A walk round #BushyPark, at the weekend, and these guys were up close and personal. #Deer #Stag

And for the first time in nearly 9 years my face is bald! I don't like it.

Watching Deal or No Deal is a fascinating way to look at how greed affects people. Such an interesting social experiment.

When did a sticky spray on the hips of figure skaters become a thing? The commentator said its to help catch the partner. Just stitch velcro onto the clothing and wear gloves. Simple.

Watching the figure skating at the #MilanoCortina #WinterOlympics I've just had my mind blown with how good these skaters are (Team GB) but the commentator plays it down with "that triple twist was... OK". Ok ? It was amazing.

Tonight #Spurs have been quite good. It's clear that players coming back from injury is going to help.

Wow. Six years later we (the #AmateurDramAddicts) have branded clothing, glasses, bottles with our logo on, tasting books, pens and a tattoo. Over 60 tastings, 300 drams tried (I think) and a group that has grown from the Magnificent 7 to the Troublesome 12. It was one of my better posts 😂

I gave my best mate a cuddle today. The first since way before Christmas. If you get a chance, give your best mate a hug too.

The #Switch2 is superb! This new Mario Kart has taken a bit of time to get used to but it's great.

Christmas dinner about 20 mins from serving up. New oven mitts have got a run out and have performed well. The bunnies have been fed and are battling against strong winds (atmospheric, not them). Time for a dram soon, I think. #MerryChristmas

I joined #RareFindVault and this #Annandale dram is in the welcome pack. My, oh my. This is one of the best drams I've had in a very long time. If my snooping is correct I think I can get a bottle for around £70 which would be an absolute steal!! What. A. Dram. #Whisky

When did #Vimto become so readily available? When I was a kid is was only posh families that had a bottle. And my auntie never served it up. It's always been the best fruit squash.

I'm always interested in the people behind a distillery so consumers can make an informed decision to support them or not. With that in mind I've seen some noise around Witchmark Distillery. Anyone know anything about them?

I'm massively enjoy #HollowKnight even if, sometimes, it is a frustrating game where I am getting lost or looking for a bench. Think Metroid Prime but better!!

If you're heading to the English Whisky Festival in Birmingham, today, remember to speak with Bimber and challenge them about their finances and the financial support that goes from their company to a criminal.

I found this #Ardnamurchan on my shelf and cracked it open last night. What a dram! I think I picked it up for £75 or so. Full of red fruits, some hay, some salinity and smoke. Wonderful stuff.

Got hit with a parking fine so had to dive into my "idiot savings" that I have for when I make mistakes like this. Thankfully that doesn't knock on to my #Whisky budget 😂

It was an absolute treat to try this #TheEnglish members club bottle. Plums, jam, a delicate smoke, some kiwi? Another fantastic mini bottle and a great reason to be a member. #Whisky #EnglishWhisky

I visited the Grey Horse in #Kingston last night. The staff were brilliant and the restaurant in the back was fantastic. The #Whisky options were good but I wouldn't have minded a few more special bottlings.

Hey @bimberdistillery.bsky.social and @thewhiskywire.bsky.social As a Klub member I have tried to reach out across social media and email to find out if any money goes to previous owner Dariusz Plazewski (or his other aliases). Your silence is defeaning. You can answer yes or no. #Whisky

Bottle kill of this fantastic Hepburn's Choice, 8 year old Dailuaine. It's going down a treat whilst I watch the Snyder Cut of Justice League for the first time in a couple of years. #Whisky

Due to 'factors' (an intimate bum procedure a few years ago) I still have a ring cushion on my office chair. Mrs WW has used the computer for some bits today and didn't put the cushion back. I say that's bad etiquette (similar to not putting the seat down). Thoughts ?!

I can confirm that Jeremy has some great choc bars on his site. My Mrs loves the "Driving Me Nuts" and I'm in love with the Dark Choc Candied Orange!

This #Tullibardine, bottled by the incredible team at Southport Whisky Club, is fantastic. A drying sherry and fruitful glass leads to a brilliant dram. #Whisky

I hosted another #AmateurDramAddicts blind tasting, last night. Two bottles really stood out and I'll put a reveal on here later. The takeaway from the evening was... "never turn away from an IB".

WhiskyWizard @whiskywizard31.bsky.social · 17/08/2025
Whilst this #LochLomond was a great dram (especially for the price) I did struggle with it. For me the flavours were too tropical and too sweet which, when it had been open for a while, led to it being quite tarte. However I'm looking forward to future LL drams to buy and try 👍

I found a nice little indy spirits shop in #Brussels This is the happy face of a lad who found a bottle for the next #AmateurDramAddicts tasting. Also, I was really hoping the 40,000 steps these last 3 days would have helped reduce those hamster cheeks... #Whisky

The viewing gallery on the #Atomium was closed so I had to take photos through a window that has coloured glass, giving #Brussels a worryingly post-apocalyptic look!!

It was a mere matter of minutes from booking into my hotel to buying my first bar of choc in #Brussels The diet had been going so well 😀
