Blaming Singleton

I was going to post something really profound tonight. I was going to post and respond to NE's latest comment too.

But alas, while out walking Murphy I was waylaid by a neighbor who wanted my opinion on a bottle of whiskey that he'd been given, he not being a whiskey drinker himself.

It was a Singleton single malt, twelve years in the aging. And oh my, was it ever smooth. It might be one of the best Scotch whiskeys I've ever tasted. In fact I had to have a couple more glasses, just to be sure.

But now I don't feel like blogging. And I don't type that well right now, either.

See you tomorrow.

  1. Lucky you. I never liked whiskey until I went to Ireland and did some tours there. I guess it's a taste you don't appreciate when you're 20.

    I keep a bottle of Jameson around and usually have a shot straight up on cold Friday nights.

  3. As much as I enjoy a good single malt Scotch, I have been very restrained (almost but not quite to the point of zero) in my purchases of the vital fluid ever since the Lockerbie Bomber, Abdelbaset Mohmed Ali al-Megrahi, was released by the Scottish government. I have been making do with single barrel bourbons from Kentucky, and, occasionally, Seagram's Crown Royal from Canada.

    Perhaps I shall resume my Scotch whisky procurement habits if Kenny MacAsshole (sometimes erroneously spelled "MacAskill), the guy who was so quick to release al-Megrahi, is dumped by the Scottish government from his post of Cabinet Secretary for Justice (or, better still, run out of the Scottish Parliament altogether).
