You too? I got the invite when this thread first started and added my name to landholders. Than for Christmas my Brother in law bought me a bottle of Laphroaig and registered me again. I just wish my two plots were closer to each other.

Now it has been years since I had Laphroaig, but I must say that when we did a Scotch tasting on New Years eve I had to pour myself a second Laphroaig. Wow is that a nice whisky. The first sip after a dram of Dalmore (one of my personal favs), MacClelland's Highland, and a Glenlivet was a bit of a shocker, but man did it go down nicely.

I'll take an invite, if someone has one to spare... In the mean time, I'm saving my pennies for a bottle to call my own...

I have to admit that I have never been a fan of **cough cough** Scotch Whiskey. (from now on referred to as Whiskey) as I believe I have seen the light.

A neighbor of ours who (retired and the neighborhood handyman) did some plaster work for us and when he wouldn't accept any payment I went to the ABC store to get some whiskey as payment. I ran across a display of Laphroaig and decided that would be nice as a gift. On second thought I bought myself a bottle too. The earthy, musty or peaty taste (however you want to look at it) is certainly an acquired taste but da*n it's good.

On a more er....unfortunate note the night I went over to the neighor's to deliver the bottle was the night of the last Redskins playoff game. After the game he was coming back downstairs (at a friend's) from the washroom and took a tumble. He's been in a coma ever since and has had two brain surgerys.

Sorry, this post is just way weird. I've had more than a couple of whiskeys and am worried about my friend.
