Now BlueSky is more active, I’ll only follow back if you’re posting majority whisky content to keep my feed more focused. Don’t be offended, I’ll still follow back if your content interests me or I know you IRL.

Reviewing CV’s. Agency guy trying to get a job with our company says he’s worked on a vessel I used to work on. I check dates and rotas. Shame that I was there when he said he was.

The Cairn - the official story is that the 3 year old release was made because they tasted it at 3 y.o and felt it was worth a sneak peak of 1,000 bottles. However their first official release of core range will still be at 12 years old.

For a pretty inactive account, I’ve had a spate of new followers, most without a drinks connection at all.
I suspect the bots are working overtime to check on any political comment I may make.

Narrowly avoided a New Years Day trip to A&E when my wife didn’t listen when adding wine to a pan full of meat juices. And boiling hot fat. It was going well until she put it back on the hot hob.
For the second time we have fat and red wine marks on the kitchen ceiling.
She was warned…

It’s a new entry for #ratemyrowie. Strathisla bakery in Keith this time. They have their fan base, but it’s a fail on this attempt, but with mitigating circumstances. Read thread for more. 🧵

Clearing out a wardrobe and came across this old gem. From 8 Sqn. RAF Lossiemouth when they still used the ancient Shackletons. I had work experience there in Jan 1990.
Been at least 3 decades since it last fitted!

My wife requested whisky sauce as we’re having haggis tonight. Despite me insisting that’s just for tourists, she wants whisky sauce.
So today we are using lamb stock and unloved whisky.
