  2. Maximus Ren Laidlaw born Tuesday 30th in Japan. Extremely proud of my wife @rachel_laidlaw85 for going through it all on her own ( due to ongoing covid restrictions here in Japan I wasn’t able to attend 🤦🏼‍♂️) . We love you very much 💙

  3. Playing rugby in Japan has been the most incredible experience. Japanese culture is amazing and to be able to see my children growing up here, watching them learn a new language and adapt to a different way of life is a privilege I will never take for granted. We intend as a family to stay in Japan a while longer but it is here I will finally hang up my playing boots. It is time to take everything I have learnt, from a playing career I could only have dreamt of, and move on into coaching. Throughout my playing career I have pushed myself, I have taken on new experiences, continuously learnt and immersed myself in different cultures. I have always enjoyed figuring out how to work as a team and how to get the best out of my teammates, things I will take with me and continue to develop. I believe I have developed a really strong skillset in performing under pressure and leadership, the two areas that I have learnt most about and that have always fascinated me. As a player I would like to thank so many different people not least Rachel and the boys for supporting my dreams and allowing me to live them. To everyone who has supported my playing journey, a huge thank you and I hope you will be part of my next chapter also.

  1. How to store over 100 open bottles of whisky, wine and spirits? I started my living room redecoration project in March, if you can believe it. I’ve always dreamed of having a gorgeous dining space where I can host friends for a few glasses of something delicious. But when you’re a drinks writer who receives several exciting new samples to try every week, the bottle storage solution has evaded me. I know it’s an issue that affects so many of my followers too. So tell me – what’s been your solution to storing your whisky and drinks collections? And have you ever had to deal with a crumbling wall (or harassment from a tradey) like this? 😬🫠 *PS I do realise having too much whisky is a real Champagne problem. The hope is to share as much of it as I can 🫶🏼🥃 #redecorate #hosting #diningroom #livingroom #whisky
    40 502
  2. There’s nothing like accomplishing something difficult after watching a few TikTok videos! 😂 It was satisfyingly hard work to bring this wall back to life ON MY OWN after I was quoted £4,000 to completely replaster it. I even rewired the plug socket and laid new flooring after being told I couldn’t do it on my own!! Never, ever let anyone tell you what you can or can’t do 💪🏼🛠️ The plan now is to place some sort of beautiful dark wood sideboard in the alcove, fill it with bottles and create a cocktail corner. But the reality is that I still need to shift a lot of these bottles. The most satisfying way to enjoy whisky is with friends, so – if you’ll have me – I’d love to take you through a few of my most memorable bottles - whisky and beyond. Have you spotted anything in this video you’d like me to taste/talk about? #whisky #redecorate #livingroom #diningroom #diy

  3. If you’re new here, welcome! I’m honestly blown away by the interest in my living room glow up. I can only assume it’s because you’re also a whisky lover looking for ways to manage your ever-growing collection (or you’re here for some DIY inspo!) In either case, you’ve come to the right place. 🥃🛠️ For context, I’m a whisky journalist, I’ve been writing and presenting on all things whisky and spirits for 20 years. That means I’ve amassed quite a stash of bottles, many of which are open as I’ve had to sample them to write tasting notes. Although I’ve given a lot away over the years, the pile never seems to shrink… and now I’ve started venturing into wine, well… it’s not helping! 🤣 If you’ve any questions about whisky, what I do for work, or even redecorating, please drop them below. And if you’ve any suggestions for decent cabinets or bottle storage solutions, I’m all ears! I’ll need all the help I can get 💪🏼🛠️ (Lovely messages about my darling girl, Islay, are also welcome 🥰)😽 #whisky #redecorating #diy #livingroom #diningroom

  2. Well Dr John, I don’t think I’ve laughed and cried so much in these past few weeks. What an absolute gem of a guy and friend to so many. You were definitely one of kind and lit up every room you entered. You have left us far too soon but I am thankful of your amazing friendship, memories and wind ups which you were the master of! You will be missed greatly but never forgotten. 💔

  1. Gifted || @glengoyne Times like this deserves to be taken offline! Enjoy the moment, savour the taste, and remove all distractions, so you can focus on the people around you. @glengoyne has created “The Offline Edition” - a limited-edition whisky release designed for switching off and enjoying uninterrupted moments with others. Collaborating with the co-founders of BLOCK ‘The Offline Edition’ is a modernised design on the faraday cage design, using an aluminium inner cylinder to turn this world’s first whisky box into a digital black spot - blocking out electromagnetic signals for up to four smartphones place inside - allowing consumers to develop healthier relationships with their smartphone. The aluminium whisky box can be used time and again with other bottles of Glengoyne whisky - keeping your tech out of sight and out of signal while you enjoy a dram with others. What do you think of this? Note: While staying @macdonaldlindenhall there was a wedding on and spotted these groomsmen sat together having a drink, so thought I’d asked if they fancied taking part in giving this offline box and dram a try to celebrate their day. Whisky is always best shared! 😊🥃 . . . #glengoyne #offlineedition #whiskymoments #turnofftunein #whiskytravel #whiskylover #scotch #makingmemories #singlemalt #whiskytime #sharing #lindenhall

