2020-05-10 - Deanonymising SMWS casks with Greasemonkey
(original .ipynb)
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society visit various whisky distilleries across the country selecting barrels to release to their members under their own label. They have interesting names like Muesli Mosh Pit or All-purpose wasp repellent or A choc ice melting on rhubarb crumble. However it's not immediately obvious which distillery each whisky comes from, all you have to go on is a "cask code":
SMWS members have over the years deciphered this however. The first part of this code identifies the distillery, so for "All-purpose wasp repellent" we can look up code "88" somewhere (many places list this, like here, here or here and find that it refers to Speyburn distillery. This can be a bit tedious though, so I picked up a tool I last touched many years ago - Greasemonkey - and wrote a little user-script to replace the actual Distillery name.
Some might argue that part of the fun is in not knowing this information, which is fair enough. But it's a fun exercise. Anyway here's the source code - the lookup and my stupidly verbose style makes it a bit long:
window.addEventListener('load', function() {
const bottles = document.getElementsByClassName("cask-number");
if (bottles.length === 0) {
return;
}
for (let bottle of bottles) {
bottle.innerText = getDistilleryName(bottle.innerText);
}
}, false);
function getDistilleryName(bottleElementText) {
const caskNoLeader = "CASK NO. "
const unknownDistillery = "Unknown Distillery";
if (bottleElementText.indexOf(caskNoLeader) !== 0) {
return unknownDistillery + "(" + bottleElementText + ")";
}
const bottleFullCodeText = bottleElementText.substr(caskNoLeader.length);
const bottleFullCode = bottleFullCodeText.split(".");
if (bottleFullCode.length !== 2) {
return unknownDistillery + " (Cask " + bottleFullCodeText + ")";
}
const distilleryCode = bottleFullCode[0];
const caskNumber = bottleFullCode[1];
const distillery = codeLookup[distilleryCode];
return (distillery == null ? unknownDistillery : distillery.distilleryName) + " (Cask " + bottleFullCodeText + ")";
}
