Live Lounge in Cardiff.

Finding both of these in a bar from under £7 a dram was a very positive experience.

Cask strength, single cask, palo cortado matured, 16yo, Caol Ila.

What can go wrong?

My phone tells me it’s been a whole year since @billyabbott.co.uk and the Whisky Exchange came to Cardiff.

Come back soon!!

Easily. Well worth it if you’re ever in London at the right time

Ever wondered what a £75 Vintage Tasting gets you at Cadenhead’s in London?

It turns out to be eight great whiskies, all over 20 years in age, with a total bottle value of £3320.

I’d recommend it for the 25yo Ben Nevis and 29yo Springbank. But the £1000 29yo Ardbeg was also very, very good!

With that line up it’s a shame rugby doesn’t have 30mins of extra time

Don't be silly Ed. You're better than this.

I really liked this. And great value from @AberdeenShop

Finally got to call in at Milroy’s in Soho last night. Plenty of interesting choices behind the bar. I made myself the below mini flight and their 9yo Campbeltown was star of the show. It tasted like a nice mix of Glen Scotia and Longrow.

That’s my Burns Night done

logic checks out to me!

i can't say it has worked so far

Yeah. Also I have more than enough unopened whisky to last a year so by all rights I should not really be buying anyhow. It’s themed group tastings which get me buying given their limitations.

This is my third attempt

I suspect it will end up limiting me to about 8 based on average spend.

I'm not one for new year's resolutions. but i am reducing my whisky budget this year to £650. That should be fine. But history tells me it won't be.

Is anyone any better at sticking to whisky limits?

New #whisky blog out today. It's the 100% ex-bourbon Springbank 18 [2024 edition].

This was one of the best whiskies of the year according to the @OnlineScotchWA. It's nice to have been able to try it.

Worth a try. Should be decent I think.
