Ten years from now you’ll put on a jacket and find a mask in the pocket. “Oh man, what a weird year that was,” you’ll chuckle to yourself. Then you’ll pick up your machete and continue across the wasteland, keeping to the shadows to avoid the roving gangs of cannibal raiders.

Happy new years everyone

SPECIAL OFFER
£69 OFF! (Was £299) + FREE UK MAINLAND STANDARD DELIVERY

A 25 year old from Speyside's Benriach, made using their peated spirit and sat at the top end of the age range for their peated whisky. This is the follow-up to the much-vaunted Authenticus 21yo and is claimed by the producers to show herb, honey and tropical fruit flavours alongside the smoke.

 

Producer's Notes
APPEARANCE
Bright, warm amber gold.
NOSE
Elegant aromas of ripe pineapple, fresh mountain herbs and a profusion of sweet peat. A huge pungent blast of peat smoke emerges, partnering the peated element perfectly. Full bodied and audacious.
PALATE
A fantastic fusion of rich peat and smouldering embers bound together by fresh herbs - oregano, aniseed and chicory in particular. A rush of sweet, wild honey provides a lovely contrast to this lively, intense expression.
CONCLUSIONS
Terrific weight and development which leaves a powerful long lasting impression on the palate.

Pity the nation whose people are sheep,
and whose shepherds mislead them.
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, whose sages are silenced,
and whose bigots haunt the airwaves.
Pity the nation that raises not its voice,
except to praise conquerors and acclaim the bully as hero
and aims to rule the world with force and by torture.
Pity the nation that knows no other language but its own
and no other culture but its own.
Pity the nation whose breath is money
and sleeps the sleep of the too well fed.
Pity the nation — oh, pity the people who allow their rights to erode
and their freedoms to be washed away.
My country, tears of thee, sweet land of liberty.”

An investigation into the death of Elijah McClain is bringing new evidence to light. 

 

THE BACKGROUND.

In August of 2019, a 911 caller in Colorado reported a “suspicious person” in a ski mask apparently waving his arms. That person turned out to be Elijah McClain, a 23 year old Black man walking home from a convenience store and listening to music. It would later come out that he was wearing a ski mask due to his anemia, which made him cold. Three police officers confronted McClain, who “resisted contact.” A struggle followed, which led to an officer putting him into a carotid hold. In response, McClain said “I can’t breathe.” Not long after, paramedics arrived and injected McClain with ketamine, a powerful sedative. He went into cardiac arrest and died three days later. 

 

THE HAPPENINGS. 

No charges were brought against any of the police officers involved in McClain’s death, reportedly because prosecutors couldn’t prove they caused the death or used unjustified force. Enter: this independent investigation, which begs to differ. 

 

THE DEETS. 

The investigation says the police had absolutely no legal basis to stop or detain McClain, especially since he wasn’t doing anything wrong in the first place. It also puts blame on responding paramedics, who sedated McClain without conducting “anything more than a brief visual observation” and ended up giving McClain - who weighed 140 pounds - a dosage fit for a man weighing 190 pounds. 

 

THE TAKE. 

The findings are an important step in bringing justice for McClain. TBD.
