FYI, FYROM is a little behind the times. Its been North Macedonia since 2019, after much wrangling with Greece.

While today marks the discovery of LSD, I wonder if we will also be commemorating Bicycle Day on Monday, which marks the first intentional 'acid trip' and is considered the key date amongst LSD appreciators. Or so I am informed...

Simply terrific. I upped the peated single malt a fraction to taste, but this recipe is such an improvement over previous Blood & Sands.

I'm a big fan of Difford's, and don't take this the wrong way, but that entry on George Harrison is absolutely bonkers. Unsung hero? He was in the bloody Beatles! The 'least famous' Beatle is still really very famous indeed. Wikipedia will tell you that 'Something' has been covered over 150 times, and only 'Yesterday' has been covered more. That's literally the opposite of unsung. Very much sung. Oh, and 'Layla' is not spelt 'Leyla'. The cocktails remain A+ nevertheless...
