I felt really honored to be asked by the @ScotchWhiskySWA to talk about the 1823 Excise Act on its 200th birthday. Bravo to them for marking this major whisky milestone with this short film (in link below). Thanks for involving me!
Thanks to Arthur Motley of @RoyalMileWhisky and one half of the Liquid Antiquarian podcast for chatting to us about the significance of the Excise Act, what it contained, and what it meant for the #ScotchWhisky industry.

@Bill_Linnane@ClionasCarafes Agree. I get in arguments with people on subject of rice cookers vs toasters. Toasters yield burnt cold bread, yet we venerate the bastards. Click the rice cooker’s switch and the rice is ready when you need it. Serviceable rice cookers cost £30. It’s a Big Toast conspiracy.
@WovenPete Re ‘not being felt by the retailer, nor the wholesaler’. It is bad news for us too. The admin work on thousands of products is a major cost, let alone the effect on our bar customers where this rise will hurt.
@fishisoff@baz_dale @RoyalMileWhisky Hi Guys. Our fair selling policy remains in place on our website, and we’ve no plans to do anything daft and change that. Allocations will still be sold in the same RMW way. Cheers Arthur
@Freyamsr@corneliusbeers A gravy that absolutely ‘sticks two fingers up at the corporate chicken’. Then surprisingly starts to actually work quite well with the chicken, until you can’t tell what is chicken and what is gravy. It’s the vegetables I feel sorry for.
