milod Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Matt... The Glenfiddich is a bit bland for me. Laphroaig has a bit more taste. Some of the "cigar malts" that I believe are aged in sherry casks are rather nice too. Otherwise... just a decent brandy at room temperature, a cup of strong, but not bitter coffee and a glass of icewater... Yeah, looks odd to have three "drinks" at once, but... There certainly is some sort of a metaphor there. <grin> m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Well; it was "Burn's Night" at our place on Saturday so we all had some Haggis, Neeps and Tatties and drank some of this uisge beatha for our toast to the great man. Slainte mhath! P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSween's finest traditional recipe, no less. Of the six adults present three were French and they all enjoyed it immensely. They even made a decent go of reading Burns' "To A Haggis"!! P.

milod Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Pippy... Usually I get an annual "Burns Day" note from a friend in Brisbane, Oz, who is from Scotland originally. He's really into the traditional stuff. But... with the floods, I haven't seen so many notes from him recently. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidl Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Nothing wrong about having more than one drink in front of you. Everyday after work, my wife mixes me up a bloody caesar that goes along with a PBR in the can. For some reason, they just work together. Never mixed together though. Every now and again a shot of tequila is added to make it a trio. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duende Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 I played a concert last week and my old mentor Martin turned up! He hasn't heard me since 2000 (when I did my performance diploma with him) I was very nervous knowing he was in the audience but also quite excited, as I wanted to show how much I had worked and kept playing the last 11 years since I last saw him properly. At a very low point in my life, Martin's teaching got me back on my feet guitar playing wise but more importantly it inspired me to start enjoying life and fighting the good fight. So with a wine in my hand I clink glasses with you all and say Cheers to Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57classic Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 My malt of choice is always Islay. Longtime favorite is 16yr. Lagavulin. Currently enjoying Laphroaig Quarter Cask, Ardbeg Uigeadail and Ardbeg Corryvreckan also. I can't remember when my cabinet has been so well stocked. I'll be drinking Bowmore Legend to make them last.

My wife and I did a drive around Scotland several years, ago, sampling what was local to whatever region we were in (after the car was parked for the night and we had secured the night's lodging). Came home a definite fan of the Islay and, in particular, the 16-year-old Lagavulin. I've got an unopened bottle, a situation that might have to be corrected tonight. I'm envious of your cabinet!

My Scotch cabinet isn't always so impressive. A perfect storm, of sorts, happened near the end of last summer and this is the result. I appreciate how (temporarily) fortunate I am. You have good taste. The drive you did is on my bucket list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, would you mind sharing what kind is that gorgeous guitar you've got there? I'd guess it's a r9... The flame and finish are insane; the kind I'm looking for...

The flame and finish are insane; the kind I'm looking for...\ Actually it is a 1998 R8. It seems that most of the R8s today are plain tops, and the tiger-stripe flame is reserved for the the R9s. If you're looking for a tiger-stripe flame, don't overlook the older reissues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a well kept one! I might have to go for a new one. Gorgeous, man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
