📺 The Live Tasting Craic (3 Massive Friday Sessions)
Instead of rushing through every single night, this year we’re doing three live sessions across the first three Fridays of December, all kicking off at 8:00pm GMT.
We’ll be tackling 4 bottles per session, breaking them down together in real-time!
📅 The Live Schedule (Fridays @ 8:00pm GMT):
- Friday #1: Drams 1 to 4
- Friday #2: Drams 5 to 8
- Friday #3: Drams 9 to 12
- 🎁 Boxing Day Special: A dedicated pre-recorded video drop covering our 13th dram wildcard!

🥃 How It Works & What to Expect
During each live stream, I’ll be diving deep into every single dram:
- Tasting Notes: Full nose, palate, and finish breakdown.
- Distillery & Brand Story: Background, heritage, and context.
- Cask Details: Why the wood matters for each specific release.
- Behind the Choice: Why I selected this exact bottle for the calendar.
Choose Your Own Adventure:
- Tune in Live: Jump into the YouTube chat, ask questions, argue over notes, and do it blind before the bottle reveals.
- Watch the Catch-Up: Missed the live? The video stays up so you can drink along at your own leisure whenever suits.
- Drink As You Go: Sip a dram a day, tackle them in pairs, or save them all up — no stress, no pressure, no bother!
