A highlight of the mayoral year arrived at Mansion House today, the 695th Lord Mayor’s Whisky (or whiskey to us Irish). With the immense help and support of the magnificent Braeburn Whisky (Scottish) team, we have a very very limited edition for charity fundraising purposes.

And doesn’t it look spectacular:

There’s little reason to explain the puffin passion/predilection/propensity/partiality/proclivity/predisposition/possession further. Well, ‘puffin’ in Latin is ‘fratercula’, ‘little brother’.

Here’s a good look at the labels:

But the name? Of course, it could have been “a whisk(e)y like no other” (stealing Christ’s Hospital‘s moniker, one of my charities where I was once an Almoner), or “a whisk(e)y like no udder”, but that would have been closer to a Bailey’s cream. Possibly my little brother will think it’s named for him. Sláinte!

PS – if you share my whisk(e)y interests, then you might well enjoy a segment from 1:03 to 1:18
