  1. Following the expiration of his BBC contract in 2001, Otis the Aardvark (born Brian McPhail) retrained as a tyre fitter, serving 3 years in Kwik Fit before opening his own garage and MOT station in Forfar. He has made sporadic appearances on quiz shows in recent years.

    Tried this Arran at the Pot Still recently. I’m daft for a PX finish, so this was right up my street. A bit spicy at the start but that quickly disappeared and had a finish that felt like it was hanging around for an hour after it.

    Not been there for years.

     

    Knew it had ludicrous selection but my malt knowledge was still a bit rudimentary when I was last there.

     

    Bon Accord also tremendous for the enthusiast.

    I absolutely loved the Springbank tour.

    The fact that everything is "in house" was part of the appeal in addition to the obvious of them doing good juice.

    Glen Scotia here too but need to see if they're doing tours. Will need to be tactical with things if I'm doing three 😄

    Resurrection Joe, Spiritwalker and Moya highlights for me. Tremendous energy in place.

     

    Astbury on about getting the bus to Milton as his granny used to live there 😆

  5. Made a belter of a stew the other night.

    Couple of Beyond Burgers. Cut into chunks and fried in a bit of stock until they caramelise a bit. Then in the air fryer to firm up.

    Onion gravy with a load of McEwan's Export in it.

    Load of onions, carrots & parsnips. Wee dod of Marmite and some rosemary & thyme

     

    Lobbed it all in the slow cooker for a few hours.

    Tremendous.

    In crieff for 3 nights (big lodges at the hydro, what ho!) And noticed "ellie's cellar" this morning. Might go in for a nose Tommorow or Monday. Doing sober October Just now, but might treat myself for when it's finished.

    Good shop that.

    They've got a handful of branches around Perthshire and Clacks (and Helensburgh).

    Always got a load of Overtone in.

    Managed to get a bottle of Springbank from them a while back too.

  7. Any chilliheads been following the whole Pepper X thing?

     

    Allegedly the new "World's Hottest Pepper".

    The guy won't make any of the actual pods available (feart of folk using the seeds to grown their own is the apparent excuse) but there's a few sauces which contain it. 

     

    YT channel called Chase The Heat where the boy eats pods, sauces and related spicy stuff.

    Got a bottle of some sauce which claims to be 91% Pepper X. Says it's absolutely nowhere near as hot as all the claims say it should be.

    Quite a few folk seem to calling BS on the whole thing.
