New 'everyday whisky' blog thing

2 7

Hi all, long time no post. But the flame still burns, as it were.

I've been wanting my own place to write about whisky for ages, but never got round to it... until now. To try something different, I thought I'd focus on 'everyday whisky' - or ramblings on how to drink whisky without being too, y'know, posh about it all.

(In unrelated news, I'm totally money- and time-poor, and can't afford to drink the best of the best any more ;)

So I'm blogging over at commoncask.wordpress.com (woo, all of 2 posts so far) and tweeting at @commoncask (twitter.com/commoncask) - it'd be great to join you all there, and definitely welcoming any ideas on what you might like to read about.

Today's post for your reading pleasure is on re-developing a sense of smell. Here y'are: commoncask.wordpress.com/2012/06/…

Lookin' forward to the debates :)

@markjedi1 Thanks - finally got round to posting a new article (on my love of the hip flask), more stuff definitely in the pipeline. Too many blogs to write, too much whisky to drink... ;)

@scribe Lots of new whisky-blogs these days, but from the few I read, yours is special. Hope you keep it up, I liked the nosing-stuff a alot. And I dont have a 'hip' hip flask so far, but I really like the style we know from the movies. I definitely have to get one in the future :)

@Wills Many thanks for the comment, really appreciated. I'm going to try to thread a fine line between serious, helpful and slightly-cheeky, and avoid posting too many tasting notes on the latest-and-greatest. Also planning to post some of my older articles which seem to have dropped off the web recently, and some book reviews, and so on.

I'll let you all decide if the article on behaving in a whisky shop is serious, helpful or fun... ;-)
