Let’s raise a glass to The Gunmakers

Saturday September 6th 2014 was an important day.  I was away at Maltstock in The Netherlands (one of the best whisky festivals on the planet), but my mind was frequently on a little back-street pub in Clerkenwell – The Gunmakers.

A weekend of whisky in Scotland? What could be better than that?!

I had a lot of fun in 2013.  Amid some career uncertainty and a few testing times, life flung at me the assortment of utter excellence and fun which I’ve come to really like about it.  I know in days
