You are here.
It’s not often when your first post-breakfast decision to make is, “Now, which whisky should I start with?”. If you’re an attendee at The Whisky Show however – and provided you’ve had a late enough breakfast – it’s more than likely going to be the case. Following an excellent Bar Solo breakfast, Liz & I…
Argh! So much going on here at Humpy Towers – I’ve barely had a chance to comprehensively narrate all of it in an overly bombastic manner, such as is typically the custom… The big news though is that tomorrow night – misleadingly, April Fools’ Day – will see the first instalment of Andy (of GoodDrinksEtc)…
