I’ve been working hard to sort out the much neglected Cocktail Section of the website. After taking a long hard look at it and realising that it was really only some recipes pasted into a long list, the OCD took over.
So, what we now have is a neat title page listing cocktails by individual spirits. [...]
There doesn’t appear to be a rum timeline anywhere on the net, or at least not a comprehensive one. All of this information has been colated from other websites and a couple of books, i’ve just put it in order with dates.
It would be pretty cool if this resource could grow, so if you have any interesting and relevant dates or facts in rums history drop a comment and i’ll include it. [...]
Finally I’ve got a whisky distillery visit under my belt! I took a trip up to Edinburgh on Wednesday and was lucky enough to get a very comprehensive tour of a benchmark distillery at Glenkinchie.
Glencinchie is one of only three remaining Lowland malt distilleries, it was established in 1825 and is situated about 20-30 minutes form Edinburgh.

Lots of tasting and training sessions on all sorts of liquor over the last few weeks have well and truly fortified my pasion for alcohol.

If you want to know a bit more about Johnnie Walker feel free to contact me, but the general gist is this: John Walker started blending whisky back in 1820 in his grocers shop in Kilmarnock [...]
Make no mistake, i’m an espresso boy. My career in coffee has developed from a love of espresso and the milky drinks that go with it, for me filter has until now been a cheap and easy way to stew coffee to the brink of glorious insipid death. It’s only in the last year that I have really come to appreciate the potential genius of good filter coffee, as well as other brewing methods and i’m pretty excited about it…

- #Internet masturbation it may be, but a google.co.uk of "drink blog" brings TWDB out at the top of the page. The same on google.com brings TWDB out second from the top.
- #Upgrading wordpress is nver as easy as it should be, this time it managed to log me out and made it impossible to get back in. For a moment I thought the blog was going to sit here like a vegetable forever.
- #Keep track of those noisy commenters and their opinions.
Fit in. Be like everyone else. Look at these...
