My unfocussed whisk(e)y meandering. Not really a journey since it doesn't have a destination. #whisky #whiskey #bourbon #rye

Free whisky! The best kind! It's not bad stuff but I prefer more gentle whisky generally.

Yes, I didn't get on with them as much but I did buy one bottle. I don't remember which one, I'll have to dig it out. The Lakes is pretty good too.

Continuing the non-Scotch theme tonight. My favourite English whisky, autumnul orchards swathed in smoke. #whisky

Must have been a terrible cask if it took 85 years to come good 😉 😂

No, I don't know what I'm thinking either. Gold Spot is baked apples, cloves, cinnamon, vanilla custard.ECBP Rye is gingerbread, molasses, cinnamon, nutmeg, banana. Two Brewers peated is a special treat & I will be very sad when it's gone. Earthy peat, ashy, flinty with tropical juice. #whiskey #rye

At £45 I would be a big fan. At £55 it’s competing with GlenAllachie 12, Arran 10, Ardnamurchan etc. that’s a stretch.

Finally priced more appropriately courtesy of RMW!

A very nice chocolate vanilla sauce poured over tart tatin tonight. Great bottle. #whisky

I wish everyone would just move to synthetic.

Pete’s whisky, whiskey, bourbon and rye @whisky.vanjaarsveldt.com · 2d

Yeah, although the 12 isn't bad when you consider how many 3 to 6 year olds come out at £65.

I find this kind of pricing quite confusing. Glenturret
12 for £77 is OKish I guess, but 15yo for £165?

Nice! I don't have any Lagg, I need to get some.

This Glen Grant is perfumed, The Glenglassaugh is all ex-bourbon and it’s young and hot but fascinating. Set honey, granola, and cut fruit. #whisky

Glenglassaugh 7 1st fill bourbon
Glen Grant 15 batch strength

I didn't know anyone "drank" Malört, did you lose a bet? 😂

Pete’s whisky, whiskey, bourbon and rye @whisky.vanjaarsveldt.com · 2d

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

14 years in a 1st fill PX and 62.1% 😂 I bet its a serious sherry bomb but I'd have to factory reset my palate after that!

Pete’s whisky, whiskey, bourbon and rye @whisky.vanjaarsveldt.com · 2d

That's a lot of samples for a single tasting! My palate is tired after 4, I obviously need more practice 😂

Nice to see it opened and drunk. What did you think of it?

Pete’s whisky, whiskey, bourbon and rye @whisky.vanjaarsveldt.com · 2d

Can’t believe I missed this one 😢

Damn, I missed a good one 😢

I should be clear, stood up by a male friend. I’ve been married for 30 years 🤣

Pete’s whisky, whiskey, bourbon and rye @whisky.vanjaarsveldt.com · 3d

Was stood up but I found this place in Dallas. By golly I think I’ll make it! 🤣 #bourbon

Enjoy! I will live vicariously through Bluesky on plane wifi.

All they need to do now is price their whisky appropriately!
