The heels continue to be depleted during the lockdown, but today there is no other bottle more fitting to say farewell to than this fantastic @Ardbeg Dark Cove Committee Release. Happy #ArdbegDay everyone! Stay safe!

Today’s #COVID19Lockdown dram is a golden oldie - a 10yo @Ardbeg distilled in 1996 and bottled at 50% ABV by @DLaingWhisky in October 2006. This one was DEEP in the back of the cabinet and such a beauty! Take care all! #StayHome #StaySafe #drinkalone

This 18yo 1994 single cask peated bottling of @TheBenRiach for the @Quaich_Cgy is a stunner. Sooo dark you’d think sherry cask but aged only in virgin American oak! A perfect #StayHomeSaveLives dram as the COVID heels clean-out continues! Take care and stay safe!

The #Covid19Lockdown continues and one of the only good things has been finding the bottles at the back of the cabinet! Like this 20yo 1994 @Glendronach we picked up from @VinesWines in #YEG aged in an Oloroso Puncheon 1051 and bottled at 54.2% — Oh my!! #stayhome #staysafe

The #SelfIsolation heals party continues. This limited edition delight from @CompassBox is the latest casualty. Bottled exclusively for @Selfridges it is a lovely dram to watch the last snow fall of spring in Calgary! Take care and stay safe everyone. #stayhome #drinkalone

It’s kinda tough finding interesting things to do, and drink, during the COVID-19 lockdown. A fond farewell to this fine 1998 Glen Garioch Black Gold series from @CarnMorWhiskies and our friends at @raredrams Another fave gone 😢. Oh well! Stay safe everyone! Slàinte mhath!

@PeterR86199808 @Ardbeg We visited @Zuidam_Distil yesterday and sampled some of the new releases and a bunch of cask samples. Also brilliant!

On the way to #Cooperstown to visit the @CooperstownDi and timing worked out perfectly to catch the @RedSox and @Yankees game at #YankeeStadium

This mini @bowmore was a gift from Nick at @abzwhiskyshop on my last visit to #Aberdeen - Gorgeous little dram. Cheers Nick!

Back on the #RoyalMile where we encountered the @Ardbeg VW Bus in front of the @RoyalMileWhisky shop

[Greg Winters @Craftworkgreg]

Absolutely excellent Bloody Mary mix from @BloodyBens - it’s fantastic with the #BlackTomatoGin (coming to Alberta soon)!

[Greg Winters @Craftworkgreg]
