Better to have tried, died and drank good whisky than to have sat on your arse and drank from an empty cup.

Having a pedal to @Ncnean later this morning for their Open Day. Forecast is looking a tad soggy, however NcβNean will become Distillery #105 or is it #106 π€ on the #DistilleryBikes hitlist π₯π΄

A great set of drams. The 12 ahead of the smoky 12 for me. The Forbidden Fruits a close third #GlenMorayWhisky

GM 12 Smoky Palate: Toasted marshmallow, bbq pulled pork, honeyed sponge. Smoke is now a bit more ashy & herbal. Some green apples. First time trying this, it wonβt be my last. #GlenMorayWhisky

GM12 Palate: The freshness from the nose follows through to the taste. Honey, Watermelon, Pear, Coriander, Sherbet Lemons, hint of pepper. Just a great starter dram. Forgot how good this was. #GlenMorayWhisky

On Skye for a couple of days so might as well take in @RaasayWhisky this morning and @torabhaig this afternoon. However, no bike, so they are not to become distilleries #104 & #105. π₯

Great craic was enjoyed on yesterdays club night at @marinestoney. We unveiled & sampled 5 bottles from the wonderful @DornochDist Mystery Malts Series and I think we did rather well with the bottles we received. The Bruichladdich Rhinns coming out on top.
