The Eagle has landed. At hotel (Radison) round corner from bung hole. Heading out for a walk to stretch the legs and shake off jet lag. If anyone is going to be early let me know.

I could be early Andy - I'm pretty much up to speed on what I need to get done today.

Taylor 1970 decanted 12:30, and seemed good.
Graham 1970 decanted 12:45, and seemed good.
Rob said he’d print Rob please confirm done. I can print as late as 17:45.
I’ll get there close to 7pm.

This is the third consecutive tasting with a Graham 70 in attendance.
Q.: what is the current attendance record for consecutive tastings? (S82 at Crusting Pipe? DRT's run of Mz85s?)

Presumably you are thinking that this will become excessive at, say, five thousand? Or would two thousand be enough?
But three is officially not a problem.

I disagree. What happened 4 tastings ago that there was no G70 available?

I think you and I are almost the only regular contributors to this forum not currently drinking G70 in central London.... That, to me, is a problem...

Agreed. I believe I will go home and drink an '07 Taylor LBV instead. How... pathetic.

For me, a long work day was followed by.. no port at all. A single glass of single malt, single cask whisky as I started to unwind (and fall asleep) was about it.. Yes, pathetic.
