UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE
Whisky Boy
Just to keep you informed. You are probably aware that we had a recent visit to Ireland and, of course, we had to see how “Whisky Boy” is progressing. The foal has really grown and is starting to change colour. When born he was a wonderful deep auburn colour, just [...]

Whisky Live 2010 or RAF Leuchars Air Show 2010

By A Wife • May 17th, 2010 • Category: The Wife's Woes

WOE WOE WOE - As a wife I don’t think I am high maintenance, I don’t think I am a diva and I don’t think is put too many demands on my husband. But I do have a fascination for - wait for it - fighter planes.
My favourite movie is Top Gun and I just [...]



Our first night on Islay - The Lochindaal

By Jim • Mar 6th, 2010 • Category: The Wife's Woes

Well here we are, we have arrived on this wonderful tranquil island that is Islay. We cannot encourage you guys enough to make a trip and drink in the beauty (and at this point I am not referring to drams - but that is another story) and purity of this wonderful place.
We have never [...]



Malt Whisky - How to choose a good malt ?

By Jim • Feb 17th, 2010 • Category: The Wife's Woes

Like most things we approach we all have our different techniques. For me one of the most difficult things is to purchase a  gift of Malt Whisky for someone that I don’t know what their preferences are.

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 [...]

Islay Malt Whisky and Music Festival (now only 9 sleeps and 6 working days to go)

It’s a Thursday, nothing unusual in that, except it is a beautiful day, in Scotland that is really the exception ! As said, it is a truly gorgeous day and I just had to get out for a while in my lunch hour. I don’t know if I have mentioned, but I work in Stirling [...]



Whisky Challenge

By A Wife • Apr 23rd, 2009 • Category: The Wife's Woes

Whisky Boy’s Challenge
I have decided that it is about time that I threw the gauntlet down and I am making a request that the Whisky Boys find me something Whiskyish for my garden. Now I am not talking about a couple of old empty bottles, discarded corks or even some half casks. There is a [...]
