Morticia - 1000 apologies ! Just checking . . . (blushing, whimpering with embarrassment)
My dear fellow, please cease from your abasement. Quite unnecessary, old bean. I`m rather glad I didn`t have to impose the customary penalty of 40 glasses of  WITH extra parasols,, swizzle sticks and maraschino cherries!! In the mean time, cheers!  |

Was it Dean Martin who said he felt sorry for teetotallers because when they wake up in the morning that's the best they're going to feel all day?

Or was it Frank Sinatra? (The all-knowing Internet gives results for both so it was probably neither.)
Another one from Dean Martin (perhaps):
"If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt."

I'll take the Balvenie, thanks (looks like there's more of it than of the others too, even better). Unless for some reason you've decided I deserve the dreaded Babycham treatment....
... NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

That looks like a 12 year old Macallan lurking behind the Balvenie. I wouldn't say no if it's not already taken. For medicinal purposes only.

Ooh yes, Geroge! Very superior IMO. Bit early in the day though...

It's hard to see exactly what's going on but I'd say the Macallan bottle is almost empty, so you might have to put up with medicinal quantities, George. I'm quite partial to a spot of Dalwhinnie myself as well, and that one looks like the 15-year-old. Cragganmore and Glenkinchie are unknown quantities to me though.

Cragganmore is lovely, very smooth although just for me it's one to savour from time to time rather than live with. I think it was the last Scotch I had the pleasure of imbibing in the company of the much-lamented Mark Osborn.
It was certainly the Scotch which caused a fearful row between me and a French girlfriend (hm, that's the second time in two days I've posted about her...) when she wanted to have that standard French apéritif of whisky and orange juice but the only whisky in the house was my bottle of Cragganmore. I explained that you just don't do that with a drink like that but she insisted. So to bring home a little more clearly what she was doing I poured her the desired beverage and then poured myself some cognac and went to pour orange juice in that.
I actually didn't get as far as putting the orange juice in before I heard a voice being raised in anger, and there we must leave the scene in question. I should have known - you can't win an argument like that.
Ahem. Anyway, what's the one between the Oban and the Glendronach?

Well, no. It'd be a toss-up between that and the Babycham.

I think, Ollie, you need to check that such a preference isn't the case with all future partners, pretty early on. |
