A wee warm up dram before #BlindDrams - teaspooned Clynelish apparently 🥃

Poured and ready for tonight’s #BlindDrams hosted by @whiskywithmolly.bsky.social …. My daughter Abbie is going to join in on the tasting. She does know one of the bottles (I don’t), be interesting if she guesses which of the 5 it is 🥃

A great day at Glasgow’s whisky festival. Wonderful to see so many friendly faces. Some great drams tried too👌🏻

Given that Ardbeg seem to be marketing their leftovers, I asked AI to design the new label ….

Literally everyone in the whole world from Italy just arrived in the Pot Still. Luckily I got my dram poured first 🤣

Another @glasgowdc.bsky.social bourbon cask, this time with peat & at @potstillglasgow . Initial (oddly for me) view is I prefer unpeated, but the world spins in odd ways. I’ll do proper notes when I open my own bottle. Give Glasgow a spin - they consistently deliver spectacular drams 👌🏻🥃

A couple of great drams at the Bon Accord last night - the @glasgowdc.bsky.social @aqvavitae.bsky.social a true bourbon bomb and a smashing Nevis too
