Wayne's Adventure (In Motion)

So, since I discovered gin about 15 years ago, my favorite gin has been Hendricks. I recently discovered Hendricks was made in Scotland. So a large reason for this tour was a pilgrimage to the Hendricks distillery headquarters. Now in Scotland there are about a million distilleries, large and small. One I went to was…

So, one of the reasons for the Scotch Tour was to get a few things settled. Namely, to pick out “my Scotch distillery”! I have my shoemaker (SAS). My hatmaker ( Master Hatters of Texas). My gin ( Hendricks ), My bed (Tempurpedic ). My pen ( Pilot G-2, 07 tip ) etc. At my…

Being a bit of a “Distiller” myself, was interesting to see how the Big Boys do it. Let’s just say while theirs might be bigger, mines definitely stronger.

As the new King, I am going to be making some much needed changes. So henceforth: Scottish food. I’m convinced that Scottish cuisine is based entirely on a dare. Haggis ? Seriously ? How about a few burger Kings ?! For The King’s sake, fix this ! I can only eat fish and chips so…

By the time they got there, all the good stuff was already taken, so they brought back a large rock and claimed it had magical powers…

If you ever find yourself in remote Tullaroan Ireland on a Saturday night, I highly recommend a complete reevaluation of your entire life….but that being said…. Having, LITERALLY, nothing left to lose you should visit Seanie’s Pub ( which is also the local post office, convenience store, liquor mart, pharmacy and hair care center). If…

So, Hurricane Humberto managed to crawl up the East Coast of America, somehow careen off New York and still manage to run me and most of Ireland down like a duckling under an Aircraft carrier. Ireland set wind and rain records that have stood for hundreds of years and let’s just say my little costal…
