January reading – something new

11 January 2022 By Bel

As fully predicted, I’ve veered away from my reading list for the month. I’m now reading Bob Iger’s The Ride of a Lifetime. It’s a great book – interspersing his life story with lessons in business and management. I’m only around a tenth of the way in, and it’s eminently readable. Looking forward to the rest of it.

Tucked away in a little side street in Amsterdam.

Beauty in unlikely places. Key thing is to look for it.

Whisky shopping

7 October 2021 By Bel Leave a Comment

Headed out for a walk, and returned with an armful of whisky. Scotch of course, but also bottlings from the US, Japan, and India (yes, India). I’ll do some reviews over at my other place.

Today’s whisky – Smokehead

23 June 2021 By Bel Leave a Comment

The Smokehead 43% is a lovely peated single malt whisky from this impressive distillery. Puts me in mind of the Lagavulin – no surprises there, given its home in the Kidalton distilleries. Powerful taste, strong woodsmoke, and something a bit gentle as well.

Had this one for the first time yesterday. Looking forward to the next time.
