Orvis whisky tasting

[DWFII]

I wear my motorcycle leather jacket with the kilt as well, looks much like yours. Its the only good leather jacket I have at the moment, and has gotten less wear time because I use a textile jacket when I am riding. All this just to say you look pretty darn good and I would have gone for the Laphroaig 4x, too.

Well, if the Laphroaig had been the 15, I would have put on some dark glasses and gone back another 4x.

And thanks for the kind words.

I think your outfit looks good -- great mustache, too!

(and yum! Laphroaig!)

Cynthia,

Thank you indeed. I agree whole heartedly about the Laphroaig. Especially the 15. I like Lagavullin and Talsiker and so forth but never could get comfortable with Laphroaig until I stepped up to the 15. It's like two different malts.

Thanks for the salute to the mustache, as well. I've had some form of facial hair for over 40 years. I don't think I'd recognize myself without it. Once upon a time I had a handlebar that stuck out a good five or six inches on either side of my face. As I got older and the grey replaced the brown, the hair got "funny" and much harder to control...and that wasn't funny. You've never had a "bad hair day" until you've had one right under your nose.

Another vote for motorcycle jackets and kilts here.

I personally think that the short waisted jackets work well with kilts.

For me, I always wear black leather accessories with mine (and more modern sporran) but overall your outfit works.


I'm still working my way up to the Islay style whiskies. I just filled my flask with Glenfiddich 15 for a party later tonight.

Sounds like it was a fun evening!

Cheers

Jamie

Well, maybe not as fun as this and the next few evenings. I have a two-thirds full bottle of a Lagavulin Special Reserve/Distillers Edition (or something like that) that was brought to me directly from Scotland by a friend of mine who went to veterinary school there. I don't think they sell this here in the States.

I was re-reading P1M's treatise on malts over on another forum and ran across the admonishment that once a bottle is opened it should...for best taste...be killed within six months. Especially if it is close to or more than half empty.

I had been saving this malt for "special occasions" but now I see that this Yuletide season may be special enough. May have to be.
