Ta - and yep, just me, so I expect that'll be in the grown-up category…

Worth asking - plenty of places host wine tasting events, so this isn't that unusual, and I'm sure we can come up with a better selection between us than they can, which will "complement" their existing stock...

I've been from the sublime to the ridiculous and back in the last few days.
That include a visit to the Welsh Whisky distiller at Penderyn (am I allowed to say that?) and a birthday present of a bottle of Octomore 06.1

I got a whisky glass and a miniature of Penderyn as a 'secret santa' last year. Can't think who it was from (except my boss is Welsh!). But it must be an acquired taste.
