I had lofty goals about writing a few blog posts to catch up from my recent bout of negligence. Especially since I have a long trip coming up, well, tomorrow. But then I woke up with a head cold and so there goes any hope of tasting whisky. Sorry? (Yes sorry) I hope to get …
A quick mid-week note (I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays!) to bring you a free eBook (PDF format) by a new spirits publisher and app developer called Distilando. The eBook is nicely formatted and has a little bio on each Islay distillery. If you aren’t already well-versed on these distilleries you might find some …
