Getting ready for our 4th blind tasting! 9 whiskies followed for 10 guests. Ambitious to say the least but prep is going well

[The Cask Blog @The_Cask_Blog]

I Battled through wind, rain and mud and made it over the finish line in 5 hours 15 minutes at @Thedramathon today.

Last dram in the house before I depart for @Thedramathon tomorrow! Wish me luck - 26 miles is a long way! I’m running for Cancer Research. There’s a link to my JustGiving page if anyone wants to donate. Every donation is greatly appreciated.

@MaltMusings Did 33k today in 3:37. I’m feeling better now but I was not great earlier. Whisky is helping! @Thedramathon in 19 days

Post long run recovery. @redbreastirishwhiskey should take the pain of 33km away, right?

I was much more restrained at The Whisky Social this year with the number of bottles I brought home.

This bottle is getting annoyingly low but if you can’t treat yourself after a 30km run, there’s something wrong. Today was my last long run before the @thedramathon in 4 weeks time!

I recently inherited this rather sickly little bonsai tree which had dried out a bit. I’ve looked into it and it seems to still be alive so resuscitation begins! Bonne Chance little tree!

Sazerac Time! Albeit lacking in actual @sazeracrye and @Peychauds bitters (which I have ordered)
