The Stagg has already been raised to your good health, and an Old Potrero 18th Century Rye will be enjoyed later this weekend. Happy birthday to a 'gentleman and a scholar' (a favourite phrase, and high compliment, of my late grandfather)! All the best!

I happily owe the existence of at least half of my whisky cabinet, in one way or another, to you.

@thecyclingyogi

can't imagine what this site would be like without contributors like @victor. anyone who spends any time on connosr can instantly recognize his love of whisky/whiskey. those of us who have looked to him for advice/information/history have no doubt been impressed with his wealth knowledge, as well as his obvious pleasure in sharing. and if you're ever lucky enough to meet the man (and i do consider myself lucky), you'll be relieved to know that he is human. just a straight-up, genuine dude. happy birthday, my friend. all the best to you and yours....

@thecyclingyogi +100 to your comments...A very true set of statements made by someone else who I have been fortunate enough to meet as a result of knowing 'Victor' and his wife 'Dramlette'. Both truly wonderful people.

A big thank you to all of my Connosr friends for the lovely warm birthday greetings. Special thanks to Pudge72 for spilling the beans on the date, Wodha for posting the discussion, thecyclingyogi for the kind testimonial, and the brothers Thiebault for keeping the connosr boat afloat. Those of you I haven't yet met in the flesh I look forward one day to sipping whisky with. Slainte! Prost! Cheers! Tupshida! Sante! Saude!

I expect to return all of the toasts in kind, though it may require more than one day to do so.

Happy Birthday Victor! You are very much one of the central figures of Connosr, and I can say your reviews have been very influential in my influential early stage of whisky appreciation. I'll raise a glass Wiser's 18 which I got with your assistance. Slainte.

Big thanks to the next group to greet me on my birthday. Big smiles here. I am deeply touched. Connosr is a great club and whisky is a hands-on sport, so while it is nice for us to share information, it is nicer still for us to share drams! I offer a toast to each of you.

All things considered, I am mostly of the school of AboutChoice: give me a taste of each and every one of the 8,000 whiskies!
