My unfocussed whisk(e)y meandering. Not really a journey since it doesn't have a destination. #whisky #whiskey #bourbon #rye

Mrs vJ is making her annual visit to whiskey land with Sagamore Rye and coke. I’m tucking into this gorgeous PX and Oloroso cask Lagavulin.

@whiskypad.bsky.social this port cask version appears to be a lot lighter than my last one. I don’t know the batch of the last one, I gave it away but this one is 2022.

My favourite bourbon is this William Larue Weller. The soft cherry, vanilla and caramel with the beautiful spices are exactly the things I like in a bourbon. After sweet I need peat so Ballechin and Lagavulin should meet the need! #whisky #bourbon

My kind of evening.

Two special releases to start my weekend. Glen Ord is not usually on my radar but I'm a sucker for a bourbon cask, even with the cask end finishing.

Trying not to open any bottles but I’m very curious and you lot seemed to enjoy this Wireworks.

The Cragganmore Distillery Exclusive is very floral, honeysuckle and beeswax. The Linkwood is a spiced Christmas cake. #whisky

Had to revisit these tonight. I’m letting them rest until 430. Or that’s the plan anyway.

Anyone planning on getting the 2025 PC18? £175 is £10/year which seems to be the going rate these days.

After 3 failed transactions and 4 years of pain and frustration we finally exchanged contracts on a house today so celebration time! This SMWS 33yo Macallan is sublime with a depth that the distillery 30 is missing. I've included their notes because they are so much better than mine. #whisky

Everyone else already has theirs, I think mine must have walked to London 🤣

Enjoying some fun things tonight. The Highland Park is like a dirty Club orange and the Longmorn is apples, pears, honey and very lively spices. #whisky
