Sorry if this sounds like an ad but I figured given the sponsorship of the rugby threads it would be acceptable. I have no commercial relationships with whisky merchants besides being a customer.

No problem. I only know the BenRiach, but that sounds like a nice tasting.

Yes, I also like Old 95 with blue cheese and water crackers. Mmmm. Six weeks ago a friend shared with me his last remaining bottle of Taieri George, hidden since they sold out in March. I had heard of it but never…

As a special treat they provided jugs of Emerson's Bookbinder from the keg downstairs as a palate cleanser between drams.

Christ, screw whatever they're trying to sell. Emerson's Bookbinder is like nectar from heaven. Heaven I tell ya.

WHY IS THE WORLD PERSECUTING ME LIKE THIS??? WHY DON'T I GET INVITED TO TASTINGS LIKE THIs??

Calm down, Rob: all things are possible. It was actually a public tasting, albeit quite good value (as whisky tastings usually are) for $50. (I was exhausted, needing to spend some time with…

I have zero interest in Whiskey, so when that bit started I started scrolling ... I thought you might let us know how the Tenancy Tribunal thingy ended!! (next blog perhaps?)

There was a regular called Callum who came in most nights after work. He was a pleasant chap, middle-aged, and always good for a yarn. Anyway…

Still, maybe…
