So Jeremy Rockliff given the dreadful occupancy rates over winter in Tasmanian hotels will you and the Tourism Minister apologise for the waste of taxpayer money on the ineffectual (awful) “off season” campaign? #taspol

Huge kudos to doctors, nurses & staff at Hobart’s Icon Cancer Centre yesterday who calmly & efficiently moved patients undergoing chemo, CT scans or radiation out of the building when fire alarms sounded & did their best to keep them comfortable outside on a cold afternoon.

Airlines cop lots of criticism so I’m happy to give kudos to Virgin Australia crew who looked after Annette whose cancer makes walking any distance very problematic. They made flying easy for her every step of the way. #travel #airlines

Do yourself a big favour and have a look at The Assembly on abctv. iview.abc.net.au/show/assembly

Your guide to political doublespeak in #Tasmania. No.2 in a series. “An independent inquiry”. Definition: a desperate need to delay any action until public anger dies down. #politas Tasmanian Liberals

What? Surely not! Jeremy Rockliff remember this in The Mercury in Feb this year: Premier Jeremy Rockliff has pledged to prevent the closure of the iconic King Island Dairy. “That won’t happen. Not on my watch,” themercury.com.au/news/tasmania/… #politas

Unbelievable! Job insecurity will see the loss of the magnificent staff and hence the demise of this critical service. #taspol

What an amazing release to finish the year. A wonderful example of the art of small cask maturation. This whisky is a celebration of Tasmanian distilling, and a must-have for the connoisseur #whisky #Tasmanian

The beloved was making a batch of Rum Balls. I suggested a whisky flavoured batch would be great. In hindsight checking ABV would have been an idea but the 50.5% Single Malt from Nonesuch Distillery sure added some kick! Great flavour though. #whisky

Better half to me “I wish I could find out who plays that doof-doof music at the same time every afternoon.” Sighing, I picked up the remote & muted the TV to silence the drum beat in the background of The Chase which she watches same time every arvo. 🙄

Weather has turned damned cold and forecast temperature for Thursday is -2 to 9. Days like these are when I am glad the next generation is running the distillery and I am at home.

Today’s forecast temp “feels like” -2 to 9 degrees ( “no thanks”). So I’ve swapped the distillery for the home office and put the kettle on (or maybe something stronger). Working on next Nonesuch Distillery newsletter—full of warming specials and big news about our latest release.

A Tasmanian small batch single malt with a 5 year age statement…rare indeed. Experience it. #whisky #singlemalt #Tasmanian

If the USA put their foot on our throat to make us increase our defence spending (where is the money coming from?) I reckon we should only buy equipment from Europe and not support the US military industrial complex and their bought and paid for politicians. #auspol

“When I started Nonesuch, it was all about gin. But I always wondered… what if we gave it a bit of time in a whisky barrel? So I did. Now there’s this: juniper, citrus, oak, a kiss of whisky notes. Only 123 bottles. I kept a few. The rest? They’re yours if you’re quick.”
