vPub Live - New Bottles - A Lazy vPub

I know I should've had a better topic prepped. I know it's Halloween, we could've gone there.... I also know I was away last week, yet we don't have a better topic than... new bottles. What gives?

Well, here's the thing. Each and every bottle gives us the ability to tell a story, to talk about things around the bottle itself. The flavour, the cost, the evaluation, that's all great, but just being able to try these new things and consider how whisky is changing, constantly, is enough. Well, that and the fact I can't really think of anything that neatly ties these bottles together.

So, in the face of the imminent Glasgow Whisky Festival weekend events as well as the small affair of the OSWAs - this weekend! - I hope you don't mind if I choose to have a slightly lighter-on-effort vPub this week.

As always, I'm looking forward to it - I think I need the break!