  1. New #whisky from @dornochdistillery #thompsonBros The marketing of this bottle is superb. At £33 ish it’s epic value, so why not use a design we are all too familiar with. Such a smart play in so many ways. Striking design, appealing to the economic climate. So I had to get it. I have seen so many of my friends purchase and rave about how good this was, so it was over to me. Great service from @royalmilewhiskies getting the bottle here in double time. Packaged so well it would have been some achievement to break in transit. Safely in my hands! So what do we have… Well for £33 you get a 8, yes a 8 year old blended #Scottish #whisky. Mad age for the price. To be precise it’s a North Highland Blended Whisky. I was excited when I found out that it was in fact a blend of @clynelish.distillery and #GlenOrd Rested in a refill sherry butt and bottled at 44.5% Nose - orchard fruit, actually orchard fruit while being in an orchard. Custard creams Palate - ice cream float - pineapple soda with vanilla ice cream Finish - goes on forever, fresh peach gives way to viscous syrups and toasted oats.

  2. Yeeeooooo Finally been able to complete (so far) the collection!!! Todays arrival of @dickmackspub 1808 Casked in Bond gets me number 1 in the series. I have been trying to get 2 of each so I can enjoy one now and keep one for later. Unfortunately for now I only managed one bottle of this one. How class is the collection though!

  1. NEW RELEASE ALERT‼️ Ardbeg 10 Year Old Cask Strength - Committee Release Whisky 🥃 𝙰𝚋𝚘𝚞𝚝 📝 : Created in response to years of requests from Ardbeg’s loyal Committee, this special edition takes the distillery’s classic Ten and presents it in its most natural, undiluted form. Matured for 10 years in hand-selected American oak ex-bourbon casks, including barrels filled at an unusually high spirit strength, the whisky is drawn straight from the cask without reduction, allowing the full weight of oak and peat to speak for itself. By bottling the spirit at cask strength, Ardbeg showcases the raw intensity of its Islay character and the deeper wood interaction that comes from higher-strength maturation. It’s a purer snapshot of the distillery’s smoky house style, shaped only by time, oak and the island’s coastal warehouses. Released exclusively for Committee members, this edition honours both Ardbeg’s 200-year heritage and the devoted community that helped bring it to life. ❄️ Non Chill Filtered 🖍 Natural Colour 𝚂𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚐𝚝𝚑 💪 : 61.7% 𝙲𝚘𝚕𝚘𝚞𝚛 🌈 : Light Gold 𝙽𝚘𝚜𝚎👃🏼 : Fruity and coastal, light lemongrass, green apples, salty sea breeze, red fruits, vanilla pod and charred oak 𝚃𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚎 👅 : Strong sweet vanilla flavours accompanied by huge lashings of burnt ashy oak unveiling pineapple chunks, bitter dark chocolate, orange peel and black pepper 𝙵𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚑 🏁 : Oak ashes, dry fruit peels, saline and vanilla 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜 💭 : Ardbeg 10 but on volume 11, this cask strength version really packs a punch in both power and flavour. It is hard hitting but it really delivers some great flavours and complexity with it. It’s something that fans have been asking for, for a while, it’s just a shame it’s taken so long for it to arrive. If you’re interested in it you’ll only have a little longer to wait as this committee release is available from the 24th February 2026 and will retail at around £75 𝚂𝚕à𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚎! @ardbeg @ardbeg_usa // Gifted

  2. Can you spot the mistake ⁉️ Watch till the end to see and let me know. Barrel Tea is wood chips taken from used spirits casks, picking up subtle warmth and natural sweetness from the wood giving you those familiar whisky adjacent notes without the alcohol. It’s rich, comforting and perfect for slow, grey mornings like this. Same ritual. Different pour. Would you swap your early dram for this on a rainy day? 🌧️☕ #BarrelTea #TeaLovers #MorningRitual #RainyDayVibes #CosyMorning

