The Mrs has a significant b'day today that I cannot mention and since I really can't go shopping for an appropriate present, and since we had to cancel the trip back to MBJ that was scheduled for this week, I bought her a bottle of JW Blue. I like Blue, but do not generally feel I get value for the money. It is, in fact, the first time I have ever purchased a bottle. I'll provide a review if she let's me have a taste!

We do plan of touring some distilleries in Scotland and Ireland, but likely not until 2021 or 2022.

JW Blue is very good but so is Platinum.
I have been contemplating a tour of Scotland distilleries too but unfortunately my better half is not a big fan. If you do chalk out a itin, please share, might save me some research. I'd preferably want to add a tip to London to visit family and my soccer team to catch a game from when I lived there.
