		<title>Whisky Paradiso (not that one)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cinema Paradiso is one of those films that everyone remembers. Its the sort of epic, passion infused, sumptuous narrative that reeks of masterpiece. Its a kind of cinema that I think really doesn&#8217;t exist outside Europe, sure there are many life affirming films from many parts of the world, its just something about the sheer [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Drown in a cold vat of whisky? Death where is thy sting?&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is something about a good quotation. Apart from the immediate &#8216;Why didn&#8217;t I think of that?&#8217; reaction, there is something wonderful about a quick flutter of words that so neatly and perfectly sums up something that others might take pages to express. Like all good art it is often a case of less is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Joni And Bowmore: Two perfect things to shut up about.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been busy these last few days so imagine my surprise when I emerge from my cocoon of bluster to find everyone sniggering about some newfangled urine based whisky, or &#8216;Pissky&#8217; as it has been affectionately dubbed. Indeed it has even prompted some deeper philosophical musings of the relationship between whisky and art and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Queen Of The Moorlands: An Olfactory Investigation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I first met David Wood on a rather brisk night on Islay back in summer 2005. We both happened to be staying for the night at the Bruichladdich accommodation and one of the first utterances he sent my way, laden with the dead weight of a solid northern English accent, was: &#8220;Alright Angus, d&#8217;you wanna [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Taste of Lost Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have already written about my love for both St Magdalene and Lochside so they need little reintroduction from me here. These are another couple of samples I liberated from whisky fringe (courtesy of  the very generous folks at Douglas Laing). Suffice to say that I thought it might be interesting to do a little [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Peaty Toddler</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I first visited Kilchoman when it was just a fledgling distillery trying to stay afloat, keeping its head bobbing above an angry sea of production problems and spontaneously combusting pagoda roofs. I remember being very impressed with the quality of the spirit they produced there, as was everyone else I spoke to who tried it. [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Trilogy of Glenfarclas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Glenfarclas is one of a handful of spirits that can age with a wealth of grace and dignity unlike many others. It is also a distillery from which there are, fortunately for us all, many aged examples available at accessible prices, just look at this for example. However I always found it a little more [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Epic Week That Was!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok so I haven&#8217;t updated in nearly a week and there is a good reason for this, I have been busy with quite some extensive &#8216;research&#8217;. Anyway now that I have recovered from said &#8216;research&#8217; there will be lots to write about. I just spent a heady and joyful weekend at Whisky Fringe in Edinburgh, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Miltondull</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Miltonduff. Its not a word that sets my mind alight with images of heady drams or sacred essences. liquids brimming with complexity and depth. Nor does it fill me with dread, no fear of being led down dark organoleptic alleyways lined with the lurking specters of rubber, sulphur, butyric, cardboard and drains. In fact the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Old Bottles and Soulful Songs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If I&#8217;m honest I find John Martyn quite hard work sometimes. I know this is not a popular viewpoint, his music has spun a captivating web round the ears and hearts of many people over the years. My problem was that I never really came to terms with all his output, while I find several [...]]]></description>
