You don't see them often, but if you're lucky you can still spot one of Britain's young wild bands occurring in nature. If these ones aren't hunted they may grow into a functional adult trio. Their lyrics will need some work though. #larrybstanding
Scotch Whisky is more than just a drink – it's the product of people, of ambition, of culture, dreams, sweat, graft and inspiration. Family, Agriculture, Science, Engineering, Design, Marketing, and Love. Produced by companies, made by people – and the people are part of stories, and friendships.It's through the love of Scotch Whisky that I've made hundreds of friendships over the last 10+ years: but it's especially poignant that one person who I'm proud to call a friend – Dr Nicholas Morgan – has had his book published… "A Long Stride: The Story of the World's No. 1 Scotch Whisky" – what bigger story in the world of Scotch Whisky is there to tell than the story of Johnnie Walker?#lovescotch #keepwalking

Boris Johnson: The Beast of Brexit
More a pamphlet than a book – I was intrigued into this by seeing it on a friend’s “recently read” feed. It’s a 60-ish page essay on the character of Alexander Boris DePfeffel Johnson, and given his temperament and past
Rum: The Manual
A companion to his excellent Whisky manual, but geared at The Sugar Spirit – Broom-san deploys his mixer-led grading system to inform notes on a load of different styles of rums, and paves the way to educate on different styles
OK, Wish… Seriously… I don't understand who you think I am.
