    The power of the kilt Part...whatever

    My wife and I decided to make a trip to Denver a couple of weeks ago and had a great time. While there I/we received many positive comments on the kilt. We were having dinner Sat. at a nice restaurant in LoDo (lower downtown Denver) and just had our coffee delivered when someone tapped me on the shoulder. A gentleman said that anyone wearing a kilt and doing it so handsomely had to get a gift. He was the head of marketing for several single malt scotch labels and just wanted to tell me how great it was seeing someone in a kilt. He handed me a large snifter of Lagavulin 16 and he said that he was going to be doing a scotch tasting in Glenwood Springs in April and invited me to join the tasting. I told him that Glenwood was just down the road from where we lived and that I was planning on going to the April tasting. It's a fund raiser for a local charity and I've been to the last four. I am always amazed at the numbers of people who view kilts and kilt wearing in a favorable fashion. We finished our coffee and I took an extra long time savoring the single malt and the warm feeling I got from my encounter.

    Nice! I was in the Brown Palace last fall and the Bell Captain approached me asking what clan, while I did not get a snifter of whiskey, I did get a nice compliement. I like LoDo and the front range in general. ith:

    The thought of free scotch has converted 3 or my friends from snickering school girls to being open to purchasing their own kilt! Aahhhhh the power of scotch.

    *** for the quote but I've never had a free Scotch!
    I've found that most relationships work best when no one wears pants.

    Kilts and whisky definitely go well together.

    I've received a few samples, notably from Famous Grouse, while kilted at various events. These samples were however measured in ounce glasses and not in bottles. Not that I want to seem ungrateful to The Bird- and anyway, handing out whole bottles is probably punishable by imprisonment or worse here in Ontario

    The very first morning I wore my kilt, a lady at church insisted that I taste a sausage roll (delicious!).
    The second morning, a grandmother spotted me and give me a double thumbs up. Her two granddaughters also gave the thumbs up.
    Gotta love it!
