Los Angeles has some big shoes to fill! Cheers to the athletes, the venues, the fans and the TV coverage 👏👏👏

Move over champagne and strawberries; 2024 is the year of coddle and chardonnay👌

I'm loving how a lot of Irish distilleries are using "turf" rather than "peat" in their branding 👌

Finally got around to cooking these iberico pork chops from @higginsbutchers. Incredible 👏

Serious evening of sport ahead between the culmination of the @IrishOpen_, @usopen final, @rugbyworldcup, and the first #NFLRedZone of the year 🙌 First dram on the block is the delectable @WhiskeyLiveDub edition of @KillowenWhiskey Rum & Raisin 🤗 #SundayNightSup

Can't help but question the sanity of other humans when there are already people upstairs on the bus but they're *not* in @Sav70 's seat 🤔

This is mighty in so many ways 👌 #FridayNightDram

Held a tasting recently with these and I'm only inspecting the damage now (all bar the Couvreur were unopened). By eye, I reckon the Couvreur pipped @DunvilleWhiskey for top spot (was a case of try them all and go back for your #1). I'm on the @TaliskerWhisky for #fridaynightdram

Superb service from @mitchellandson (delivered in less than 24 hours) and major props for their completely recyclable packing materials which also don't take up 40% of your wheelie bin (Cate Blanchett in LOTR: "You know of whom I speak") 🙏 A tasty drop too 👌🇺🇲 #FridayNightDram

Wednesdays; you know yourself 🤷‍♂️

Home from France with some whisky plunder. While the wine cork is novel, I had a bit of a panic when only ONE of the corks I had to hand fit the opening 😬 Bonus points for guessing the doner 🤓 Enjoyable dram though; big boozy sherry bomb with a nice hint of peat in its belly 👌

You can't spell Wednesday without wyne 👍

Sunday + France = Wine #SundayNightSup

Still in France, so this week I'm celebrating their time honoured tradition of not charging Irish prices for great Scotch 👌

Still in Bretagne, so continuing my adventure into the local libations with two stablemates from Distillerie des Menhirs. #FridayNightDram

Ah France 🇫🇷 Where you can go to what is essentially a Tesco express, ask for a local beer, and for the proprietor to produce a growler of beer made from local bread and seaweed 🙏 #VictoryinEurope

Relaxing with some @DunvilleWhiskey and snooker after taking in the serious spoils of Killarney this weekend ⛳

Sizable @OConnellWhiskey to see me through (at least the next few holes of) @TheMasters 👍 #SundayNightSup

Sitting down to some par 3 action at @TheMasters with a #200Fathoms and the last drop of Ned's cuvée 👍

Enjoying a @WesternHerd flaua & fauna while waiting for some focaccia (it looks a tad anemic since it's wheat free) to cool and my buddies to arrive for a blind tasting 😃 will reveal the samples shortly but check out the mahogany on #3 🙃
