OK, dopey me. I have my timeline all fouled up. The Whiskey tasting was on Thursday and the Parade was on Saturday.
But could be expected to remember when you were offered seven ounces of Ardbeg.
Now I'm not the Whiskey expert that Robertson is. And I don't really like Scotch as much as Bobbie. But this was almost too much for me.
The amazing thing I found was the first glass on the left was the Whiskey just as it comes out of the still. It's brand new and as soon as I tasted it my eyes went wide and I said "Hey, that's moonshine". Now I have had a few mason jars of "shine" and I really like it. So I finished that one without a problem.
Earlier that morning Chas asked if I could help him baste a Kilt he had bought off EBay. So we set up a Kilt Klass in Emma's Breakfast Room.
I don't think Robertson was impressed with his guests moving all the plates and cups off the tables and messing up his room like that.
But a rabble like this cannot be controlled.
That's Alan(ACaig) Robertson, me, Chas, and Alex(cessna152towser) who drove in from Hawick not once but twice to be with us.
Do you notice that Bobbie and Emma are not in the picture? Who do you think took it?
(by the way, for those like me who can't pronounce the names correctly Dumfries is pronounced 'Dumb-free,ss' with the emphasis on free,ss and making it with a long ssss sound.) (and Hawick is a real kicker. I'ts correctly pronounced like 'Hoik'.)
