Intrepid Mariner

P: sugared almonds, some soor plooms, salted caramel.

its a really easy to drink solid bunna

however i know Bunna themselves love a silly price but 275 seems way off piste

a ¼ past

P: it was like the nose was playing a prank on me*

some heft and chew to it, sweet burnt ends, chocolate gâteau, curly wurlies and tree bark

ABV has coated my entire mouth and provided a pleasant tingle

*i am getting new windows fitted and the house reeks of silicone

When folk say grain has to be old to be good that clearly haven't had this.

Look at the colour of this 5yo NB
Absolutely bursting with flavour too

’Twas the night before Christmas, all quiet and still,
Not a creature was stirring on house, yard, or hill;
The Glencairns were placed by the hearth with great care,
In hopes that Saint Whisky soon would be there;

Merry Christmas all!

In the spirit of Christmas

If you are UK based and you message me your address I will pick some people at random and send them then some whisky samples

So a man rang my doorbell today to ask me where I get the Christmas lights I have in my garden because his kids love seeing them when they drive past

It made me so happy that it was bringing people joy

Maybe the world isn't completely fucked

Right as Rain
P: More Biscuit less fruit, Rye spice is at the forefront with the Malt making it a bit more savoury , Christmas ham, sour dough and salted butter

"as slippery as a baggy up a border burn"
