Saw these guys (therhythmandboozeproject.com) last night at an @smwscanada.bsky.social event. Felipe on vocals & guitar & Paul (the Highland Cowboy) may or may not have performed the 1st washboard solo in recorded history. What a brilliant show! The whiskies were stellar, too.

The perfect Christmas whisky! This little beauty from Distillery No. 1 (which started it all for the SMWS over 40 years ago) was just released exclusively at Kensington Wine Market in Calgary. Limited in quantity and includes the first year of membership in SMWS Canada-the gift that keeps on giving!

It's a super interesting dram. I've laid it on a few of our whisky friends without telling them what it is & their reactions were all positive. Gave too many samples out and had to buy a 2nd bottle.

Our May Outturn is out and there are some great bottles (peated single grain, anyone?)! Some are sold out at some stores but generally everything’s still available (and really we’ll priced!). Check smws.ca for deets.

I've just broken the story on Forbes that Scotch whisky cask investment 'firms' Cask 88 and Braeburn Whisky have gone bust.
This is going to be an utter mess for a lot of innocent people who will lose a lot of money.

Drink more sherry! A dinner of tasty tapas in Edinburgh ends with some sherry, which is a great way to get familiar with some of the flavours imparted to whisky from various sherry casks.

More whisky folk joining the party here. Welcome Adam!
Well, I'm going outside of my comfort zone and giving this whole social media thing one last try.
While I was never a heavy user of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter - they were useful tools. But I abandoned ship after I realised how damaging the algorithms can be. This platform seems... less dodgy.
