Great show! Way too many drams but still I made great progress! Sampled many, many drams.

Anytime David, and you'll have to let forrest know of the drams he missed.

Thanks also for the samples David, and if I knew we would have had that many people, I would have reserved a suite.

It was great to meet some of the folks from the Hamilton Whisky Society, and perhaps I can meet forrest at Hi-Times this weekend.

...and of course, it was good to see Peergynt again, and hang out with Mikeymad. Sorry I missed you Lawrence!

I got to meet David Blackmore from Glenmorangie and a few of the Ardbeg guys! Thanks for the Ardbeg glass!
