It’s been a while since we’ve had Roddy attending the vPub. It’s also been a while since we’ve done a little hubris-shredding blind tasting - live. This week we’ll combine both.
The Thompson Brothers have now released Series 6 of their fascinating Mystery Malt Series. They promise a wonderfully crafted ‘shuffle system’ to ensure a fair mix of bottles in each case without duplicates - and are selling them as such. A game in a box, if you like. I couldn’t resist - and neither could Roddy.
Join us as wee uncork a full sealed case and attempt to match (or surpass!) The Brothers themselves when they attempted the same.
Catch their attempt here: youtu.be/ZuigAEIiu78?si=11OC67Z7hNiwiLKO
Usual Roddy banter and side chats likely. I’ll hope you’ll join us for some red faces and fun on Thursday!
