Funnily enough I initially read the thread title as “wandering around in the dam fog”
Oh, crack as slang is something completely different in the US…

Amongst the other whiskies that were available during the session was this one, note the distillation year. It was bottled in 2008.

The photograph really emphasises the stillness of the scene!

Yep, it was a flat calm until the fog burnt off.
