Prices seemed higher last night than they have for a while.
Maybe the talk of Auctions being somewhere to grab a bargain (like it was towards the end of last year) is starting to have a negative effect again for drinkers looking for bottles at auction?
Nice easy evening watching some movies and enjoying a few pours from some recent Thompson Brothers releases. Have a great weekend all.
Amazing work Cliff!
It was a good night to celebrate Christmas 🎄
Love Fun Loving Criminals! Huey’s show on 6 music is great to listen to on Saturday morning.

2 weeks since I tried this at a pre-launch tasting at @aberdeenwhiskyshop.bsky.social .
Just as good as I remember! Bottle might not last long!!
(Excuse the mess in the background!)
Weather turned this morning but was better by the time I was getting on the plane to come home 😔
Great weekend in Barcelona. Lovely weather, great food & beer. Brilliant company with some amazing friends.
Had you read the short story for Long Walk before Cliff? If so is it true to it?
I want to go see this film but worried it won’t live up to the short story, which is one of my top 3 King stories.
No, she’s just getting old 😂 Vet fees just seem scandalous nowadays.
Easy Friday evening dram. Much needed after today’s vet visit!
Ignore the shit photo!
Out for the local The Whisky Shop tasting. Lovely evening tasting some great drams 🥃
I’m always scared sharing my thoughts before someone has tried a whisky for the fear of influencing them…. however I don’t think that’s an issue here! Lovely drop right?
Congrats!
The first dram I had of this years 12CS was lovely and beautifully balanced cask influence from the rum, bourbon & imo refill Sherry casks. Enjoy!
And what a lineup!
Managed to grab a bottle of this from Uncle Bezos over the weekend for the grand total of £46.71.
Don’t normally buy from Amazon but that was too good an offer to turn down for a whisky I’ve wanted to try for a while.
Cheers 🥃
Sat with the bottle of @whitepeak.bsky.social Bourbon barrel tonight. Such a good dram, might need to get a couple extra on the shelf, just in case.
Good luck Cliff!
Relaxing by the side of the pool. Easy drinking Red Stripe (whisky selection is understandably bad) and still 24c.
Lovely evening to chill and enjoy a break.
It was great to make use of the nice weather and get a run in.
Great work!
I’ve got a pair of Asics Novablast 5 that I’ve really enjoyed. Super comfy and good as a daily for me, however they can be a touch difficult to find at retail (£135).
Heard good things about Adizero SL2 which can be had for about £100 and will be my next purchase in a month or so.
If you could visit only one of Worthy Park or Appleton which would be the better choice?
I’m off soon for a 10 day trip and only have these options as excursions from the hotel.
Thanks in advance and enjoy the break Steve. Looks lovely there!
Travelling to Jamaica soon for a family wedding. Would love to go to a rum distillery whilst there with family (who are definitely not spirit geeks)… so excursions from the hotel that I know for definite are Appleton & Worthy Park.
Any good? Or try to arrange a different distillery?
No point burning yourself out running. Listen to your body and take the time off and recuperate. Fitness will still be there when you get back 👍

#blinddrams #btc50 Dot 2 - P - Hotter but too sweet too. Buttered apples, pineapple cubes, too much wood at the finish.
