Can I do a Cosmo-style drink, make it sour and without vodka?
How about this: White rum, cranberry, lime and Triple Sec. I was stunned by the taste. Shaken and served with a large cube of ice. Excellent variation.

It's hot, so let's keep it simple. 50ml of Tobermory Gin (excellent gin from a whisky distillery on the Isle of Mull), 20ml La Copa vermouth (from the Gonzalez Bias Sherry producers) and the home-medicin from our grandmothers, 10ml Elixir d'Anvers. Stir ice-cold. Cheers!

Happy World Whisky Day… with a plot twist. 🥃

I had planned a quiet, dignified dram to celebrate.
Instead, the cork decided it had other ideas.

The moment I pulled it, it disintegrated into what can only be described as “organic confetti” — hundreds of tiny cork fragments floating through a perfectly good whisky. A collector’s nightmare. A whisky lover’s emergency.

So today’s tasting ritual became:
✔ Decanting
✔ Filtering
✔ Straining
✔ Trying not to lose a single drop

A useful reminder that whisky isn’t always about polished crystal glasses and romantic storytelling. Sometimes it’s patience, problem-solving, and knowing how to rescue a bottle without damaging the spirit.

For those wondering: yes, the whisky survived beautifully.
And yes, the first sip tasted even better after earning it.

Happy World Whisky Day to everyone celebrating — may your corks stay intact and your drams stay plentiful. 🥃
