Happy weekend everyone!
Old certainly is often Gold. Back when volumous production and corporate pressure didn't overbear over TLC and attention to flavour detail of the craft and product. It's just the change in times. Good thing is it seems the same is often seen now in small volume distillery only exclusives. Whisky combo highlights. Finishing this champion of old orange valencence (with floral herbaceous notes), biscuit and vanilla bean 80s Glenmorangie with the flavour elegant perfect draw Don Pepin My Father Cigar ltd ed, and the 14.4 Distillery exclusive virgin oak Octomore with the almighty and flavour bomb champion Opux X Lost City. Ultra rare yes, but if fortunate to have, best shared with those special.
Cheers to your day with your special ones peeps.

From Beef to Bees: The Ginseng Whisperer & Her Barrel Secrets
My goodness. Talk about poetic.
After a whole week of searching for Hanwoo beef & seeing disappointment, I struck Gold. And to top it off, the owner's mother upon hearing I'm a whisky maker & lover, showed me her near-perfect home-made red ginseng barrel aged whisky & 17 year old Soju with bees! Honey, Yuzu bliss! And the meat....phwoar! Get In! Oh yes Please! The perfect Korean meal. Hanwoo beef cuts, Cask Strength barrel aged Soju, one Big smile!
Cheers Everyone.

And, Boom! Manu's High Octane whisky is ready, called It's Hammertime! Stuff dreams are made of. Just one explanation, F*k me, one of the greatest drams ever! Elegance, spicy nose into savoury salty palate leading to sweet thick spicy finish. Unusually incredible for a Tequila cask maturation, but we did finish it in Tawny. Now, onto our next project. Cheers everyone.

Call 000, we've got a whisky emergency! Could it be? Has the stethoscope gotten so heavy that the clinic's doctor has resorted to a whisky prescription with a dash of desperation or is he experiencing a temporary cognitive malfunction?
I'll have a Macallan & coke please
