February has been and gone, and so has the second meeting of the inaugural Manchester Whisky Club. You did read that right by the way. It comes as rather a surprise to find out that Manchester is lacking a whisky club.

Knowing fellow gin lovers always has its advantage. The Christmas holidays not only brought me the usual cheer and joy, but also the knowledge of my friend Gin Squirrel being given a rather large litre bottle of Bombay Sapphire East.
