Great vlog Jeff, brings back memories of a terrific weekend. Didn’t realise you’d been to Glengoyne. Hope the Cambus sample went down ok. Happy to put you up at mine next time, can definitely promise a better nights rest than the Arttor!
@JeffWhisky Жыл бұрын
Thanks buddy! Yeah, it was something that I debated and with my flight landing slightly early I went for it and booked my tour on the bus. I had the Cambus sample last night, thank you so much. It was a very different beast with that sherry hit. Cheers for the kind offer mate, think anything may be better than the Artto

@@JeffWhisky Sorry for the late answer, Jeff. But - YES! I would have been there this year, if not for the fact that I had a concert ticket in Glasgow for November 28 (Extreme, More Than Words - everybody know them...) and just spent a week in Glasgow from November 26 to December 1. It wasn't realistic to either stay in Glasgow for 2 weeks or to go twice withing such a short timespan. But yes - I WILL be there at some point. TBH, I just spent my first 5 days (ever) in Glasgow last week - and I'm already thinking about how and when I can get back to Scotland 😂 Cheers buddy... hope to meet you at some point.

was class bumping into you man, glad you had a good time! - I ran out of time in session 2 and did not try so many things I had planned to try, but the group in bon were lovely - not quite sure why that woman was going around telling everyone it was private, as I have never experienced that in there before, especially on a Saturday night - but it is the best pub in Glasgow for a dram so I am pleased you got to sample that! Me and my brother were absolutely sauced by the time we bumped into you and Vin, and you both made him feel so welcome - he is very new to whisky - so thanks for that! 🥃

It was my first GWF also (1st festival ever really) and I too wish I had stopped a moment to peruse the brochure before bouncing from table to table and room to room. I took a breather / water break at one of the tables and chatted with 2 seasoned festival pros. They educated me on using the brochure to map out the plan of attack. It seems somewhat mean to say this but I did try the 20 yo Port Charlotte from Whisky Sponge and it was my favorite dram of the day. We didn't get to chat much over the day but I look forward to chatting more at the next one! Cheers!
