Ralfy Tasting 2018

It was a weekend in the middle of November, nothing special you might say and nothing to get excited about. However this wasn’t any old weekend, it was a weekend where myself and Jez would get to meet a whole host of really wonderful people from in and around the whisky fabric.

World whiskies

Things are looking up for the London Whisky Club. Jason did an absolutely sterling effort in finding us a new venue. The Bottlescrue in St Paul’s. A terrific venue which has a room that is perfect for our needs. Our attendance was nearly the same as the previous week with Jez, Jason, Michael, Conor, Shiv, Frankie and Jason. James sadly couldn’t make it but we…
