  1. Gli investigatori francesi hanno effettuato perquisizioni negli uffici della banca #Edmond de #RothschildGroup nell’ambito di un’indagine per corruzione che coinvolge il #diplomatico #FabriceAidan.

    Il suo nome compare in oltre 200 documenti legati a #JeffreyEpstein. Secondo le accuse, tra il 2010 e il 2016 avrebbe inviato email contenenti informazioni riservate, anche utilizzando account delle NazioniUnite. Aidan ha respinto ogni addebito.

  2. CW: evaluation of rums, mention of covid-lockdowns

    So, conclusion of the evening:

    Havana 15
    is better than Havana 7, but Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva is better still and costs a fraction, making Havana 15 really not worth it.

    I also have tried Havana Seleccion de Maestros (I’m told that I pronounce it with the most stereotypical German accent possible, but not strictly speaking incorrect) in the past (during the early days of covid when drinking was remote-only) and came away with the conclusion that I liked Havana 7 more.

    Combined this means that with regards to brown rums, there is little reason to get a Havana Club >7, because at that price-point you might as well go for the Diplomatico.

    Also: I can recommend the High Priestess from Bobby’s if you substitute the Proseco with Roku gin; Substituting the Eristroc Vodka with Havana 3 in the Mango Nr.5 (something I requested last time) even goes a step further and apparently left some impression with some bar-tenders.

  3. Shipping from auction houses in the UK or Europe can be crazy expensive for just one or two bottles, so I tend to leave things in storage until I have enough bottles that the per-bottle shipping cost is reasonable. For whatever reason, this time it took many months at several auction houses until it was worth shipping, so I have an end-of-year bounty. And there is still one more I haven't shipped from.

    Compass Box Whisky Whisky De Table 1-3, Optimism, Morpheus, the La Maison du Whisky release of Hedonism Maximus, a signed early release Hedonism, a *first release* Hedonism (I am excited), and Canto Cask 10, 35, & 36. That brings me to six of the 16 Canto Casks.

    Ardbeg Smoketrails Côte Rôtie Edition (the second release) and Renaissance (the last missing piece in the Very Young, Still Young, Almost There, Renaissance sequence).

    Glenmorangie 30 year Oloroso Cask Finish, The Taghta (a replacement bottle as I volunteered mine for a tasting which almost killed it), SMWS 125.50, and Westport 2006 (Glenmorangie in a clever disguise) from Coastalboy. But the best get was the Cask Masters sample set with fairly full samples of A, B, and C. C is what later became The Taghta. I haven't had A or B since the Cask Masters tastings way back in 2013. I also picked up a few editions of The Glen of Tranquillity.

    Lastly some oddball stuff. A North British 40 year old Cask Strength Single Grain. Diplomatico Distillery Collection No 1 Batch Kettle Rum. And Jack Daniel's Winter Jack Tennessee Apple Whiskey Punch, for a special tasting we have coming up. 😉

  4. Un surreale spot ridefinisce le relazioni tra #Cina e #Russia in un modo poco #diplomatico ma molto matrimoniale, promettendo "una vita migliore" (e qualche inguardabile cappellino paninaro) alle donne russe che si coniugheranno con virgulti cinesi
