Tipsy Midgy in Edinburgh. I've never been before but would definitely come back again. Absolutely incredible selection of whisky to choose from but ended up with a decent little flight this evening.

No trip to Edinburgh is complete without a little trip to SMWS.

Two more very tasty tastings this afternoon for Belfast Whiskey Week. Micil distillery with 3 whiskies, 2 Poitins and a Cream Liqueur. Then an Irish Single Malts over 20 Years Old (ish anyway 😂😂) #Slainte

Belfast Whiskey Week tasting number two of the day is the Redbreast Iberian Series - Lustau, Tawny Port, PX and then the Cuatro Bariles. Cuatro Bariles was the standout but PX wasn't far behind.

Not a bad way to spend a Friday lunchtime. Nice little beer and whisky tasting at Belfast Whiskey Week.
Teeling Stout Cask paired with a Hefeweizen @ 6%, Hinch Imperial Stout Cask paired with a NEPA @ 5% and Jameson Stout Cask paired with an IPA @ 5.3% #BWW25

It's been a while but a cheeky #midnightflange after a few hockey games. I've been head over heels in love with this LL DE7. This is my 2nd bottle and it's all I reach for. It won't ever top DE1 but it is damn good. Have a good weekend everyone!

I really enjoyed that Glasgow tasting tonight. Libby and Seb were fantastic as usual. My favourite was the Triple Distilled (Cask Strength version when?) Honourable mention to the Peated CS Batch 2. That was super meaty, sweet and really umptious.

Pouring my samples for the Glasgow Distillery tasting tonight and someone wanted to join in 😂😂 So she got some blackcurrant in a glencairn and she's as proud as punch.

I've been struck by a cold that feels like a plague for the last 3 weeks but finally starting to turn a corner so having a little post rugby dram. Hope everyone is having a nice Friday night. #Slàinte
