Starting with the Glen Moray shelves this afternoon.
I've had a few of these for a good long time. And a few Distillery handfills, filled by my own hands.
Little bit of John Coltrane playing to keep me entertained in the background.

Up since just before 2am. Bloody Barrett's Oesophagus..
Anyway, can't concentrate on reading so I've had music playing at a level so as not to wake the Wife as she's upstairs in bed with the cats, sound asleep.
Can't beat a bit of Roxy Music 👌

Starting to put my bottles on a spreadsheet (I'm sure @maltmusings.bsky.social would approve)
Have so many I'm not putting them in order, just listing so I can see what I've got so I don't buy similar (unless that is I want similar or the same)
Meanwhile I've got Miles Davis playing..