  3. Glengoyne 16 Year Old Mizunara Oak Whisky 🥃 So I recently was unable to attend the Glengoyne event where they showcased this release largely due to not being invited 👀 Fortunately though somebody left a dram in a glass so I was lucky enough to be sent that and a photo of the bottle… all jokes aside, here’s the review. 𝙰𝚋𝚘𝚞𝚝 📝 : Part of Glengoyne’s Oak Masters’ Series, this release was aged for 16 years with a two stage wood journey: for the first ten years the spirit matured in classic first fill sherry and refill bourbon casks, laying the firm foundation, then spent a six year finish in rare Mizunara oak casks from Hokkaidō. (Mizunara is prized Japanese oak that’s notoriously difficult to work with due to its grain, moisture and cost.) This careful maturation shows how the mellow fruit led character of Glengoyne can be elevated by the fragrant woods, sandalwood, soft vanilla and blossom that Mizunara brings to the mix. ❄️ Non Chill Filtered 🖍 Natural Colour 𝚂𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚐𝚝𝚑 💪 : 53.4% 𝙲𝚘𝚕𝚘𝚞𝚛 🌈 : Burnt Copper 𝙽𝚘𝚜𝚎👃🏼 : Great nose, all those typical Glengoyne notes are floating around, caramel chocolates, cinnamon, fruit cake and then you’re hit with with a wave of oak spices, pineapple chunks, watermelon and strawberry laces. There’s an undertone of liquorice too. It’s a complex nose! 𝚃𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚎 👅 : Delightful, the flavours transform in your mouth from vibrant oak spice, sharp pineapple, sweet chocolate truffles, vanilla pod, black treacle, coffee grinds and cinnamon 𝙵𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚑 🏁 : More treacle with that liquorice we had in the nose, dry fruits and leftover Christmas cake with custard 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜 💭 : I’m not going to lie, I expected this to be gimmicky and disappointing but it is honestly a fantastic whisky. I was pretty impressed with the complexity in this one and it feels like it changes with each sip. It’s such a shame on the price point though, £300 rrp, ouch, did Mizunara oak really cost that much to import in 2019 or whenever it was!? It’s nice but not £300 nice. 𝚂𝚕à𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚎! @glengoyne // Gifted

  1. At 55 years old, Bowmore STAC is the oldest whisky ever released by the renowned Scottish distillery. Distilled in 1962 and filled into a refill American oak hogshead, the rare single malt is housed in a one-of-a-kind handblown glass vessel. The bottle’s design was inspired by sea stacks (steep, vertical rock formations) off the coast of Bowmore’s home on the Isle of Islay, and Sotheby’s specialist @wanderingwhisky joins us from #SothebysLondon to explain more. Offered in the @distillers1of1 auction on 5 October, which brings together a collection of one-off, never-to-be-repeated Scotch whiskies created and donated from distilleries across Scotland. The proceeds will be donated to charity, principally to the Youth Action Fund, which aims to transform the life chances of young people in Scotland. Discover more at the link in bio. #SothebysSpirits #Bowmore #Distillers1of1

  3. The Macallan 1926 is the world’s most valuable whisky, having set the auction record at Sotheby’s in 2019 when it sold for £1.5m. After being aged in sherry casks for six decades, just 40 bottles of The Macallan 1926 were bottled in 1986, representing the oldest @the_macallan vintage ever produced. The offering of The Macallan 1926 featuring the Valerio Adami label marks the first time one of the 40 has come to auction at Sotheby’s since the current record was set. Sotheby’s specialist @wanderingwhisky explains more. It will be offered during #SothebysLondon Weekend of Whisky on 17-18 November, which will also feature the KODAWARI collection and select bottles from the legendary collection of visionary epicurean and aesthete, Pierre Chen. Discover more at the link in bio. #SothebysSpirits #Macallan

  1. It is rare to have a photo of the three of us together. In fact the last time was probably when my kids were little (swipe right). Any attempts in between have had to be scrapped as we looked like we were stray members of the Addams family! But for a recent press shoot, Chris Watt @chriswattphotography - one of Britain’s leading photographers with a striking portfolio of celebrities and international events in far flung parts of the world - managed to get us looking fairly relaxed and all facing the camera at the same time. Not an easy feat! So here are my #valentines - every day of the year!! If my big, cuddly, 4 legged boy was still with us, he would be in there too. I’m a very lucky mum! #valentines #valentinespecial #everyday #familyphoto #familyphotoshoot #pressphoto #pressphotographer #luckymum #singlemum #familylife #justthethreeofus

