I have just arrived at my office, from where I will be leaving directly for TBH this afternoon (expecting to arrive at TBH about 18:15). I am less organised than usual and do not have
(a) my contributory magnum of Graham 1880 (typing error, the 8 should be a 9)
(b) any sample bottles
I will have a pen. I can print the tasting mats if required - just post here to that effect before 14:00.

Will be interested in how this evening's tasting goes, I look forward to the review and seeing how the variations (if any) compare with last time (I would have liked to have been there, but have a hospital appt early tomorrow morning, so not an option).

Placemats have been printed.
All bottles have been decanted and labeled.

So, available free to readers of this thread who attend tastings are three bottles (well, ⅔-sized bottles) of Sandeman’s Royal Ambrosante Pedro Ximenez Sherry aged 20 years. Jolly good stuff, but unsuited to my medical status.
Any other takers? And should I bring the fraction?A few posts later jdaw1 wrote:Two gone (DJ + GEE). One and a fraction remain. Fraction to be quality-controlled at a tasting.

This BBC article marks me as an oldster. One could, instead, “upgrade your celebration” with some bottles of Graham 1980. Really.
