I just love the idea of drinking Colt 45 from a glass
I forgot I was meant to be putting up some of my more recent glassware finds. Here's a blast from the past from Colt 45's short existence here - it's etched as 1980. Nostalgia can take many forms ...

If you live in Maryland or are a Baltimore Ravens fan, then you're familiar with the term Festivus Maximus. It's also the name of a limited-edition American #Rye from Sagamore Spirit. Click the link below to learn more. Cheers!

Morning all.

Just a little note to say I will be at the Midlands Whisky Festival in Birmingham this weekend, pouring some Torabhaig and Mossburn delights.

Do come and find me if you are going. Always lovely to say hello!

Sounds promising 😂
Top tip. Call into @aberdeenwhiskyshop.bsky.social before the National Whisky Festival and get some bargains to prevent impulse buying the next day.

The other top tip is to go when bursting for a wee-wee. You don’t dally long and it limits the wallet damage!

I’m against putting ice in whisky but hey, it’s your drink. Drink it how you like it.
The newest trend among young drinkers is something called “icy beer”—lager on the rocks, if you will. Is this the end of civilization, or a tasty summer treat? I consider the question.
