I suppose the contradictions are what I intend to try and work through, singing and drinking all the while...Tom Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221836843714189735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704984.post-43143237217861047552007-02-24T22:03:00.000+00:002007-02-24T22:03:00.000+00:00There are some interesting contradictions in your ...There are some interesting contradictions in your whisky musings. You seem to denigrate talking about whisky whilst you so obviously love talking about whisky. You are aghast at the 'added taste' of wood finishes while proclaiming your love of the Islay's (clue:- the peaty taste is added with a precision of 1ppm). <BR/><BR/>We live in a golden age of whisky - the rarest of whisky experiences are available to the common man (that's me). But please keep it quiet, 'cos if they all find out the price will go up.<BR/><BR/>If whisky wasn't so enlivening, people wouldn't want to talk about it. But because of that special thing that happens when you put a good whisky in your mouth, one is overpowered by the desire to express oneself, as you so obviously are. <BR/><BR/>And I'm glad you mentioned the most important ingredient to drinking - friends. A great taste enjoyed in company is made even more special.<BR/><BR/>So quit all the introspective, self-conscious, guilt-ridden stuff. Get hold of some great whisky, get high, and write me a eulogy about your amazing bottle of Bruichladdich or Glefarclas. <BR/><BR/>Why muse about whisky when you can sing about it?<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to your next instalment...snakelockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01833872620007713971noreply@blogger.com
