Hurricanes

The spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a disaster not now being helped by another disaster -- The Hurricane season.  

Changes to Labelling Law

 Changes regarding the protection of Scotch Whisky, particularly the Single Malt Category will become UK law on Nov. 23. Interesting, as most fakes are supposed Blends, many of which are bottled abroad. Does that make sense ?

 

Whisky Fest Box

The 4th annual whisky fest will take place at the site of the Swedish company Box's Adalen Destilleri on Saturday 17 July. Skal Skal Skal!!!

Burning Peat

Now that the barley harvest has had time to rest, 2009's crop is being used to produce malt for distilling. On driving past a firm of local maltsters today the aroma of burning peat was very heart warming....more drams on the way!!!  

 

Finishes

Protection of Single Malts is at the top of the industry's priorities. If so, it would be good to know the industry's innermost thoughts about many of the "wood finishes" Currently in Vogue  

Problem Drinking - UK

 

The new Coalition Government has vowed to eliminate the dangerous drinking habits of the UK. These were entirely the fault of the previous misguided policies pursued by Blair and his cronies.....utterly preposterous!!

Global Warming Scandal

 

Coldest winter for as long as some people can remember, and the coldest that some can ever remember. There is no doubt that the jury is definitely still out, especially when it is known that man only contributes approx. 2% of the CO2 directly, and more especially when the Uni. of East Anglia is caught up in fabricated information scandals.  

Minimum Pricing

 

Russia has enforced minimum pricing on it's cheap end Vodkas. The punters will find a way around this, if they are of a mind to do so.

Would it work in the UK ?? Highly unlikely !!

Retail Prices

 

I noticed recently that a box of 10 medium sized eggs (probably factory farmed) cost around £2.40. That is exactly the amount that the old age pensioners have had their pittance increased by as of April. Another pretty disgusting performance by HM Government.

Binge Continues

 

It is impossible to break peoples' habits. Until England are eliminated from the upcoming World Cup tournament the celebrating will continue, and even when they are knocked out as surely they will be, the commiserations will take over!!
