WOTY? There's no backing out now.
It's the last vPub of the year and that means I'm just as het as anyone else. I'd love to lazily throw it all up in the air with a shout of "It's all good" but you wouldn't stand for that and, if I was out there with you - looking in, neither would I. I need to commit. Because forcing thought and processing the many events and whiskies of 2022 brings reasoning, and reasoning brings perspective and - hopefully - conclusions. Therein lies the interest.
So, in a calm and back-to-serious(-ish) solo session, I'll share my 2022 thoughts with you all; my favourite moments, my favourite producers and my favourite whiskies. Yet, for all of those I'll pick one and commit to it.
Menno will see us out with a typically appropriate QatE.
It's be a privilege to hang out with you there.
