SoB are focussed on promoting English whiskey as a hotbed of true innovation. We don't point fingers to suggest that our way is the only way. English distillers should be free to express uniqueness in whatever way they please, without judgement from those standing on the shoulders of giants. ๐ฅ๐พ

Interesting dram. Initially a slap in the chops, so deep and rich. Slowly warms on you with time in the glass and plenty of sips. Your palate needs time to adjust to this level of intensity, but it's worth it in the end.

I keep hearing the same idea repeated in distilling. More copper makes better whisky. It sounds technical. It feels proven. But once you start looking upstream at the chemistry, the certainty fades ...

The first

I taught myself to ferment by making wine about 20 years ago. Don't think I've made any since. So I've just bottled a natural wine made with grapes from a friend's garden. At 9%, it's a bit thin, but smells amazing. Will wash the turkey down quite nicely. ๐ท๐

Haggis, Neeps and Tatties. With whisky sauce and wee trees. whilst enjoying this stunning delicacy, my 15yo googled.. "what do haggis actually look like?" An image of a little furry creature with a side parting came up, I didn't know whether to laugh, cry or fess up. ๐ Delicious ๐๐ฅ๐พ