  2. I’m here with my children aged 40 and now (swipe right) with them aged 63 - and a lot of good, bad and ugly has happened in between! A lot of FOOD WHISKY LIFE! This is my last food book so I have opened the door to our home and shared lots of stories and recipes from our lives. In a world where people can claim to be things they are not; where people can live a lie on a public platform, where integrity, common sense, resilience and empathy are often lost; we are REAL. We live every moment we share. Life hasn’t been easy but we live with peace in our souls. We open our doors and invite you in. And we hope that if you read FOOD WHISKY LIFE you will feel inspired and invigorated with a sense of what is possible and a grasp of Scotland’s wild heart in yours! ♥️ First photo is by @johnpaulfoto, second photo is by @chriswattphotography, third photo is the cover of the book published by @tinshackpress on 1st August. #lifestory #againstallodds #resilience #hospitality #opendoors #welcoming #relaxing #reallife #unique #uniqueexperiences #familylife #wildlife #nature #keepingitreal #whatispossible #allispossible #storytelling #livinginthemoment #thegoodbadandugly #peaceinmysoul

  3. It was a glorious afternoon … The advantage of working from home, or working remote as many people do nowadays, is that sometimes we can take a few hours to enjoy the snow and fresh air and then work until midnight. Yazzie @wildernessfit_retreats went backcountry skiing in the hills and I went for a less vigorous cross country ski across the moor and returned as the sun was setting. In winter the empty hills and moorland feel like our backyard - a great place to clear the mind and put life into perspective. #crosscountry #crosscountryskiing #backcountry #backcountryskiing #skiing #snow #gloriousday #beautifulday #ourbackyard #winter #winterwonderland #clearingthemind #putlifeintoperspective

  2. From @the.whisky.baron - a 33yo #tormore matured fully in a sherry butt 😍 Tormore is a distillery that is quietly making waves - after Sukhinder, formerly boss of The Whisky Exhange, took over the running as part of the deal to exit the shop business. Whilst things have mostly been quiet, I expect it won’t be long before we see a new core range released, and obviously more to come as time goes by ☺️ In the meantime- it’s still Indie Bottlers who are showcasing the spirit, and this is one of the oldest and most interesting I’ve tried 🙃 - yes, I’m the BA, but I try not to be biased! I get really interesting notes of garam masala and other exotic spices, something which is pretty unique to this whisky, having tried a few other sherried Tormore before. 😳 What do you think? Is that a note that intrigues you or turns you off? Would you pair it with Indian or spicy food, or try and find something to contrast with? 😋 Let me know! #thewhiskybaron #tormore #indiebottler #whiskybaron #sherrybomb

  3. We are delighted to have started 2023 off with the best review on the @Forbes whisky roundup. Our Ben Nevis scored 9.5/10 and was described as ‘a world-class whisky’ - we couldn’t agree more! Whilst single bottles of our Ben Nevis sold out within a matter of hours, you can still get your hands on a complete set of our Export Label bottles via our website. #Thewhiskybaron #whisky #whiskey #scotch #singlemalt #singlecask #cask #barrel #liquidgold #spirit #scotchwhisky #instadram #scotchgram #whiskylife #whiskylover #ilovescotch #gentleman #singlemaltwhisky #scotchdrinker #dram #whiskyporn #independentbottler #whiskygram #whiskynation #whiskycollector #englishwhisky #bennevis

  2. THAT'S. A. WRAP. Well folks it's been a most beautiful ride and I can't believe that time has flown and I'm already saying my (temporary) farewells to my incredible team @thebalvenie but there you go... And what better time to do it than on #burnsnight which also happens to be my 7 year anniversary with @williamgrantuk. But as much as I love #whisky it's time to step back and start focusing on the new things to come, and perhaps put my feet up for a wee while before all of that takes place! I'll be passing my whisky baby onto a most fabulous replacement (to be announced soon) while I look towards taking care of the new bairn on the way. In the interim I leave you all with loads of whisky love and toasts on this chilly eve hoping you're keeping warm with perhaps some haggis and a wee nip or two of @thebalvenie. Thank you to all of you for the incredible support and enthusiasm and joy you've shared with me over the years. I will miss sharing whisky with so many of you but am so thankful for all of the expericnes I've been lucky enough to have over the last 7 years. Much love to you all 🥃🥰💞 *Thanks to @fabsinthe for the farewell pics 😊 which slightly soften the gigantic baby bump 😂

  3. ~ SURPRISE ~ Looking back it feels like a dream. After all, how often does a South African, a Canadian, an Englishman, and a sheep farmer walk into a humanist wedding in the Icelandic countryside? A magical landscape, a true adventure, a secret for us, a surprise for you There really are no words to express our joy but with photos like these by @nickcarophotography we can let them do the talking. After all, he really did this romantic runaway plan justice, don't you think? 😉 *Happily Ever After Party to follow in 2023* #elopement #icelandelopement #surprise #ourlittlesecret #happiness #whisky #unforgettable #adventure #yesthisreallydidhappen #thankful #love #wedidit #handfasting #iceland
