Is it 2026 yet?

Already sick to the back teeth of festive adverts and it's only the 5th of November!

164 - Penderyn (Double Distilled)

I heard the Wolfburn is marked as peated on the SMWS list

I hovered until Management said 'do you need anymore'

And quite abruptly at that.

Management got her way 🤣

Starting with the Glen Moray shelves this afternoon.

I've had a few of these for a good long time. And a few Distillery handfills, filled by my own hands.

Little bit of John Coltrane playing to keep me entertained in the background.

Up since just before 2am. Bloody Barrett's Oesophagus..

Anyway, can't concentrate on reading so I've had music playing at a level so as not to wake the Wife as she's upstairs in bed with the cats, sound asleep.

Can't beat a bit of Roxy Music 👌

Ended up being 45 bottles on the first shelf.

I have obviously underestimated how many bottles I have 🤦‍♂️

26 bottles down... That's almost one shelf, 8 more shelves to do 😬

Then it's into the next room, and then Mother's to do the Farclas Family Casks 🫣

Starting to put my bottles on a spreadsheet (I'm sure @maltmusings.bsky.social would approve)

Have so many I'm not putting them in order, just listing so I can see what I've got so I don't buy similar (unless that is I want similar or the same)

Meanwhile I've got Miles Davis playing..
