoy this when I first opened it, but time has not been good. Personally I think the 12 is better:
Value, Flavour and accessibility.
But it is still a decent dram. It’s just too far north of my spend limit.

Probably the best core range peated whisky available.
Excellent value.
Superb taste.

I missed the chance of this local offer, apparently the queues to grab them were as expected.
But what this shows once again is that the markup (if it isn’t loss making) is part of the reason the industry is in downturn.
Would love to try a whisky advent calendar, they are just too expensive.

Two amazing Irish whiskeys recently finished.
The #PowersJohnsLane is definitely going to be a repeat purchase.
The #DingleIrishWhiskey should be a core bottle. Amazing stuff. @whiskygraham.bsky.social did a fantastic job with that one.
