Today, this little blog turns one year old. Its officially a toddler now.
To celebrate, I’m having a few friends over on Friday to drink a few BrewDogs and some more whiskies. A little blind tasting in which everybody brings a wrapped bottle. After that I might do a little ‘bottoms up’ tasting of some bottles that should be emptied.
The jury is still out on organizing a Twitter tasting (I still refuse to call it a Twasting), but if that’s going to happen, its going to be in October, at the earliest. Also, if all goes as planned, invitations will go out to the most active collaborators of the blog. With that I mean it will be a thank you to the most active commentors, Facebook likers, replyers and retweeters. In short, people who’ve helped this blog along.
Now, the results of one years blogging:
- 21.910 hits on the site
- 501 followers on Twitter
- about 200 new Facebook friends
- 5 Bottle-Shares, in total 54 bottles worth of samples sent out to the USA, South Africa, Israel, Spain, France, Belgium, Germany, England and the Netherlands.
- I received a few free samples for reviewing purposes
- 317 posts
- 389 comments
- little over 300 whiskies reviewed/tasted
I can only say thank you to all who read the blog, comment on Facebook and Twitter, and have helped in any way.
Tonight, I’ll taste some celebratory drams that will appear here in the near future
