“Whisky Live” is over “lets eat”
Well what a night was had by all. The meal was a great success, hard work, but enjoyed by all. As you know the Whisky Boys had attended the Whisky Live event (Jim, Dougie, Nicola and “Our American Ambassador” Bruce), and I am sure they will provide you with an [...]

Well, well well - how good was our day at Auchentoshan Distillery.
Whisky Boy Jim received an invite from Laura Duncan to attend the Auchentoshan Festival. Unfortunately Whisky Boy Dougie and the lovely Catherine were off on an alternative visit to Bladnoch (for Bladnoch’s Folk and Jazz 3 day festival) so couldn’t come along, but Jim managed [...]

The last six months have been very difficult for both Jim and I as we have both said goodbye to our only remaining parent. My final goodbye to my mother was the scattering of her ashes in Co Donegal in a place called Rathmullan (where my grandfather was from).
When my mother died I requested [...]
