Nay, Good Bard William….I Come to Definitely Bury 2020, not to Praise It

Posted on December 31, 2020

Having found 2020 to be an even more formidable foe than ever encountered in the eons of human existence, the Clan Elders conspired with the Druid Masters and Pagan Shaman. Through the shared interplay of Celtic Cross and Pictish runes, they set to devise a plan to bring forth a Scottish Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. A force hoped to be so powerful that not even the bile-ridden 2020 could stand against. Their combined efforts brought forth the:

Peaty Lagavulin 16 with pomegranate, rosemary/blackberry and orange peel garnish

Aberlour 18 with mint/cucumber/lime/lemon finishes – garnished with blueberries

The Godfather – Jura 18 with Amaretto and flame-kissed orange peel. Bringing some Sicilian muscle reference to the fight.

Highland Mule – Dalmore 18 with Ginger Beer and lemon twist/raspberry garnish

Go forward into the fray Horsemen. If the worse be done and the battle lost, may our Norse Cousins send Valkyries to carry you to redemption and angels sing you to your sleep…….

Scotch Library…Library of Congress or Personality Test

Posted on March 8, 2019

Scotch – like people, comes in many varieties, differing qualities and with their own unique characteristics. I have been helped ,by insightful beings, to accept even the blends and water/ice to enhance my experience with meeting each of these. Much like Scotch, I have found the company of people to be similarly consumed. Some I can appreciate on some level, those that I enjoy thoroughly, and still others, that I come back to repeatedly because I connect with them and they move my soul and spirit. Like Gere’s character in “Pretty Woman” remarking about opera, the toil and effort put into the making of Scotch earns my respect and appreciation. Unfortunately, I have to admit, that I have met some people that I care not to consume their company at all.

Scotch Kiss…….Liquid Passion

Posted on August 14, 2018

Scotch – you flow past my lips like a triumphant army returning home

You are powerful, full of life, seasoned from the experiences you have had

You are vibrant with spices, released uninhibited upon the World

You are the dawn and the dusk and the happy moments made in between

You are depth of meaning, secretive thoughts, unbridled joy

You are the long hug goodbye and the warm embrace hello

You are the earthy essence that makes the soul soar

You are the stars of the Gods and the most passionate aspirations of every man’s dreams

An ocean of you could be consumed and still leave the spirit wanting more

And yet……

In a particular moment, a mere drop is enough

A drop so intense, it shames that same ocean away into a distant horizon

A moment when the universe lays itself bare before me

That moment when I lift the faintest taste of you from the lips of a lovely lass

With my own……..

Scotch – Personality Traits……

Posted on May 19, 2018

So, I was in a textersation with a delightful young lady the other day.  She asked me what drink best described me.  I responded: Scotch – complex, aged, with subtleties.  I then received the “You mean OLD” response.  Of course, not being able to accept that situation, I then responded: “I’d prefer fully matured benefitting from time to acquire the necessary components to bring enjoyment to those willing to partake. Smooth and velvety with a smoky sensuality reflecting a character well-formed.”  Digital and silent mic drop followed…….

Lagavulin 16

Posted on April 20, 2018

Lagavulin 16 year from Isle of Islay – one time ancestral home of Clan Donald and home to Dunyvaig Castle of the Mc/MacDonalds

I have come to realize that Scotch has some fairly sensual connotations in describing its appeal.  In this case – “check out the legs” that formed on the glass.
