That was very diplomatically put 👍

The 70’s version is world apart.
What do they say about progress?
Well done, it’s one marathon I’ve had my eye on doing, maybe next year? 🤷🏻‍♂️
Some may think that I wasn’t kind and that they wouldn’t send it to their sworn enemies but… it has its place…
Saturday dramage starts with this #dramswap from @dramitmick.bsky.social

The nose is very pleasant on this, looking forward to the taste

Cheers Mick Slainte 🥃

I was decent, there was a freshness to it.
Morangie have it for £75 which is a bit too pricey, but I would consider a bottle if it was around £40 which I have seen.
Tonight’s dram is from @dramitmick.bsky.social A 12 YO Glenmorangie Bourbon & Calvados cask finish. Slainte 🥃 Mick
It will make you wonder when current blends went wrong. Keep at it and you might just discover the exact month and year. 😝
Loch Fyne have a heavy discount on Laphroaig Elements 1.0, 57% off or £103, bringing it down from £182 to £79

This is confirmation of a couple of points;
1. This whisky was extraordinarily overpriced to begin with.
2. The whisky downturn is real.
3. Whisky enthusiasts are past being conned.
I have to agree Scotty, 99.9% of the folk around here cannot drive for toffee, or coffee or whiskee.. maybe the last one is inappropriate. But they can’t.
I may or may not be included in that stat 😉
I chuckled when I saw ‘Very Old’ on the label of that 12 year old… hmmmm
My all time worst whisky I have tried is Ballantines Finest. I still have the bottle. I reserve it for shot roulette games & my enemies. It smells of Tip-Ex.
Handed over at a post office counter. No questions, just a typical grumpy assistant who didn’t want to be there.
Standard responses if you want to be creative with the true could be; Essential oils, beard oil, infused olive oil. Or a mixed care package for a friend which is closer to the truth! 😉
