@whiskydiego Aye, still very proudly BBR, although, as with many, predominantly working from home rather than the fabulous St. James’s premises..!

[Rob Whitehead @BBRrob]

Convalmore 1969 (Btd. 1994) this evening. A scrumptious reminder of a lost world.

[Rob Whitehead @BBRrob]

@whiskydiego It was an absolute peach. Well over a year ago, but still strong in the memory!

[Rob Whitehead @BBRrob]

@edmoses Always happy to assist with fabulous drinks. Those old days in the shop seem like an eternity ago, especially post-Covid etc…!

[Rob Whitehead @BBRrob]

@Lenkster These are invariably such wonderful wines.

[Rob Whitehead @BBRrob]

@masaud_shah Bedrock Whole Shebang cuvee xiii - this stuff is brilliant. Omnomnom

@MaltBox @neilstucky1 @dailydrambyalex @GlenMorayDist @berrybrosrudd Well, whilst I couldn’t possibly divulge such vital secrets, but I’d often suggest trusting one’s instincts in such matters..!

[Rob Whitehead @BBRrob]

@MaltBox @Graham__Coull @GlenMorayDist @berrybrosrudd @GlenMorayIain We had a bucket-load of ‘07 Glen Moray casks. Every single one of ‘em was a joy. Whisky to drink. Beautifully made spirit in good American wood.

In the spirit of https://t.co/M8E0tIyuN5 I opened a gift I’ve been hoarding for some while. Ardbeg 1998 Toasted Oak cask #1189 - An extraordinary, smoky, medicinal monster. Filthy and fabulous oak intermingles with liniment of various kinds. Like Beelzebub’s personal Mezcal!

@rickfisher43 Buy it, keep it, drink it. A perfect triangle, although not always an equilateral one!

[Rob Whitehead @BBRrob]

A few words, to fill a few moments.

[Berry Bros. & Rudd @berrybrosrudd]

Have you got a bottle of something special squirrelled away? Something you'd been saving for that perfect moment? Our Spirits Buyer Rob Whitehead argues why now's the moment to grab the corkscrew: https://t.co/iyIu39wWWd

[Rob Whitehead @BBRrob]

Drinking a kind gift. Glen Grant 5yo, distilled 1979. Proper old, young whisky. Beautifully textured. Sweetly and delicately wooded. Herbal in all the right ways. More like this please, oh whisky deities!

[Rob Whitehead @BBRrob]

@vinesack Hi Joe, yes, I’m in St. James’s today until about 16:30.

[Rob Whitehead @BBRrob]

@grimnorth A smashing lunch in the Kings Head next door too!

[Rob Whitehead @BBRrob]

@grimnorth Yep, definitely me! My daughter was hugely excited to meet the Gruffalo, I was more excited by the 33 on the low loader!

[Rob Whitehead @BBRrob]

@MaltBox @ChairmanReserve @berrybrosrudd Sounds delicious, a splendid evening will unfold, I’ve no doubt.

[Berry Bros. & Rudd @berrybrosrudd]

"The nose is super freaky: all stewed and macerated fruits, exotic tobacco, burning Bakewell tarts, liniment, chicory and the faintest suggestion of singed motherboards."

Our Spirits Buyer @BBRrob shares how he was first introduced to Hampden's funky #rum.

Some words for your commute, or whilst waiting for the kettle to boil, or any other essential morning activities! https://t.co/xFfTkMddmt

[Rob Whitehead @BBRrob]

@edmoses @MackmyraUK Interesting indeed. None of this particular bottling yet @berrybrosrudd but watch this space, I'm working on it.

[Rob Whitehead @BBRrob]

Drinking a delicious @MackmyraUK from mulled wine casks. This is not normal, not boring, and not bad at all.
